Alongside the Howling Peaks DLC, Mojang Studios also announced the much-coveted cross-play support in the game. The cross-play update will be arriving before the Howling Peaks DLC, with a release scheduled for November, and will be available on the Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

The Howling Peaks DLC is also accompanied by the Apocalypse Plus mode, a free update that will be adding endgame content for players. The Apocalypse mode will add twenty new levels beyond the current maximum, thereby increasing the characters’ power ceiling. It will also add a plethora of new enchantments and items. With so much content slated to release for the game, Minecraft Dungeons fans have a lot to look forward to in the days to come.
