Minecraft LIVE is back, and Mojang is promising big reveals for the world’s best-selling video game. The show airs today, Saturday, September 26, at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm UK, and it comes at a moment when the sandbox franchise is heading toward the end of 2026 and whatever follows.
Mojang has confirmed the event will include “game drops, behind-the-scenes secrets, awesome guests, and more exciting stuff to come.” That’s the official promise. What the company hasn’t confirmed yet is exactly what those drops and secrets will be.
The Minecraft Dungeons 2 Debut
One thing is already on the board: Minecraft Dungeons 2 will appear during the stream. The dungeon crawler sequel is out on September 29, and its presence at the event is no surprise.
The official trailer has already started raising questions about what else might be on the horizon. Players are watching closely for any sign of a major update to the End dimension.
The Trailer Clues
The trailer includes a brief appearance of the Eye of Ender, a craftable item used to locate strongholds and activate end portals. It also shows a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it look at the Enderman.
Together, these two clues have ramped up excitement among fans who have spent years waiting for an End update. The End dimension has not received a real gameplay overhaul since version 1.9 was released in 2016.
“Game drops, behind-the-scenes secrets, awesome guests, and more exciting stuff to come.”
Why the End Matters
The End is the final frontier for most Minecraft players. It’s been largely unchanged for over a decade.
An update to the End would be a megaton for Minecraft. Fans have been waiting for years for new content in that dimension, and any news of a revamp would likely be a major event for the community.
The trailer’s inclusion of the Eye of Ender and the Enderman suggests Mojang is thinking about the End. Whether that thinking translates into actual gameplay changes is still unknown.
What Players Are Expecting
The official trailer has gotten fans wondering if an End update is coming. The Eye of Ender is a key item for accessing the End, and its appearance in the trailer has made players hopeful.
Beyond that, the trailer’s other clues are subtle. The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it look at the Enderman adds to the sense that something End-related could be announced.
The Schedule for Today
| Time | Event |
|---|---|
| 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm UK | Minecraft LIVE begins |
Minecraft LIVE lasts between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on how many updates Mojang has to share. The stream will be available to watch live, and the full recap will be posted after the event ends.
What We Know So Far
The confirmed reveal is Minecraft Dungeons 2 appearing during the stream. Beyond that, the rest is speculation. The trailer’s clues point to the End, but they are not definitive proof.
Mojang has a history of surprising players, and the company has promised “more exciting stuff to come.” That could mean anything from a new skin to a major gameplay overhaul.
Check back here for live updates and all the news as it happens. The End may finally be getting the attention it deserves.
How the End Update Would Land
The last major overhaul to the End came with version 1.9 in 2016. Since then, players have had to make do with the same stronghold-finding mechanics and portal activation process that shipped with that update.
A new End update would break that pattern. Given how long players have waited, even small changes could feel significant.
The trailer’s focus on the Eye of Ender and the Enderman suggests Mojang is thinking about the End, but the company has not confirmed anything concrete yet. The clues are suggestive, not definitive.
The Official Promise
Mojang’s official statement is short but broad. The company promises “game drops, behind-the-scenes secrets, awesome guests, and more exciting stuff to come.”
That leaves plenty of room for interpretation. A game drop could be a new skin or a new map. Behind-the-scenes secrets could be development footage or design notes. Awesome guests could be streamers, influencers, or even surprise celebrity appearances.
The phrase “more exciting stuff to come” is particularly open-ended. It could refer to future updates, upcoming projects, or entirely new initiatives from Mojang.
What Happens Next
The stream starts at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm UK. After that, the recap will be posted with all the details from the event.
Until then, the only certainty is what Mojang has confirmed: Minecraft Dungeons 2 will appear during the stream, and the End is clearly on the minds of both the developers and the fans.
The wait is nearly over.
