Subscribe to our newsletter The Minecraft umbrella holds a whole host of games and a movie starring Jack Black at this point, but few of Mojang’s experiments in other genres were quite as good as Minecraft Dungeons. It might have been ‘baby’s first Diablo,’ but it seemed to garner more fans than its so-so action-RTS cousin—and if you’re among those fans, it’s a good day for you: A sequel is coming very soon. MINECRAFT DUNGEONS II | Announce Trailer – YouTube Watch On The news came during today’s Minecraft Live showcase in the form of a brief teaser trailer that shows the game’s voxel-based fantasy realm under fire once again. A narrator recaps the story thus far, saying that “with peace restored, all was well until it wasn’t.” Sounds like justification enough to bash some monsters up for loot.There’s no gameplay footage to go off, and the new Steam page just shows screenshots from the new cinematic, so there’s not much to get excited about just yet if you’re a Minecraft Dungeons layman. Still, this announcement shows that Mojang hasn’t shied away from spinoffs due to Legends’ mixed reception, and should please any fans of Minecraft lore itching to dive back into Dungeons’ lighthearted fantasy world.Article continues below You may like OG Diablo 2 devs are ‘proud’ their classic is still getting love, even as they compete for attention with a new ARPG: ‘We feel the pressure, but I don’t hate them for it’ Blizzard says ‘There’s actually millions of people that still play Diablo 3’ and those players have the right idea Minecraft’s lead dev says Hytale is ‘very polished’ but he’d rather just play Minecraft, and Hytale boss says he’s ‘probably right’—for now T
