If you’ve been feeling a little bored with your world-building adventure in Minecraft but you don’t want to ever stop digging and building and fighting in your blocky, pixelated world, you’ve got something big to look forward to in 2020. Majong has just unveiled the upcoming release of an entirely new title, set within the realm of Minecraft — Minecraft Dungeons.
Fight your way through an all-new action-adventure game, inspired by classic dungeon crawlers and set in the Minecraft universe! Coming to PC, consoles and Xbox Game Pass in spring 2020.

If you’re wondering what Minecraft Dungeon even is, it’s a stand-alone action-adventure game designed with the classic dungeon crawler in mind. Players traverse all new lands, fight all new baddies, and solve all-new puzzles to unlock new items, weapons, spells, and more.
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!
As you wander through various dungeons, you’ll fight mobs and loot their corpses. Of course, no good dungeon crawl is complete without a couple of nice, fat chest of treasures along the way.
You’ll be able to personalize your character, including picking your favorite fighting style. Then, hit the ground running as a tank, ranged fighter, healer, or fighter.
You won’t be fighting alone in Minecraft Dungeons (unless you want to, of course). It’ll support four-player multi-player local and online gaming. Between you and your buddies, you’ll be sure to make it to the mob boss in no time. As long as one of your party members is still alive, they can resurrect everyone and continue the game.
Minecraft Dungeons is coming to a variety of platforms, including Windows, Xbox One, Playstation 4, and Nintendo Switch. It’s not going to be ready until sometime in 2020, but you can sign up for updates at Mojong’s Minecraft Dungeons portal.
“Minecraft Dungeon” is set to launch in Spring 2020, it was announced during Microsoft’s E3 conference on Sunday.
Developed by Minecraft creator Mojang, “Minecraft Dungeons” is an action-adventure game inspired by classic dungeon crawlers. The game, which was first revealed during Minecon Earth in 2018, allows for up to four player co-op and both local and online play.
In “Minecraft Dungeon,” players can unlock dozens of unique items and weapon enchantments to unleash devastating special attacks, and explore treasure-filled levels as they quest to take out the evil Arch-Illager. You can check out the new gameplay trailer above.
E3 2019 is coming to Los Angeles on June 11 through 13, and we’ll cover all the highlights of the event here at Variety as well.
Microsoft just unveiled Minecraft Earth, bringing the augmented reality (AR) world of Pokemon Go and combining it with the social creativity of Minecraft. Players will be able to go adventure using their phones, be it Android and iOS, obtaining rare blocks, building huge structures, and collecting unique mobs for their own personal build spaces.
As a free-to-play game, Minecraft Earth raises the specter of some of gaming’s most predatory monetization practices on mobile phones. Thankfully, Microsoft doesn’t seem to be going down the same route other games have.
Speaking to Executive Producer Jesse Merriam, we learned that Minecraft Earth will have some form of funding model but it doesn’t sound as though it’ll be aggressive.
Minecraft Earth is an upcoming free-to-play AR game.
It should roll out to select cities soon.
Microsoft debuted gameplay footage at Apple’s WWDC19 keynote today.
A few days ago, Microsoft revealed a new augmented reality (AR) game called “Minecraft Earth.” The Pokémon Go-like free-to-play game allows you to experience Minecraft in the real world, through the lenses of your Android and iOS cameras. It utilizes all the same rules as regular Minecraft, including animal breeding, redstone circuits, and construction, with an overworld metagame based on location data.
During Apple’s WWDC19 keynote, Microsoft took the stage and debuts gameplay from Minecraft Earth. Not only does the game look like a lot of fun, but we’ve never seen this level of collaboration in AR games before.
It’ll be interesting to see the types of structures players will build when Minecraft Earth rolls out to everyone. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long! With Microsoft’s well-established American presence, expect Minecraft Earth to first launch in the United States and possibly Canada. Europe and Asia will probably have to wait a while.
What are your thoughts on Minecraft Earth? Do you think the game will be popular? Let us know.
Minecraft is a game that lets players create basically anything they want, assuming that player has the time to do it. It also has Redstone, a resource that allows players to move, power and manipulate blocks in various ways. Combine this with the predictable and simple physics of Minecraft and you end up with some satisfying machines.
While these machines have become popular recently, they aren’t exactly new. People have been making these types of machines for years in Minecraft. One large one was created back in 2011 using sand blocks and like the newer ones, it is very satisfying to watch.
If we ever get a Minecraft theme park, maybe we this could be an attraction? Everyone jumps into a minecart and rides the wave.
