Ahead of its upcoming September release, Mojang and Xbox Game Studios have dropped a brand new gameplay trailer for Minecraft Dungeons II, showcasing fresh dungeon crawling action, enemies, and weapons for players on PC via Proton.
Quick Facts
- Release Date: September 29, 2026
- Developers: Mojang, Xbox Game Studios, and Double Eleven
- Platform: Proton / Wine (Windows) via Steam
- New Content: The Sift dimension
Explore the Sift Dimension
The latest trailer highlights mysterious rifts opening across the Overworld leading to the Sift—a brand new dimension coming to Minecraft Dungeons II. Players will team up and gear up to explore uncharted lands, battle entirely new threats, and utilize new loadout and playstyle customization options.
While the sequel provides a familiar dungeon crawling experience for returning fans, developers confirm the title is entirely standalone. Newcomers can jump right into the action without having played the original 2020 release.
Pre-Order Bonuses and Performance Context
Players who pre-order the game ahead of its September 29 launch will receive the exclusive Twisted cape, a Twisted Chicken pet, and two hero skins.
On the hardware and compatibility front, technical tracking for Linux and Steam Deck users points to previous discrepancies with Valve's ratings for the first game, where unsupported tags conflicted with Proton compatibility. Players diving into the sequel on Steam will be watching for official Steam Deck verification status as launch day approaches.
