Excitement is mounting within the gaming community as whispers and leaks regarding Minecraft Dungeons 2 begin to circulate. Originally launched by Mojang, the dungeon crawler Minecraft Dungeons captured the hearts of many players but ceased receiving updates in 2023. However, the recent buzz suggests that a sequel may be on the horizon.
The Latest Insights on Minecraft Dungeons 2 Leaks
Upcoming Minecraft Spin-Off Game, Spring 2026 by u/Successful-Meat-5632 in LeaksAndRumors
The intrigue surrounding Minecraft Dungeons 2 intensified earlier this year when a Reddit user revealed what is claimed to be Mojang’s project roadmap spanning the next three years. Among various projects, including a potential Netflix series, an interesting logo for Spicewood emerged, which is speculated to be a spinoff of Minecraft Dungeons, scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2026.
This leaked roadmap showcased Spicewood’s logo in the familiar game font adorned with a distinctive orange hue. Keen fans discovered a sequence of letters in the illager font situated above the logo and decoded it to reveal the phrase “vertical slice”.
In the gaming industry, a “vertical slice”represents a playable prototype of a game, offering a snippet of gameplay that highlights its core systems and mechanics. This terminology indicates that Mojang might be laying the groundwork for significant new developments.
While some skeptics suggested the imagery of Spicewood could be computer-generated, many argued that the precision involved in crafting the illager text was unlikely to be achieved by AI.
Furthermore, the codename Spicewood has consistently appeared in discussions by prominent leakers and data miners, such as Roger Badgerman and John, who have referenced Minecraft Spicewood either directly or indirectly. This mounting evidence has fueled a deeper investigation into the potential of the spinoff’s existence.

Adding to the intrigue, u/Successful-Meat-5632 uncovered a job listing from a year ago, highlighting Mojang Studios’ search for a Technical Lead to address challenges connected to implementing new features in the Minecraft Dungeons universe. This role hints that the studio has been actively recruiting talent to advance the development of this new title.
Recently, a new wave of leaks surfaced from the data-mining group XOX_LEAK, asserting that Project Spicewood is indeed a sequel to Minecraft Dungeons. These leaks appear to validate the previously discussed roadmap, reinforcing the idea that Spicewood could very well be a codename for this much-anticipated follow-up.
According to the leaked information, development on this spinoff has likely been underway for two years—coinciding with the cessation of support for the original game. The leaked data also hints at new regions and points of interest that could be included in Spicewood.

While Mojang has yet to officially announce anything, the consistency and volume of the leaks provide compelling narrative threads that elevate Spicewood from mere speculation to a credible possibility. With exciting glimpses of an active portal and the warden, a sequel could illuminate the enigmas surrounding the ancient cities within the game.
