The illagers are back

According to Mojang, after the events of Minecraft Dungeons, rifts are appearing across the Overworld. An “Illager High Council”, led by three leaders, is attacking the world. You face it alone or with up to four players, in online or couch co-op. The game adds an interconnected Overworld map and a new dimension, the Sift. You combine weapons, armor, enchantments, talismans and artifacts to build your own playstyle.

Platforms, publishers and languages

The game launched on September 29, 2026 on Windows, Steam, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Switch and Switch 2. Xbox Game Studios publishes it on Steam and Xbox; PlayStation and Nintendo list Mojang as the publisher. According to Xbox Wire, it is included with Game Pass and supports Xbox Play Anywhere. Steam and PlayStation list French voices and text.

What the press says

The three selected reviews were played on Xbox Series. Destructoid (9/10) finds it better than the first game in almost every way, with simple but satisfying combat and addictive progression. It regrets an unremarkable story, occasional visual clutter and bugged quests. Gaming Nexus (8.5/10) likes the well-tuned loot, very flexible co-op and clean performance on Series X and Series S. It still finds combat simple and the story forgettable. VGChartz (7/10) sees an entry-level Diablo-like for all ages, richer than the first game. In its view, hardcore ARPG fans may find it a little flat, especially solo.
