Minecraft Dungeons Release Window Announced

Today, Mojang and Microsoft announced that Minecraft Dungeons will hit PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC April 2020. When in April, wasn't revealed, but we should be hearing a precise release date soon. What the pair did reveal was a brand-new trailer that you can check out at the top of the article. They also revealed the game will only cost $20, or $30 if you cop a "Hero Edition" retail copy.

"Fight your way through an all-new action-adventure game, inspired by classic dungeon crawlers and set in the Minecraft universe," reads an official snippet of the game. "Brave the dungeons alone, or team up with friends! Up to four players can battle together through action-packed, treasure-stuffed, wildly varied levels – all in an epic quest to save the villagers and take down the evil Arch-Illager! Discover a trove of powerful new weapons and items that will help you defeat ruthless swarms of new-and-nasty mobs. Fight or flee through canyons, swamps and – of course – mines! Any adventurer brave or foolish enough to explore this blocky and beautiful world will need to come prepared. So quickly, gear up!"
