The upcoming DLC will be released on September 8 and will bring new missions, enemies, armor, weapons, and artifacts to the game in the midst of a winter storm. There’s already a lot ofcool hidden areas inMinecraft Dungeonsthat players can hunt for, and now there will be even more to explore and discover for players who purchaseCreeping Winter. Those who bought the Hero Edition ofMinecraft Dungeonsfor $9.99 won’t even have to buy the DLC, as all is included.
Hero Edition is also getting an update on September 8, and will be physically available for PS4, Switch, and Xbox One whenCreeping Winterdrops. SinceJungle Awakenswas $5.99 in the US, it’s expected that this DLC will be a similar price, meaning that buying both DLC separately will most likely cost more than just buying Hero Edition and getting both DLC for free. Of course, not everyone likes everything that different DLC have to offer and many people may just prefer to individually purchase DLC that sounds appealing to them.
For people who don’t want to buy the DLC or Hero Edition and are content withMinecraft Dungeons' replayabilityand randomly generated levels, everyone will be getting an update for free. The update is bringing new Merchants that can be saved and will then set up their shops in the player’s camp. The Blacksmith Merchant can upgrade players' items, and the Gift Wrapper lets the player trade items in multiplayer. The update will also include Daily Trials, which will give players optional “difficult, experimental, or fun challenges.”
