What was originally slated as an April 2020 release, Minecraft Dungeons has now been confirmed to release a month later on May 26th.
In a statement released yesterday by Mojang as a new Closed Beta test began said:
We love a good announcement here at Mojang – no matter the type. Just this morning, my team announced that I needed to clean out my moldy old lunchboxes from the fridge. Can you imagine the excitement? The anticipation? The thrill? But we’re not here to talk about my trivial duties. We have much bigger things to share.
So sit down, take a deep breath, stand up, roll out the red carpet, pet your dog, and tell him he’s a good boy. Minecraft Dungeons is coming out May 26 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Game Pass.
As you all know, we initially planned to release Minecraft Dungeons by the end of April. However, due to the current state of the world, this was no longer possible, as we wanted to guarantee the health and safety of our teams, and empower them to deliver the best possible experience to you, our players. We hope you’ll find it was worth the wait.
THE GAME WILL BE AVAILABLE IN TWO EDITIONS:
- Minecraft Dungeons – Standard Edition – $19.99 USD
- Minecraft Dungeons – Hero Edition – $29.99 USD
The Hero Edition contains a Hero Pass that includes a Hero Cape, two player skins, and a chicken pet. Hero Edition also includes two upcoming DLC packs.
Minecraft Dungeons is coming out May 26 on Xbox One and Windows 10 as well as day one into Xbox Game Pass for Console and PC. It will also launch for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.
