Lots of lovely announcements for Minecraft Dungeons have been shared today, and we won't have long to wait before getting stuck into all of them.
The game is set to receive a 'Creeping Winter' DLC, a free game update, and a physical version across all platforms all on the same day, 8th September. The physical retail version will be called the 'Hero Edition' and includes the Jungle Awakens DLC, Creeping Winter DLC, base game, and unique cosmetics as standard.
As for that Creeping Winter DLC, here's what you can expect:
The Creeping Winter DLC brings a wintry storm that threatens to consume all it touches. The only chance of halting the biting frost is for a hero to take on new missions and relentless new enemies! Since no good deed goes unrewarded, let’s say it’s finders keepers on all the new armor, weapons, and artifacts you’ll run into along the way. Just watch out for chilling new mobs and slippery ice on your way to save the day!
The free update we mentioned, also coming on 8th September, is set to add some new merchants and daily trials.
Save captured Merchants you encounter as you play the game and they’ll be so grateful that they’ll set up shop in your camp! The Blacksmith will upgrade items for you, and the Gift Wrapper will allow you to trade items with other players in multiplayer. The Merchants can also be levelled up for additional stock. The Daily Trials will provide fun new challenges every day! Daily Trials make wild changes to the game mechanics which provide difficult, experimental, or fun challenges for you to overcome.
Lots of cool stuff on the way, then. Are you looking forward to the new content? Are you perhaps considering picking up a physical edition of the game? We'll be listening below.

How similar is this game to something like Diablo? Obviously not talking art direction...lmao
@TG16_IS_BAE idk how similar it is to diablo, but it’s not that great of a game. There isn’t enough content and the last dlc wasn’t that good.
@bobzbulder Good to know. I tried getting into Diablo 3 but it's just so darned tiny on the Switch. I hated it so much it made me just boot up Diablo 2, LOL. But thanks for the heads up. Diablo 2 is still king, I guess!!!
Nice, was gonna nab this today but I'll wait for da physical release now.
@Dragwhite
"Code in a box" doesn't qualify as a physical release in my book.
Are any of the three releases physical?
I might buy the physical. If the dlc is on cartridge instead of s code or update I’ll 100% buy it.
@Magician why are you assuming it’s not a cartridge?
Winter?
I’d like a piece of that. It’s currently way too hot.....
I thought it said creepy winter.
My disappointment is immesurable, and my day is ruined
@Friendly here too. Ugh, I hate the USA.
This should have been Day 1. Both of these ideas felt necessary from mid-game forward, and seemed to be hinted at by a certain loading screen. I won't play the game until then.
@TG16_IS_BAE only played 5hours so far, from what I can tell, your character class depends on your weapon you using, and each weapon has it’s on set of skills as well as passive skills.
The world is different, where you play out levels and not so open to diablo, u do get a “home base” where u can shop and set up skills etc.
Duh! Bought the digital Version because I thought there would be no physical.
Glad I waited now I'll pick up the physical. I hope that download required on the box is only for the DLC. If not then I'll pass...
The game sadly missed its mark so much, not even DLC will be able to fix it :/ If you're itching for an ARPG on switch, Torchlight 2 is still the much better pick in terms of bang for you buck.
They delay the physical release by several months and then have the audacity to NOT include the full game on the cartridge?!
What the hell's the point?
Diablo was a bad boring button masher on switch. Splashing a minecraft name on it only makes it worse. Torchlight 2 for the easy win
@TG16_IS_BAE It definitely pulls a lot from Diablo. My six year old son loves it, so one day I'm sure he'll love Diablo as well. But if you like either Minecraft or Diablo it's easy to get into.
The fact you don’t have random players fill games ruined it for me. You can only play with friends you invite from your list.
@nimnio Torchlight 2 felt like it embraced too much of a cartoonish atmosphere, as did Diablo 3. Diablo 1+2 are so dark in tone and atmosphere, that it felt strange to play 3. Also found the simplified RPG systems a turn off.
I would hardly say that T2 is better than D3, I find them both to lack.
@nimnio i just found diable to be a boring button masher where i was just pressing A all the time. Torchlight 2 i enjoyed the combat so much better but to be fair both these games i dont play at all anymore... ( its evenjoyable seeing blizzard fanbys sook it up.) I also thought overwatch was incredibly bland
Don't see it listed on any Australian website yet. JB has the other consoles listed, but not Switch. : (
@MeowMeowKins I mean, there's always Alaska
@Deltarogue this is true. But Massachusetts gets cold too, and everyone on Boston can go disappear. So, idk 🤷🏽♀️
@MeowMeowKins lol
