Happy Dungeons was a free-to-play online dungeon crawler game released on the Xbox One on December 6th, 2016. Later on, September 12th, 2017, the game was released for the PlayStation 4. Happy Dungeons was shut down around June 12th, 2019, or June 17th, 2019^[1](uncertainties in the game's shutdown date). It was the sequel of Happy Wars, which was released on October 12th, 2012, as the first free-to-play Xbox Live Arcade game for the Xbox 360, but the game was shut down for the Xbox 360 on December 17, 2018. The game involved the player (who would use three classes, the Warrior, Cleric, and the Mage) beating bosses in dungeons, and the player would meet characters in every chapter. The game was announced by Toylogic at E3 2015, suggesting the existence of an E3 build.

Announcement

During E3 2015, Toylogic announced a sequel to the popular game Happy Wars, dubbed Happy Dungeons. When the game was announced, returning players from Happy Wars were given free items in Happy Dungeons.^[2] But, an E3 build existed. Nothing much was known about the build because it was available during E3. The build could be seen in Xbox cabinets during the event.
