Game developer Mojang last year announced that it was working on Minecraft Dungeons -- a blocky version of the classic dungeon crawlers. We are now aware of when it will be released. The game was originally scheduled for release in 2019, however Microsoft now claims it will launch on Xbox One, PC and Switch in April 2019.
The game is characterized by its distinctive Minecraft look and feel, however, it turns the series' traditional formula completely upside down. Dungeons lets players allow their imaginations to run wild on a vast open canvas. It's an adventure game that can be played online with up to four people.

Dungeons is an obsession for the small team at Mojang however it's not the only Minecraft spin-off. Mojang was also responsible for Minecraft: Story Mode. The narrative-driven adventure game was very popular when it launched in the year 2015.
According to Microsoft's latest trailer, which is a bit hazy players who sign up through Mojang will get the chance to play Dungeons first. This could be a hint of an early beta prior to the official launch in April. It's not known when exactly this will occur.
