According to game director Måns Olsen, the game was inspired by Diablo and Torchlight, as well as co-operative first-person shooter games like Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide and Left 4 Dead. For example, after adding in multiplayer features, the development team realized that these changes made the game more fun. However, as the game began to take shape, these elements were changed or removed. Experimenting with different ideas, the game was originally meant to be a single-player dungeon crawl game, inspired by The Legend of Zelda series, for the Nintendo 3DS. With the continued success of the original Minecraft, Mojang thought about other possible games that could bring something new to the Minecraft universe. Console ports are being done by Double Eleven.

Echoing Void is the conclusion of the Orb of Dominance storyline, and sees the players traveling to the End to destroy the final shard, facing various monsters along the way, with the "Vengeful Heart of Ender" as the final boss.ĭungeons is developed by Mojang Studios for Xbox One, Windows 10, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch using Unreal Engine 4.The final boss is the "Ancient Guardian".

Now known as the "Arch-Illager", he sought vengeance on all those who wronged him, and subjugated numerous villages with his newly acquired army. One day, Archie stumbled upon a powerful artifact known as the "Orb of Dominance", which granted him magic powers, but also corrupted him. While searching for a new home, he was forced to leave every village he found due to Villagers not allowing him to live with them. The opening cutscene tells the story of an Illager named Archie, who was driven away by his people. Unlike Minecraft, the game features a linear, story-driven campaign, and cutscenes. Minecraft Dungeons is set in the same fictional world as Minecraft, known as the "Overworld", consisting of rough 3D objects-mainly cubes and fluids, and commonly called "blocks"-representing various materials, and inhabited by both peaceful and hostile mobs. The game includes a four-player local and online multiplayer. There is no class system players can use any weapon or armor they wish. Players explore procedurally generated and hand crafted dungeons filled with randomly-generated monsters and also deal with traps, puzzles, bosses and finding treasure. Instead, it is a point-and-click hack and slash-styled dungeon crawler, rendered from an isometric perspective. Unlike Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons does not feature an open world nor mining or building.
