We are approaching the end of the year and 2020 is fast approaching. Some of the biggest games of recent times are set to release early in the next decade. A game that makes us think is Minecraft Dungeons. It’s a role-playing game and a dungeon crawler, which means it will contain player customization and multiple biomes.
fans of Minecraft and newcomers should know that this game is a big deal. If it’s as awesome as dungeon crawlers Diablo 3, Path of Exile, and Torch 2, it will appeal to a lot of players. These are 5 things we know about Minecraft Dungeons and 5 we hope.
ten We already know: it has 4-player online co-op
Praise the sky from Minecraft Dungeons will have 4-player online co-op. This news is all the more significant as the game will be 4-player online cooperative on consoles from the start. This contrasts with Diablo 3which got a console release months after its release.
4-player online co-op will allow friends to connect and play together in what could be one of the biggest releases of 2020. Minecraft belonging to Microsoft, Minecraft Dungeons Also coming to PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
9 Hoping: Mods on PC and console
Mods are becoming more and more embedded in the making of video games. Cross-platform play, online co-op, and mods are essential today. Mods allow players to experience games in ways they never imagined. For mod developers, mods allow them to customize a game to their liking.
It should be noted that the screenshot in the photo above is part of Minecraft Dungeonthe game of. No modifications or mods have been used to create this image. Still, this image helps us visualize what the mods might entail.
8 We already know: it is developed by the same company that created Minecraft
Mojang may be the company behind the latest versions of Minecraft, but it was Markus Persson who created the game in its early days. He is someone who is passionate about construction and who had a Lego collection as a child.
Markus Persson may not be a developer working on Minecraft Dungeon‘s, but a lot of the same people from Mojang stayed on Minecraft Dungeons. For those who haven’t seen it yet, Minecraft: The Mojang Story is a 2012 documentary about the creation of Minecraft.
seven Hoping it doesn’t look anything like Minecraft: Story Mode
The general consensus is that Minecraft: story mode is neither the best Minecraft game nor the best telltale game. Minecraft: story mode is an episodic adventure that failed to live up to the hype. The best thing Mojang can do is try to distance itself from Minecraft: story mode as much as possible.
Minecraft Dungeons should have an engrossing story combined with gameplay that does not disappoint. We hope it’s nothing like Minecraft: story mode.
6 We already know it’s comparable to games like Diablo 3 and Path Of Exile
Since Minecraft Dungeons belongs to the same genus as Diablo 3 and way of exile, there will likely be similarities. As mentioned by minecraft.net, you’ll be able to “customize your character, then fight up close with melee strikes, stay back with ranged attacks, or fight your way through swarms of mobs, protected by heavy armor. !”
Diablo 3 uses character classes, but we don’t know if Minecraft Dungeons will do it too. Maybe Dungeons will add RPG elements, giving players the freedom to choose skills and attributes.
5 Hoping: cross-play between all platforms
According to windowscentral.com, “Minecraft Dungeons will support cross-play between Xbox and PC, but other platforms, like the Nintendo Switch, are still under consideration.” We can only hope that Minecraft Dungeons will eventually add cross-play between all platforms.
The ability to play with a friend from another console is something that should be commonplace. Given that Minecraft Dungeons supports 4-player online co-op play, this would be the perfect game to receive full cross-play support. Minecraft is one of the most ported games of all time – next up is crossplay.
4 We already know: it will be a loot-based game
Dungeon Crawler games and loot hunting go hand in hand. Exploring vast underground worlds and collecting loot provides a very enjoyable experience.
It was confirmed by Minecraft Dungeonthe gameplay videos of it will be loot-based. That means lots of enemies, item management, and farming. For many of us, it’s a dream come true. The fact that this is a loot-based game may put some players off, but at this point, Minecraft Dungeons is a clean slate and should not be compared to other loot-based games.
3 Hoping: it will be released in early 2020
Minecraft Dungeons is slated for a spring 2020 release. Still several months away, the game couldn’t have arrived sooner. For once, it would be nice to see a AAA game release before its scheduled release date.
Spring 2020 is far away, which is why winter 2020 seems to be a more favorable time slot. Fingers crossed for that Minecraft Dungeons won’t be released later than Spring 2020 because a delay would be the worst.
2 We already know: there will be boss fights
We don’t know how many boss fights will be contained in Minecraft Dungeons. Given that the gameplay reveal trailer showed off at least one, chances are the game will include an abundance of bosses to fight.
Judging by the screenshot above, we can assume the boss fights are going to be wild and out of this world. We look forward to more details on from Minecraft epic boss fights. Obviously, even pixelated graphics can be awesome when using the Unreal Engine.
1 Hoping: a long and meaningful endgame
Minecraft Dungeons must add replayability in the form of an expansive end game. Most of the major loot-based dungeon crawlers have a substantial endgame. End games open up the possibility of playing a game like Minecraft Dungeons for hundreds of hours.
It is still too early to tell us how long Minecraft Dungeons will be, and whether it will have replayability. For now, we can hope that Minecraft Dungeons has an engaging endgame that doesn’t get old.
