Minecraft Dungeons wakes up the jungle with its first DLC subsequent week

Pack your mozzie spray and put in your hardiest boots, traveller. Minecraft Dungeons is making ready to take us into the undergrowth with its first DLC pack, Jungle Awakens. Arriving subsequent Wednesday, the enlargement is bringing some lush new ranges, weapons, skills and story missions to the block-busting dungeon crawler – together with a brand new dungeon, gear and steadiness adjustments in a free replace that very same day.

Mojang broke the information in a post over on the Minecraft Blog this week. It doesn’t elaborate past what we already knew – that Jungle Awakens will ship you off to the rainforest to battle new overgrown mobs like Leapleaf, Jungle Zombie and Poison Quill Vine, utilizing new weapons and armour throughout three new story missions. It does embody pixellated pandas, although, and they’re very cute.

The submit does, no less than, share extra deets on the free replace that’ll launch alongside Jungle Awakens subsequent week. There’ll be a brand new dungeon, Lost Temple, accessible no matter whether or not or not you’ve paid up for a jungle tour. Just a few new gadgets are being thrown into the combo, and all the things is getting a little bit of a steadiness shake-up. While this week’s submit is just too conversational to get into the nitty-gritty, I think about we’ll get correct replace notes nearer to launch.

Sadly, the submit doesn’t replace us on Minecraft Dungeons’ incoming cross-play support. Neither does it sit back for extra on Dungeons’ second DLC, Creeping Winter, which was teased again in Jungle Awakens’ announcement post. That’ll be one for winter, I reckon.

For now, we’ll simply need to accept the sweltering warmth when Jungle Awakens launches as a part of the game’s Hero Pass on the Windows Store and the official Minecraft site subsequent Wednesday, July 1st. Suppose we’ll need to replace our helpful Minecraft Dungeons Hidden Runes guide as soon as it drops, eh?
