Tower Dungeon by Tsutomu NiheiI was trying to get together some other new posts, but those are slow going so here is something that has been rattling around in my brain- how much recent media there is that is based in a dungeon. I listed a chunk of it in the Why Megadungeons post, but at the risk of repeating myself, I did want to separate it out into its own thing. I also tried to limit the media to roughly the last ~10 years. I think benchmarking the last decade also helps illustrate how much new popular media there is that will be most people's first contact with the genre.Worth noting that none of these give a 1:1 experience of playing an RPG dungeon, of course, but most include scenes which match common elements in good pen & paper dungeons.Anything missing?Appendix N(ew Dungeon Crawl)Video GamesHollow Knight (2017)Dead Cells (2018)Minecraft Dungeons (2020)Hades (2020)Hollow Knight: Silk Song (2025)Marathon (2026)Movies, TV, & AnimationDungeon Meshi (2024, manga…
