Minecraft Dungeons will receive an update on 8 September, and it’ll bring two major additions to the base game. One will be a new piece of paid DLC, while the other is a free update available to all players across Xbox One, PC, Switch, and PS4. Minecraft has Dungeons already received a couple of patches since its launch in May, as well as a first DLC, Jungle Awakens, that was released on all platforms last month.
“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,” the Mojang team wrote today. This second DLC will introduce new armor, weapons, and artifacts, as well as “chilling new mobs.”
The base game should also become much more interesting with a free update where two new merchants will be able to join the player’s camp if the player saves them during their playthrough: The Blacksmith will be able to upgrade their items, while the Gift Wrapper will finally allow players in multiplayer to trade items with each other. This free update will also make merchants upgradable so they can provide better equipment.
The new update will include daily trials which basically seem like a new daily challenge that will provide experimental sections for players to play through and conquer.
