In a delightful reunion of two beloved realms, Minecraft and Dungeons & Dragons have once again intertwined their fates with the release of Dungeons & Dragons: A New Quest. This latest expansion, which became available on February 20, 2025, invites players to embark on a narrative-driven adventure through the iconic Forgotten Realms, all while enjoying the familiar blocky aesthetics of Minecraft. With an array of new gameplay mechanics, locations, magic items, monsters, and dialogue options, this expansion promises to enrich the gaming experience.
What is “Dungeons & Dragons: A New Quest” about?
Dungeons & Dragons: A New Quest serves as a sequel to the D&D DLC released in 2023, continuing the journey of protagonists Katra and Vaer. Their mission? To reclaim Vaer’s stolen soul and restore it to his body. Players will traverse legendary sites such as Candlekeep, the Sword Coast, and Icewind Dale, facing formidable foes like mind flayers, bugbears, and gelatinous cubes along the way.
At the heart of this expansion lies character progression, offering players the choice of four distinct classes: Barbarian, Rogue, Wizard, and Paladin. Each class boasts unique abilities and gameplay styles, ensuring a personalized experience. Additionally, players will encounter the Deck of Many Things, a powerful artifact that plays a significant role in Wizards of the Coast’s 2024 supplement, The Book of Many Things.
How Can You Play Dungeons & Dragons: A New Quest?
To dive into D&D: A New Quest, players can download the content from the Minecraft Marketplace. A copy of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition is required, along with the latest game update. The expansion is priced at approximately 1510 Minecoins, Minecraft’s in-game currency. For those without Minecoins, a 1600-pack can be purchased for around .99 USD.
As an added incentive, players who download the game before March 20, 2025, will receive a complimentary Dragon Mask character item, enhancing their adventure even further.
What Was the Previous D&D Minecraft Game?
This isn’t the first foray of Dungeons & Dragons into the Minecraft universe. The 2023 release of the Dungeons & Dragons DLC introduced a turn-based RPG system, classic D&D character classes, and an extensive campaign set in the Forgotten Realms. While A New Quest is a spiritual successor, familiarity with the previous DLC is not a prerequisite for enjoyment.
It’s important to note that A New Quest shifts away from the traditional turn-based mechanics of its predecessor, embracing a more action-oriented approach that emphasizes exploration and real-time combat.
