Towards the end of May, the creator of wildly popular sandbox video game Minecraft, Mojang Studios, detailed two DLC packs for its recently released spin-off title Minecraft Dungeons. The names of these added content for the game were revealed to be Jungle Awakens and Creeping Winter with the former featuring a jungle theme and the latter a frozen landscape setting.
At the time it was announced, Majong had disclosed a July 2020 release time slot for Jungle Awakens. Today the video game developer assigned an exact date of July 1, 2020, for the upcoming Minecraft Dungeons expansion pack.
Sweat drips down your brow. A wall of vines blocks your path. A distant rumble of something stirring deep in the undergrowth.
