Minecraft Dungeons 2 has leaked online, courtesy of Nintendo. The game appeared on the Nintendo eShop yesterday, revealing its release date, price, fresh details, and a selection of new images.
It's a shame these details were revealed ahead of what was likely planned for Xbox's upcoming showcase on June 7, 2026. Still, the information itself is encouraging, including a September 29, 2026 release date and, perhaps more surprisingly, a $29.99 price tag. Personally, I think that's a pretty fair asking price for what already looks like a fun game.
Funnily enough, September is already shaping up to be a packed month. Whether it's Control Resonant, which supports Xbox Play Anywhere, or PlayStation's Wolverine, there's going to be plenty to play. It's likely publishers are looking to get out of the way before the looming release of GTA 6 in November, which I'm sure will steal the spotlight when it releases.
Back to Minecraft Dungeons 2, though. The game had already leaked not long ago, with details including its codename, Project Spidewood. Those leaks came in part from X0X_LEAK on X (formerly Twitter), who shared details about parts of the game and what to expect.
I'm quite surprised we didn't get more on Minecraft Dungeons 2 during the recent Minecraft Live event, which unfortunately only gave us a two-minute video detailing the game. That trailer did reveal a brand-new story, new environments, and a mysterious new portal called the Deep Dark Portal, which appears to house a new boss.
The game also features couch co-op, something I wish more games included these days. Unfortunately, that's about all we know for now. You can brave the internet and look up what else was revealed through the Nintendo eShop listing, but with the page now taken down, I can't imagine Microsoft is too pleased with what was revealed ahead of the Xbox Showcase.
