Mojang Studios has officially unveiled Minecraft Dungeons II, the highly anticipated sequel to their action-packed dungeon crawler, during the Minecraft LIVE 2026 showcase.
Confirmed for both Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 consoles, Minecraft Dungeons II will be available as a digital release via the Nintendo eShop in Fall 2026, expanding the Minecraft universe with fresh adventures and cooperative gameplay.
As one of the most recognizable names in gaming, Mojang Studios continues its commitment to delivering engaging experiences for the Nintendo hardware family.
Building on the success of the original Minecraft Dungeons—which found a dedicated audience on the Nintendo Switch—this new installment promises even greater action-RPG mechanics and all-new explorations that push the boundaries of the beloved franchise.
In an official developer update published alongside the announcement, Mojang Studios described Minecraft Dungeons II as a 'brand-new action-RPG adventure' set to immerse players in high-stakes battles, captivating challenges, and previously unexplored locations within the vast Minecraft universe.
The studio emphasized that loot remains a central theme, encouraging players to collect rare rewards and share them with up to three friends in online or local co-op as they unite to rescue a world facing crisis.
According to Mojang Studios, 'It’s clear that Minecraft Dungeons II builds directly on the foundation of its predecessor, offering fans fresh ways to experience cooperative play while diving deeper into new environments.' The team also encouraged new players to explore the original Minecraft Dungeons ahead of the sequel’s arrival, citing now as 'the perfect opportunity to catch up.'
The original Minecraft Dungeons launched in May 2020 and quickly became a standout on the Nintendo Switch eShop, commended for its accessible gameplay, vibrant art style, and seamless multiplayer.
With millions of players having joined the adventure across all platforms, the sequel’s development signals Mojang’s ongoing support for the Nintendo ecosystem—including the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2, poised to deliver technical upgrades and enhanced player experiences.
Minecraft Dungeons II will launch globally as a digital exclusive on the Nintendo eShop for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 in Fall 2026.
