Minecraft Dungeons has moved away from full DLC expansions in favor of "Seasonal Adventures," which periodically add brand-new content and features for players to explore and unlock. Mojang Studios has been working on Season 2 of Minecraft Dungeons, which includes new mobs to fight, new pets to adore, new quality-of-life improvements, and new features for The Tower.

Minecraft Dungeons: Luminous Night is now available alongside dozens of changes, and plenty of reasons for players to return to this ever-expanding action-RPG title. Minecraft Dungeons is absolutely packed with content at this point in its life, and now it has even more. Some of the highlights of this release include:

• A new optional "Adventure Pass" with tons of premium rewards on top of the free tiers, missions, and challenges
• New content for The Tower, including additional biomes, puzzles, floors, and enemies
• The Wildfire, a boss-like mob with four shields, the ability to regenerate health in fire, and terrible ranged fire attacks
• New adorable pets, cosmetics, flairs, emotes, and much more to unlock through The Tower, the Adventure Pass, and more
• The addition of the Storage Chest, which allows players to store and organize all of their gear (300 new slots!) in the Camp and sync it through the cloud
• 10 new Achievements to unlock
• Dozens of other fixes, changes, and improvements

The Season 2 Luminous Night update for Minecraft Dungeons is now available across all platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation, PC, Switch, and Xbox Cloud Gaming. Minecraft Dungeons was already one of the best Xbox games you can play, and this injection of fresh content makes it even better.
