- With Kung Fu Panda 4 announced, this DLC arrives at the perfect time for fans of the franchise and the game.
Minecraft has released a new Kung Fu Panda DLC, bringing players content based on the popular DreamWorks franchise. Minecraft has a significant history of collaborations with famous pop culture names that got the blocky treatment. The DLC released by Mojang includes Minecraft collaborations with other games and names outside the gaming world.
Mojang released a variety of DLCs last year for Minecraft, adding content from Jurassic World, Dungeons and Dragons, and even turning players into characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender. But Minecraft's team-up list goes on, with the game having DLCs based on Star Wars, Minions, Mega Man X, and Sonic the Hedgehog. Even the Godzilla franchise wasn't left out of the beloved sandbox and got DLC earlier this year. Now, Minecraft is getting yet another crossover DLC, and the collaboration involves another fan-favorite name from the movies.
Minecraft has released a new DLC in collaboration with the Kung Fu Panda franchise that players can purchase for 1500 Minecoins (around $8). In this newest DLC, Minecraft players explore an adventure map and train with the charismatic protagonist Po, Master Shifu, Zhen, and the Furious Five. Minecraft players will train and climb the stairs of the Jade Palace, and attend the ancient dumpling-eating ceremony in Panda Village. The Kung Fu Panda DLC promises co-op action, combat reproducing scenes from the movies, and encounters with even more famous characters in Minecraft form.
Minecraft Team-Up with Kung Fu Panda in New DLC
Minecraft players explore the map of the Kung Fu Panda DLC to return ancient artifacts to the Hall of Warriors, but the task won't be easy. While players will have Po and his friends as allies, they will encounter the dangerous villain Lord Shen and other antagonists such as Tai Lung and General Kai. There will be no shortage of locations from the films in block versions, such as Mr. Ping's Noodle Shop, Peach Tree, Chameleon's Lair, Panda Village, and the Spirit Realm. Minecraft players can also pick up a free cosmetic item in the Dressing Room and equip the Dragon Warrior's Hat.
The addition of the Kung Fu Panda DLC expands Minecraft's already impressive library of official content at an ideal time for Po and his allies. Kung Fu Panda 4 was announced in 2022, and almost 10 years after Kung Fu Panda 3's debut, the sequel hit theaters this year with a new adventure for Po. This time, the brave warrior must face the Chameleon, a powerful sorceress who wants to conquer China by stealing Kung Fu from every master villain who came before her.

Minecraft is a game made up of blocks, creatures, and community. You can survive the night or build a work of art – the choice is all yours. But if the thought of exploring a vast new world all on your own feels overwhelming, then fear not!
Minecraft has no set goal and can be played however you’d like! This is why it’s sometimes called a “sandbox game” – there are lots of things for you to do, and lots of ways that you can play. If you like being creative, then you can use the blocks to build things from your imagination. If you’re feeling brave, you can explore the world and face daring challenges. Blocks can be broken, crafted, placed to reshape the landscape, or used to build fantastical creations.
Creatures can be battled or befriended, depending on how you play. The world of Minecraft allows for epic adventures, quiet meditations, and everything in between. You can even share your creations with other players, or play in community worlds!
