A proper update that adds meaningful content to the game.
Minecraft Dungeons isn't conquering headlines as it did at launch. Still, it is enjoying a nice boost in attention after the release of its second expansion, Creeping Winter. This expansion is a fair sight larger than its predecessor, Jungle Awakens, which did little to improve the game's endgame content or draw players back longterm. Creeping Winter aims to set this right, with a host of meaningful additions that make the game easier, more fun, and gives players reasons to return again and again.
Here's the full changelog for the Creeping Winter DLC for Minecraft Dungeons:

Minecraft explores the dungeons.
Minecraft Dungeons is the next saga in Minecraft's story, and Mojang Studios have knocked another one out of the park. Awesome co-op combat paired with powerful loot, all at a crazy affordable price? There's not much more you could ask for in an epic dungeon crawling ARPG.
