Minecraft Dungeons for PlayStation 4 is an action-adventure dungeon crawler developed by Mojang Studios and Double Eleven, and published by Xbox Game Studios. Inspired by classic hack-and-slash games, it is set in the Minecraft universe but focuses entirely on combat, exploration, and loot collection rather than building. Players embark on a quest to defeat the evil Arch-Illager, battling through procedurally generated levels filled with enemies, traps, and treasures. The game supports both solo play and cooperative multiplayer for up to four players, locally or online. The Ultimate Edition includes the base game and all six DLC expansions.
