Reception to Minecraft Dungeons has been phenomenal, and it has replaced Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the US Nintendo eStore. The hot new DLC will give players new areas to explore, new mobs, and three new story missions, all with a humid jungle theme.

For players who already have Minecraft Dungeons Hero Edition, this DLC is already included, but for everyone else the price for just Jungle Awakens is just $5, at least if the leaks from last month are to be believed. Upgrading an account with a Hero Pass will also do the job for $10 and give access to future DLC as it comes out. Considering Creeping Winter is also rumored to be coming out soon, it might be worth it to upgrade to Hero Edition.
Fans have high hopes for Jungle Awakens, and the number one hope is that there will be enough content to make the DLC satisfying to play through. Considering there are 10 story missions and four secret missions, the three new story missions put Jungle Awakens at less than a quarter than what the base game has. The added content, mobs, and items will add value to the story lines. Ultimately, its worth is up to the players.
To tide over the Steves and Alexes of the world until the release next week, Mojang has released two game track albums on Apple Music and Spotify, one for the base game and one for Jungle Awakens. Peter Hont has really done a great job of creating a jungle-appropriate atmosphere through his music, and it makes great background music for studying and writing.
Hopefully, the release will also come with a few bug fixes. Since its release, the number of issues reported on Mojang Studios’ Minecraft Dungeons bug tracker has gone up to nearly 2000, outpacing the number of issues being resolved. Considering some of these bugs are causing major crashes for players on PC and Xbox, it is imperative that Mojang keep on top of them.
Minecraft Dungeons is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
