After a delay in 2019, Mojang locked in a new release date for the upcoming "action-adventure" Minecraft Dungeons. It was meant to launch this month, but instead, will now be appearing on the Nintendo Switch and multiple other platforms on 26th May. Here's the official confirmation:
This Minecraft spin-off is inspired by classic dungeon crawlers of yesteryear, where you to team up with three other players (online or via local play) to take down hoards of nasty mobs. At the same time, you must power up your weapons and items, and collect as much treasure as possible.
Classes? Never heard of them! Minecraft Dungeons is all about how you build your character with the gear you aquire. Want to be a hard-hitting wizard-knight-rogue with a top hat? Nothing is stopping you!
Will you be trying out this game when it launches on the Switch next month? Leave a comment below.

@Juga Now there's a game I haven't heard of in a long time. Good memories.
Should be a fun game. I like the idea of a Minecraft dungeon crawler. So, I’ll be getting it.
It requires you to team up with other players?
Well the small chance I'd try this game just became 0%. Or at least 0% chance I'd buy it. I don't buy multiplayer-only games.
@Heavyarms55 The writer's first language isn't English. The multiplayer is optional, only thing required is dungeon crawling for epic loot.
Disappointed there isn't a physical release. Ah well, I can do without it.
@Heavyarms55 Oops, fixed! You can play the game by yourself and there's no requirement to play in a party.
@TheAwesomeBowser I don't why the article says there isn't one, because mojang never confirmed that, they said preorder for other platforms for PC would be coming out in the following weeks, which may include a physical release for switch
I'll most likely be picking up two copies of the game, one version for the Switch (for myself), as well as an X-Box version (spits on ground), for my nephew, as a birthday present.

Release date TBC, apparently.
Better be Physical option as well.
@Liam_Doolan Interesting.
This game better run at a fixed 1080p/720p (docked/portable) resolution and a rock solid 60 fps, with such simplified graphics anything else would be inexcusable. If they can't manage that on Switch, I'll likely skip it or give it a go on PC if it reviews well.
Can't wait to play Dungeons on May with the boys
No wireless local. I'll stick with Diablo3 or that torch game.
@Wilforce @Liam_Doolan Thanks for clearing that up!
