  • Mojang Studios has finally released the changelog for the update, which features a long list of changes and improvements.
  • Minecraft Dungeons Ultimate Edition also releases today, which includes Minecraft Dungeons and all previously released expansions.

The Minecraft Dungeons Echoing Void DLC just released to players earlier today alongside a massive free update, but players seeking for the exact changes have been forced to wait for Mojang Studios. Now, the Echoing Void update changelog is finally available, and details all the bug fixes, general improvements, balancing changes, and new features heading to all players, regardless if they picked up the Echoing Void DLC for Minecraft Dungeons or not.

Minecraft Dungeons didn't stop at releasing a new DLC expansion, either. Because Echoing Void concludes the first Minecraft Dungeons saga, Mojang Studios also released Minecraft Dungeons Ultimate Edition, which includes Minecraft Dungeons and all expansions and DLC in one bundle, at a pretty aggressive price. Because of this and the game's constant support, Minecraft Dungeons is one of the best Xbox games in our books.
