Just in time for Halloween, a new update for Minecraft Dungeons is now available, bringing a limited time Spooky Fall event, new threat levels with Apocalypse Plus, along with new bug fixes and performance updates. From now until November 3rd, Minecraft Dungeons will be hosting time-limited Seasonal Trials with new challenges and rewards. The epic rewards for surviving these trials will get you exclusive gear and weapons for your character to show off to your friends, including the Haunted Bow, Sinister Sword, and more devilish weapons await.

In addition, the new Apocalypse Plus difficulty level is here, bringing twenty increasingly challenging levels for you to beat. Apocalypse Plus does not add anything new to Minecraft Dungeons, but it does add a new dimension of difficulty for those looking for an extra challenge. There is also changes made to Balance and Blacksmith, as well as game fixes and performance updates made across the board.

This new update also brings about a known issue where unequipping items in your inventory without swapping the item for another item causes some game issues. This will be addressed in a future update. For those looking for Halloween ideas, download these Minecraft-inspired stencils for pumpkins and Halloween masks today!
