What kind of game it is

Minecraft Dungeons II is an action role-playing game and a sequel to the original Minecraft Dungeons. Players take on the Illager High Council, a group of illager leaders that has found a new dimension called the Sift and is using its power against the Overworld.

You can play alone or with up to three friends, either online or on the same screen. Loot sits at the center of the game: weapons, armor, enchantments and artifacts are combined to build a character. Xbox Wire describes a connected world map with side quests, dungeons and rifts, and contrasts it with the first game's chapter-driven structure.

Where to play and what it costs

Steam and the PlayStation Store list the standard edition at $29.99. The Deluxe Edition is $49.99 on the Xbox Store, and Insider Gaming reports the same two prices. Xbox Wire says the Deluxe Edition adds four hero skins, a cape, a pet and the first two DLC packs when they are released. On Xbox, Xbox Wire and TheXboxHub both say the game is part of Game Pass at launch, specifically the Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass tiers, so subscribers on those plans can play it without buying it separately. Minecraft.net says online play works through cross-play, and Steam lists cross-platform multiplayer.

Early reviews

Game Informer reviewed the game on Xbox Series X|S. Its reviewer said they finished the story in under 10 hours and felt they had seen everything the game offers after about 15 hours, calling it "a straightforward, entry-level action-RPG."
