What is Minecraft Dungeons II?
An action adventure in the Minecraft universe: you fight hordes of mobs with swords, bows and magic gear instead of mining and building. This time the world is connected and open to explore, and rifts lead to a new dimension called the Sift. You don’t need to have played the first Minecraft Dungeons.
How is it different from Minecraft?
Minecraft is a sandbox about building and survival. Dungeons II is a dungeon crawler: no block building, just exploring, fighting and collecting loot to make your hero stronger. It’s a separate game, sold separately, with its own updates.
