It all started when we were trying to figure out a cool Minecraft-style game for the Nintendo 3DS. We toyed with a bunch of different ideas, but finally making a dungeon crawler was something that really struck a chord with us.

About Minecraft Dungeons

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?

In Minecraft Dungeons, the dungeon crawler lets you stroll through various dungeons alone or together with friends and fight against various monsters.

Run alone or with friends through the famous Minecraft-themed levels. Solve puzzles and defeat monsters to get to the end. Don’t be stopped by zombies and other famous monsters from the Minecraft series. Minecraft Dungeons can be played with up to three others both online and locally.

Minecraft Dungeons was announced during the E3 press conference of Microsoft (2019). The release of the game is expected in the spring of 2020.
