Announcing... Minecraft: Dungeons!

Announcing... Minecraft: Dungeons!

An all-new action-adventure game, inspired by classic dungeon crawlers!​

​

NEW GAME ALERT! NEW GAME ALERT! NEW GAME ALERT! Ring the good news bell! Blast the joy klaxon! Detonate the announcement Creeper!​

Got your attention? Oh, good! Because today, we’re introducing Minecraft: Dungeons – a brand new game from Mojang!​

Can you tell we’re excited? Well, it’s not every day we get to announce a new game! Minecraft: Dungeons is being created by a small and dedicated team in Stockholm, Sweden. This has been a passion project for them, and is inspired by their love of classic dungeon crawler games.​

But let’s get specific! What exactly is Minecraft: Dungeons? It’s an all-new action-adventure game inspired by classic dungeon crawlers, where you’ll constantly discover new weapons and items that will help you defeat a ruthless swarm of new-and-nasty mobs. You’ll fight or flee through canyons, swamps and – of course – mines!​

You can brave the dungeons alone, or team up with friends. Up to four players can battle together through action-packed, treasure-stuffed, wildly varied levels, all in an epic quest to save the villagers and take down the evil Arch-Illager!​

But as the old saying goes 'one announcement trailer says more than a rambling blog post ever could'. So without further preamble, here's that trailer:​

Minecraft Dungeons will be coming to PC in 2019.​

Doesn't look all that appealing to me but I can see it getting younger/casual crowd into ARPGs

from that description it basically sounds like Minecraft Diablo

This is such a weird announcement...
They need to show some gameplay, because combat is the worst part of Minecraft, so if it's just "Minecraft minus crafting", it's probably going to be pretty terrible.

i don't think it'll be first-person .... pretty sure it's gonna be isometric(ish)

Minecraft Dungeons is a brand-new game from the creators of Minecraft coming to PC, consoles, and Xbox Game Pass in Spring of 2020.
Fight your way through an all-new action-adventure game, inspired by classic dungeon crawlers and set in the Minecraft universe!

I'm not really interested in this, but it looks better than Diablo Immortal.

This is gonna be part of game pass right?

Yes

This legitimately looks so cool to me.

I'm getting Dragon Quest Builders vibes for whatever reason. I want DQB on PC.

Isn't normal Minecraft a kind of dungeon crawler also? I know there's combat

When a lonely, outcast Illager stumbles upon a mysterious object with terrifying powers, his entire existence is turned upside down. Before long, he finds himself on a path of evil, causing mayhem across the Overworld. Who can stop him?

Minecraft Dungeons is coming to PC and consoles in April 2020.
