While dungeon crawling Minecraft spin-off Minecraft Dungeons was quite popular when it came out – it even crossed 25 million players back in 2023 – Mojang has been quiet about its future. A new rumour indicates that a sequel to Minecraft Dungeons might be in the works.

Datamining team XOXLeak has discovered that a game, internally titled Project Spicewood, has been in development for the last two years, and that it is a sequel to Minecraft Dungeons. It is worth noting that, as is the case with most rumours, this one should also be taken with a grain of salt.

According to the leak, some of the new zones in Project Spicewood will be Honeycomb Fields (with Undermill, Farm, Island, Lake, Fields and Forest as its main points of interest), Desert (with Cliff, Fortress, Mountain, Village and Icelagoon), and Forest (with Deep Dark Entrance, Outpost Entrance, Witchzone and Shady Forest). There will also be a town, which will likely be the base of operations for players.

Back in September 2023, Mojang had announced that update 1.17 would be the last bit of content made for Minecraft Dungeons, and that the development team that worked on the game would be moving on to another Minecraft-related project. This timeline seemingly matches up with XOXLeak’s post quite well, since we’re close to two years having passed since the announcement.

“As 1.17 was Minecraft Dungeons’ final update, our team has now moved on to new projects that continue to explore experiences in the Minecraft universe,” said Mojang at the time. “This means that there are no new features or content updates planned for the game. We do intend to continue bringing new experiences to the Minecraft universe and give our team the freedom to keep exploring the types of games they’re passionate about – just as they did with Dungeons.”

Since its release back in May 2020, Minecraft Dungeons had been quite popular. February 2022 saw the game’s player base rise all the way up to 15 million, and then in September 2023, Mojang had announced that more than 25 million players had experienced the dungeon crawler.

Another spinoff, Minecraft Legends, has also been quite popular. Back in April 2023, Mojang revealed that it the title had more than 3 million players since its launch. The game had seen plenty of updates, but in January 2024, Mojang had announced that the Snow vs Snouts update would be the last one the title would get.

In the meantime, Minecraft continues to be incredibly popular. A report from October 2023 revealed that the game had surpassed 300 million copies sold since its official launch all the way back in 2011. Currently, Minecraft sits at the top of the charts for the number of copies it has sold, with GTA 5 being second with roughly 210 million copies sold, and Wii Sports being a distant third with 82.9 million copies sold.
