Cloudy Climb, the first seasonal adventure coming to Minecraft Dungeons' seasonal adventures, announced back in October, will give the title an ongoing stream of new missions which can be repeatedly replayed once they launch.
While the original Minecraft is a survival sandbox title played from a first-person perspective, the spin-off Minecraft Dungeons is a top-down action RPG where players battle through both hand-made and procedurally-generated dungeons. Random assortments of enemies arrive to challenge players, and other obstacles such as puzzles and bosses create an even more challenging experience. Following its launch in May 2020, the block-based action title received four different pieces of post-launch content, with each one containing both free content and paid add-ons. Minecraft Dungeons' Echoing Void DLC served as the last traditional expansion for the game, but seasonal adventures will continue giving players new levels to slash through on a regular basis.
A new trailer for Minecraft Dungeons' first seasonal adventure, posted to the Minecraft YouTube , reveals the update's release date as December 14. The first seasonal adventure, titled Cloudy Climb, will task players with overcoming obstacles to climb a mysterious tower filled with exciting new rewards. Surviving skirmishes and venturing higher will grant players brand-new cosmetic items such as pets, emotes and flairs. Each floor of the cloudy tower looks to present hectic battles which should challenge even the most skilled dungeon crawlers.

The Minecraft franchise has been a massive success for developer Mojang, with the acclaim of the original block-based title leading to a number of spin-offs and crossovers with other media. While the relatively new Minecraft Dungeons is still being ed, its sandbox predecessor also continues to receive updates more than a decade after its original release. Minecraft's Caves & Cliffs Update: Part 2 releases on November 30, dramatically changing the way that the game's worlds are generated. Minecraft utilizes a terrain generation system to produce its randomly-generated worlds, but this system often results in different biomes clashing in strange ways. Caves & Cliffs: Part 2 will improve this terrain generation, creating more blended and immersive environments, while also adding features like more elaborate cave systems.
While the game's final DLC may have launched, Minecraft Dungeons is set to continue receiving a steady stream of new content. Seasonal adventures like Cloudy Climb will keep players engaged by frequently adding new challenges to overcome and new rewards to earn. The title's first piece of seasonal content looks to be quite substantial, with a massive tower to conquer one hectic arena at a time.
Minecraft Dungeons is available on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and PC.
