Minecraft Dungeons 2 has a release date, just two months after it was first revealed this past March 2026. It'll arrive on all current-gen PC and console platforms (including Nintendo Switch 2) this coming September 29, 2026. Spotted by Wario64 on X (formerly Twitter), the game's Nintendo eShop page went live earlier than it should've, ahead of its reveal either later today on Summer Game Fest 2026 or on Sunday, during the Xbox Games Showcase.
There's always a few games that entirely leak ahead of the show with an early store page or an early tweet. This year, it's Minecraft Dungeons 2, alongside Hot Wheels Infinite Rush, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Rayman Legends: Retold, and Cronos: Lazarus as either games we knew about getting release dates leaked or unannounced titles getting revealed early.
Both Mojang and Double Eleven are back behind the sequel, which will set you back $29.99 USD if you're not playing it through Xbox Game Pass, which is where you'll almost certainly be able to find it on day one for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
The eShop page has since been taken down, though the bits of the description that are visible in the image reveal that the game's campaign will task players to stop an evil chaos across two worlds, further clarifying the small sneak peek we saw in the announcement teaser trailer below.
"Drop the pickaxe, grab a sword, and charge into a thrilling new adventure in Minecraft Dungeons II," the description reads. "Journey through unexplored lands and mysterious locations, in a quest to stop a new evil from causing chaos in not one, but two worlds! Clash with menacing foes in explosive encounters and fight your way through hordes of mobs that will do everything in their power to stop you from saving the day."
Minecraft Dungeons 2 is the latest September 2026 game, as everyone would rather bundle up in one month instead of launching anywhere close to GTA 6, lest it get lost in the craze of over a decade of hype building up for the next game in what is arguably the biggest video game franchise in the world.
The PlayStation State of Play earlier this week revealed several major titles set to arrive in September, and as Wccftech's Alessio Palumbo points out, everyone trying to arrive before say, mid-October, probably isn't going to make things any better than just launching besides GTA 6.
It'll be interesting to see what the games announced during the rest of the Summer Game Fest string of showcases choose to do, and if we see more double-A or triple-A games gamble with September/early October rather than anywhere close to November 2026.
