Minecraft Dungeons 2 Capes: Every Cape and How to Get It

Quick answer: five Minecraft Dungeons II capes have been announced as of September 27, 2026 — Hero Cape, Twisted Cape, Soul Cape, Corrupted Creeper Cape and Special Cape. Three are straightforward: play the first game, pre-order, or buy the Deluxe Edition. One comes from promotional codes, and the fifth has not been revealed yet. Of the five, only the Hero Cape and the Twisted Cape are confirmed to carry over into Minecraft Java and Bedrock.

Capes are cosmetic items worn on the hero's back, equipped from the Capes section of the cosmetics tab in the inventory. They do not change stats, and each one unlocks per Microsoft account rather than per device.

All Five Capes at a Glance

The table combines the official promo page with the wiki's cape list. Deadlines are absolute dates because two of them expire before or shortly after launch.

A reading note: pre-ordering does not unlock every cape on this list. Only the Twisted Cape rides along with a pre-order, and the deadline for that is September 28, 2026 — one day before the game launches at 08:00 UTC on September 29. The rest of the pre-order package, two hero skins and the Twisted chicken pet, is on the pre order bonus page. The underlying five-cape record is the wiki cape list.

Hero Cape: Play the First Game, Same Account

The Hero Cape is the reward for franchise veterans. The official instructions are three steps: play Minecraft Dungeons I, then log into Minecraft Dungeons II before December 31, 2026, then log into Minecraft Java and/or Bedrock Edition so the cape unlocks there too.

The account requirement is the part people miss. All three games must see the same Microsoft account, whether you play on your own machine or in a friend's couch co-op session, because the cape flag lives on the account rather than the install. Play the first game on one account and launch the sequel on another and nothing happens.

The December 31, 2026 cutoff is the only hard date attached to this cape. It is generous compared with the pre-order window, but it is still a cutoff: after that date the login that pairs the two games stops being a way to earn the cape. The first game's hero roster and the sequel's returning characters are covered on the heroes list page.

Twisted Cape: The Pre-Order Cape

The Twisted Cape is the pre-order cosmetic, announced alongside the Steve and Alex hero skins and the Twisted chicken pet. Pre-order any edition before launch, then after Minecraft Dungeons II releases, log into your Microsoft account in the game and confirm the pre-order items, then log into Java or Bedrock on the same account to pick the cape up there as well.

The deadline is September 28, 2026 — the day before launch. Pre-order on September 29 and the bonus is gone; there is no catch-up window published for it. Digital and physical pre-orders both qualify, with physical buyers redeeming their package code through their platform storefront first: xbox.com/redeem on Xbox, ec.nintendo.com/redeem on Nintendo, or the Redeem Code option under the profile menu on store.playstation.com.

Of the two account-bound capes, this is the one with a near-term expiry, which is why it gets its own deadline reminder in every guide on this site. The edition comparison for Standard at $29.99 versus Deluxe at $49.99 is on the editions page.

Soul Cape and the Special Cape

The Soul Cape has the simplest acquisition rule on the list: buy the Deluxe Edition at $49.99, with the bundle recorded in the wiki Deluxe Edition entry. It ships with the Blub pet, four hero skin variants of Valorie, Kellen, Flores and Ren, and both planned DLC packs, so the cape is one item inside a bundle rather than a standalone purchase. There is no deadline attached, because it is edition content instead of a timed promotion.

Whether the Soul Cape reaches Minecraft Java and Bedrock is not yet confirmed. The official page names only the Hero Cape and the Twisted Cape as coming to Minecraft, so any claim that the Soul Cape transfers over is inference, not policy. Deluxe contents in full are on the editions page.

The Special Cape is the blank slot. It appears in the official lineup with no acquisition method attached — the promo page tells readers to stay tuned for more information, and the wiki lists it as yet to be revealed. No date, no channel, no requirements are published, and nothing about it should be presented as known until Mojang says more.

Corrupted Creeper Cape and the Sync Rules

The fourth cape runs on promotional codes instead of purchases. Three channels issued them: physical cards at the Xbox booth during gamescom 2026 (August 26–30), a one million code Gleam survey announced at the Tokyo Game Show on September 17, and a Twitch and TikTok watch quest that ran from September 21 until 06:59 UTC on September 27, 2026. Codes redeem inside the game once it launches on September 29, 2026, and every code expires on December 31, 2027.

There is no shared code to hunt for — each code is personal and single-use, which is why this site publishes routes and windows instead of code strings. The full breakdown of the three channels, including what is still open, is on the corrupted creeper cape page, and the distribution timeline sits in the wiki cape entry.

One more rule applies to every cape on this list: the same Microsoft account must be used across Dungeons I, Dungeons II, Java and Bedrock. Cosmetics sync per account, so a shared family console with separate logins will split the collection between profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many capes are in Minecraft Dungeons 2?

Five are announced: Hero, Twisted, Soul, Corrupted Creeper and Special. Four have published acquisition methods; the Special Cape is still unrevealed.

Which capes carry over to Minecraft Java and Bedrock?

The Hero Cape and the Twisted Cape, both confirmed on the official promo page. Transfer rules for the Soul Cape, Corrupted Creeper Cape and Special Cape are not yet confirmed.

What is the deadline for the Twisted Cape?

Pre-order before September 28, 2026. The game launches the next day at 08:00 UTC on September 29, and no catch-up window has been published.

Do I need the same Microsoft account for every cape?

Yes. Cape unlocks follow the account across Minecraft Dungeons I, Dungeons II, Java and Bedrock, so all four must be signed in as the same profile.

No. It comes from promotional codes handed out at gamescom 2026, through a Gleam survey, or via a Twitch and TikTok watch quest that ended at 06:59 UTC on September 27, 2026.

Which capes can I still get on September 27, 2026?

Hero Cape (log in by December 31, 2026), Soul Cape (buy the Deluxe Edition), any Corrupted Creeper Cape codes you already hold (redeem by December 31, 2027), and the Twisted Cape if you pre-order before September 28, 2026.
