Everything we know so far about Minecraft Dungeons 2 leaks

Upcoming Minecraft Spin-Off Game, Spring 2026 byu/Successful-Meat-5632 inLeaksAndRumors

The dive down the rabbit hole surrounding the Minecraft Dungeons 2 leaks began earlier this year when a Reddit user posted the allegedly leaked Mojang roadmap for the next three years. Among other things like a proposed Netflix series and new game drops, users noticed the logo for Spicewood — an alleged Dungeons spinoff that was set for a second-quarter release in 2026.

The leaked Minecraft roadmap had the logo for Spicewood in the game's signature font and a unique orange color. However, hawk-eyed fans spotted a string of letters in the illager font from Dungeons right above the logo. Players who decoded it further pointed out that the text translates to "vertical slice".

Vertical slice is a popular corporate term in the game development industry, referring to a working prototype for a proposed game. It is essentially a small, self-contained chunk or demo of the game that allows stakeholders and investors to play it and experience all of the major systems and mechanics.

While some users had suggested that the image for Spicewood could be AI-generated, many others opined that AI would not be able to generate and write the illager text so accurately.

Additionally, Spicewood has been a consistent codename hinted at by many legacy leakers and data miners such as Roger Badgerman and John, who have mentioned Minecraft Spicewood through direct namedrops or indirect references. This prompted users to go on a deep dive, which uncovered more information that could allegedly support the existence of the spinoff.

Comment byu/Successful-Meat-5632 from discussion inLeaksAndRumors

u/Successful-Meat-5632 found a job listing from a year ago that was looking to hire a gameplay Tech Lead at Mojang Studios. They highlighted the job description, which stated the following:

"Mojang is looking for a Tech Lead to take on the challenges around implementing features for the universe of Minecraft Dungeons"

This could suggest that the game studio was looking for developers to work on the game that is reportedly based on Dungeons, but the trail ran cold. However, the first week of March drove players further down the rabbit hole when major Minecraft Dungeons 2 leaks seemed to surface on the Internet.

The latest Minecraft Dungeons 2 leaks by data mining collective XOX_LEAK claim that Project Spicewood is set to be a sequel to Minecraft Dungeons. This recent string of leaks seems to support the previously leaked roadmap, all but suggesting that Spicewood was a codename for a sequel to the spinoff.

Based on information obtained from the leaks and mined data, the spinoff seems to have been in development for at least two years, right around the time Dungeons stopped receiving support. Additional data also suggested possible new areas and POIs that could be coming with Spicewood.

Here are all the locations that might make it to the sequel based on the Minecraft Dungeons 2 leaks:

Honeycomb Fields

• Undermill
• Farm
• Island
• Lake
• Fields
• Forest

Desert

• Cliff
• Fortress
• Mountain
• Village
• Icelagoon

Forest

• Deep Dark Entrance
• Outpost Entrance
• Witchzone
• Shady Forest
• Town

Additionally, the Minecraft Dungeons 2 leaks reportedly depict in-game screenshots of the Minecraft Dungeons spinoff. The mined data also suggests that the internal release timeline could be the second quarter of 2026, aligning with the date mentioned in the previously leaked roadmap. With over 25 million players playing the first game, a sequel could well be on the cards.

Although there is no official confirmation from the developers, a spate of similar leaks and mined data hint at the possibility of the sequel being more than just a rumor. Based on the leaked image, which depicted an active portal and the warden, Minecraft Dungeons 2 could finally shed light on the mystery of the ancient cities in the game.

However, players will have to wait and see if the beloved dungeon crawler gets a much-needed revival in 2026 and if the leaked roadmap holds true. With Minecraft Live set for March 22, 2025, players are hoping for the developers to shed some light on the rumor mill of Minecraft Dungeons 2 leaks.
