A Nintendo eShop listing has surfaced that lists Minecraft Dungeons 2 with a release date of 29 September for the Nintendo Switch, and also includes an entry labeled "Nintendo Switch 2." The entry, visible on Nintendo's digital storefront, published the date ahead of several high-profile industry showcases scheduled around the same period.
Minecraft Dungeons is a dungeon-crawling spin-off created by Mojang Studios and published by Xbox Game Studios; the series expands the Minecraft franchise into cooperative action-RPG territory.
While Mojang developed the original Minecraft Dungeons, official details about the development team for a direct sequel have not been independently confirmed in this listing.
The eShop entry itself is the primary source for the September 29 release date and the platform listings cited here.
Rewritten statement from the eShop discovery: The Nintendo eShop entry made the September 29 release public before several major gaming showcases, effectively publishing the date ahead of those events.
The listing named both Nintendo Switch and an entry labeled "Nintendo Switch 2," indicating Nintendo platforms are included in the product listing.
What we can confirm from public records: Minecraft Dungeons originated at Mojang Studios and was released in 2020 as a separate title from the main Minecraft franchise.
Xbox Game Studios handled publishing duties for the original release.
The eShop listing is a direct source of the September 29 date and the platform references; further official announcements from publishers or developers are still expected to provide additional confirmation, platform details, and edition information.
Industry events such as Summer Game Fest and the Xbox Game Showcase commonly serve as venues for release-date reveals and major trailers.
The eShop posting appearing before those showcases means consumers and press have access to the listed release date in advance of potential formal reveals at those events.
What to watch next: look for official confirmation from Mojang Studios or Xbox Game Studios, and for any trailers, Nintendo Direct segments, or showcase presentations that provide launch details, edition differences, or platform-specific features.
For now, the September 29 date and the platform entries come from the Nintendo eShop listing itself, which remains the verified source for this report.
