Minecraft Dungeons gets Spooky Fall event and adds Apocalypse Plus mode in new update

Minecraft Dungeons is rolling out a new patch update today with 1.5.0.0, which pending adds the Spooky Fall event to Minecraft Dungeons. With this event, which lasts from today until November 3, 2020, you’ll have seasonal challenges and trials to complete, as well as exclusive gear and rewards to unlock. This is Minecraft Dungeons’ first holiday event, so hopefully this will pave the way for future timed celebrations.

Alongside the Spooky Fall event, we’re also getting the announced Apocalypse Plus mode on Minecraft Live alongside the Minecraft Dungeons Howling Peaks DLC. With Apocalypse Plus, players will have access to an extra twenty difficulty levels, leading to greater challenge, more powerful gear, and just a whole lot more game to play. You can jump into Apocalypse Plus right next to the Spooky Fall event for even more challenges. Good luck!

The full changelog for the Minecraft Dungeons 1.5.0.0 update includes:
