Nintendo pre-order updates for August 16 have added Minecraft Dungeons 2 to retailer listings ahead of a September 29 release date. This new entry will be available for both Switch and Switch 2 in the United States. The update comes via Nintendo Everything’s August 16 preorder tracker, which also highlights a busy schedule of late-summer and fall releases across Nintendo’s current hardware.
This is tracker-reported availability rather than a Nintendo product announcement, but it gives dungeon-crawling players a concrete date to note. The listing places Minecraft Dungeons 2 at Amazon in the US, while the UK Switch 2 schedule also carries the game for September 29.
Minecraft Dungeons 2 Joins a Crowded September Lineup
Minecraft Dungeons 2 is the headline addition, but the August 16 update shows how dense Nintendo’s preorder calendar has become. Switch 2 owners have several major releases queued before the end of September, including Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 on August 27, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on August 28, and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave on September 17 in the US listing.
There are also notable format-specific entries for collectors and longtime Nintendo players. Onimusha: Way of the Sword has both standard and Steelbook editions dated for September 4 on Switch 2, while Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is listed for October 1. The tracker also includes Xenoblade Chronicles 3 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for December 3.
The September 29 Listing is the Practical Detail to Watch
For now, the key detail is straightforward: players planning a co-op dungeon-crawling return can watch the September 29 slot, with the same US date listed for both Switch and Switch 2. No pricing, edition details, gameplay features, or technical targets accompany the tracker entry, so the retailer listing should be treated as an early availability signal rather than a full breakdown of what the sequel will offer.
That restraint matters. A preorder page can get a game into players’ carts, but the deciding factors for a loot-driven action RPG are the progression loop, local and online play options, and how well the game performs when the screen fills with enemies and effects. Those are the details that will determine whether Minecraft Dungeons 2 earns a place beside its predecessor rather than simply riding its name.
Are you ready to preorder Minecraft Dungeons 2 for September 29, or are you waiting to see how its dungeon-crawling hook evolves?
