'Minecraft Dungeons' Seasonal Adventures #3: Fauna Faire Planned for Next Week - Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 15, 2022 @ 11:13 p.m. PDT

Fight your way through an all-new action-adventure game, inspired by classic dungeon crawlers and set in the Minecraft universe!

Brave the dungeons alone, or team up with friends! Up to four players can battle together through action-packed, treasure-stuffed, wildly varied levels – all in an epic quest to save the villagers and take down the evil Arch-Illager!

Discover a trove of powerful new weapons and items that will help you defeat ruthless swarms of new-and-nasty mobs. Fight or flee through canyons, swamps and – of course – mines! Any adventurer brave or foolish enough to explore this blocky and beautiful world will need to come prepared.

So quickly, gear up!

During Minecraft Live 2022, Mojang's Laura De Llorens, Vu Bui, JP Johansson, and Kelsey Howard gave us a recap of all the features that have been added to Minecraft Dungeons over the past two and half years. Time sure flies by when you’re having fun, climbing a tower, and fighting for survival! 

They also looked into the future and revealed lots of exciting stuff coming soon. Like the seasonally spooky Halloween content that is coming this month! It’s so spooky, that the Hungriest Horror Armor set and the free Cloaked Armor Set will be haunting Minecraft Marketplace. Plus, they announced the Minecraft Dungeons Heroes Skin Pack, the first skin pack cross-over between these two worlds! Now you can follow my example, dress up as Hal in Minecraft and live every day like it’s Halloween. 

We also got a first-hand look at the new multiplayer mode for the Tower and a peek at Season 3: Fauna Faire!

On October 19, a whole slew of new flairspetsskinsemotes, and free content is coming to Minecraft Dungeons, including the Phantom Familiar. It is only fitting that this terrifying pet was announced at Minecraft Live, the same event where the first phantom was voted into Minecraft. We need to move on to the next segment before I start thinking about it swooping over me and I go hide under my bed...

Now, for those of you who are dying to know what kind of party this is, don’t fret! Here’s a sneak peek of what’s to come.

THEME: PETS & MOBS

The fall might be upon us, but Fauna Faire brings an animal-focused late summer to the camp. This means there will be an abundance of furr-tastic skins, pets, and other mob-themed cosmetic items to add to your closet. Whether you want to embrace your inner chicken or show off your mighty paw-er, there’s something for everyone. And just as with previous seasonal adventures, Fauna Faire will offer two reward tracks – one free and one Adventure Pass track.

TOWER MULTIPLAYER

The Tower is expanding – both when it comes to the variety of floors you can encounter, and the number of players in a run! Fauna Faire’s new Tower multiplayer mode supports four players and puts a bigger focus on team collaboration in order to overcome threats as you ascend to the top.

ENTER THE ENCHANTSMITH

The rumors of a new merchant villager lurking somewhere in the outskirts of the camp were true! The Enchantsmith has arrived just in time for faire and has set up shop eight o’clock from the Adventure Hub (that’s southwest for all you non-clock navigators). Utilize their craftmanship to re-roll properties on your favorite pieces of gear!

TREETOP TANGLE

Located somewhere deep within the lush forests of the Jungle Island, Treetop Tangle is a new free level to explore together with like-minded adventurers. Players who come here will have to prepare themselves for a long climb up a giant tree if they want to discover its secrets. The journey will surely be challenging, but possibly also rewarding as the mission is said to contain some previously undiscovered pieces of gear...

Key Features:

  • Dungeon Creeper! Battle new-and-nasty mobs in this all-new action-adventure, inspired by classic dungeon crawlers.
  • Multiplayer! Up to four players can team up and fight together in co-op mode.
  • Power Up! Unlock dozens of unique items and weapon enchantments for devastating special attacks.
  • Options! Personalize your character, then fight up-close and personal with melee swings, hang back with ranged attacks, or tank your way through swarms of mobs, shielded by heavy armour!
  • Epicness! Explore treasure-stuffed levels in a quest to take down the evil Arch-Illager!
  • Mojang! The first stand-alone game developed by Mojang and set in the Minecraft universe since… well, Minecraft!

Minecraft Dungeons is currently available for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, PC (Steam) at $19.99 USD.
