No shared Corrupted Creeper Cape code exists. Claim it through a gamescom card, the Gleam survey or Twitch drops, then redeem in-game from September 29.
Corrupted Creeper Cape Code: Three Routes and Their Deadlines
Quick answer: there is no shared Minecraft Dungeons II cape code floating around the internet. Every Corrupted Creeper Cape code is a single-use personal code issued through one of three official channels — a physical card handed out at gamescom 2026, an online Gleam survey, or a Twitch and TikTok watch quest. The watch quest closed at 06:59 UTC on September 27, 2026, the survey route is the only one that might still hand out codes, and every code that exists must be redeemed by December 31, 2027.
The cape itself becomes redeemable inside the game on September 29, 2026, the day Dungeons II launches at 08:00 UTC. Before that date there is nowhere in the game to type a code, which is the single most confusing part of this promotion.
Three Routes to the Corrupted Creeper Cape
All three channels are documented on the official promo page and in the wiki's cape history. Only one of them is still inside its announced window as of September 27, 2026.
| Route | Window | Status on September 27, 2026 | Where the code goes |
|---|---|---|---|
| gamescom 2026 physical card | August 26–30, 2026, Koelnmesse Hall 7 | Ended; cards may still be in attendee hands | Redeemed in Dungeons II in-game |
| Gleam online survey | One million codes announced September 17, 2026; restored September 22, 2026 at 17:00 UTC | Routes reopened, remaining stock not yet confirmed | Redeemed in Dungeons II in-game |
| Twitch and TikTok watch quest | September 21, 12:00 PM PST – September 26, 11:59 PM PST | Ended at 06:59 UTC on September 27, 2026 | Redeemed in Dungeons II in-game |
Note what the table does not contain: a code string. The full cape roster this belongs to, including the four other announced capes, is on the all capes page, and the underlying record for all five capes is the wiki cape list.

Route 1: The gamescom 2026 Physical Card
The cape was first distributed in person at gamescom 2026, held at Koelnmesse from August 26 to August 30, 2026. Physical cards were handed out at the Xbox booth in Hall 7, and two card designs exist: one shows Kellen wielding a war hammer, the other shows Valorie holding a sword. Both designs put the character in the cape, and the back of every card carries the personal redemption code plus a QR link to pre-order and legal information.
The cards stopped being handed out when the show closed on August 30, 2026. Codes from those cards are still valid — they do not expire until December 31, 2027 — so a card bought, traded or found after the event still works, provided nobody has redeemed it yet.
The wiki entry for the cape is the record for card designs and distribution dates: wiki Corrupted Creeper Cape entry.
Route 2: The Gleam Survey
Online distribution was announced during the Tokyo Game Show on September 17, 2026, run through a Gleam giveaway with one million digital codes attached. The first batch ran out the same day, before the day ended. Distribution came back on September 22, 2026 at 17:00 UTC, though a number of users could not claim a code for several hours that day while the page recovered.
Whether codes are still being handed out right now is not yet confirmed — the survey page is the only place that shows live stock, and it has already emptied once. The link itself is distributed through Mojang's own channels rather than mirrored here, because mirrored Gleam links are the usual home for expired or fabricated codes.
If the survey route is closed by the time you read this, the practical takeaway is unchanged: one million codes were created for that campaign, each one is personal and single-use, and codes obtained months ago still work until the December 31, 2027 expiry.
Gleam giveaways for this cape emptied once within hours of opening. If a link fails, the cause is exhausted stock or a revoked campaign, not a wrong code. Recheck the official promo page before assuming the promotion itself is dead.
Route 3: The Twitch and TikTok Watch Quests
The third channel was a watchtime quest, run on both platforms in the same window. Twitch required watching any live stream in the Minecraft category for at least 15 minutes; TikTok required at least 3 minutes on a Game Rewards-enabled stream. Completing either quest dropped the code into your Twitch inventory or TikTok notifications, where it waited for you to enter it in the game.
The official window was September 21, 12:00 PM PST through September 26, 11:59 PM PST. In UTC that ran from 20:00 on September 21 to 06:59 on September 27, 2026 — the quest is closed as of that timestamp, and watching streams now will not generate a new code.
Two details tripped people up during the window. The code had to be collected from the platform's own reward shelf before the shelf cleared, and redemption happens inside Dungeons II, not on minecraft.net. A code sitting unclaimed in a Twitch inventory is not lost, but it is also not redeemed: enter it in-game once the game is available.
The launch date that opens the in-game redemption box is confirmed in the official date announcement and converted for every major timezone on the release time page.
How to Redeem the Code in Dungeons II
Dungeons II launches on September 29, 2026 at 08:00 UTC, and the cape becomes redeemable in-game from that moment. Wiki history lists the cape as upcoming until launch, which means the correct pre-launch answer to "where do I type the code" is: inside the game, once you own it. There is no pre-launch redemption page for this cape.
Two deadlines run in opposite directions. Codes must be redeemed by December 31, 2027, so nobody is racing a near-term expiry; the deadline people actually have to watch is September 28, 2026, the last day to pre-order and collect the separate Twisted Cape. The Corrupted Creeper Cape is a standalone promotion and does not come with a pre-order — that distinction is spelled out on the pre order bonus page, and the edition-by-edition breakdown of what bundles which cosmetic is on the editions page.
Platform storefronts have their own redemption entries, but those are for physical pre-order game codes rather than cape codes:
- Xbox:
xbox.com/redeem - Nintendo:
ec.nintendo.com/redeem - PlayStation:
store.playstation.com, then profile icon, then Redeem Code
A cape code entered at any of those three doors will not work, and a physical game code typed into the in-game cape box will not work either. Match the code to the counter it came from.
Every code for this promotion is single-use and bound to the first account that redeems it. Any site posting a shared code string is showing something recycled, revoked or invented. What is worth publishing is the channel, the window and the expiry: three routes, one of them closed at 06:59 UTC on September 27, 2026, all codes dead after December 31, 2027.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a Corrupted Creeper Cape code I can use right now?
Not one that anyone can share. Codes are issued individually through gamescom cards, the Gleam survey or the Twitch and TikTok quest, and each works once. The watch quest ended at 06:59 UTC on September 27, 2026; in-game redemption opens on September 29, 2026.
When did the Twitch and TikTok cape drop end?
At 11:59 PM PST on September 26, 2026, which is 06:59 UTC on September 27, 2026. The quest required 15 minutes of Twitch viewing or 3 minutes on a Game Rewards-enabled TikTok stream.
Where do I enter a Corrupted Creeper Cape code?
Inside Minecraft Dungeons II itself, once the game launches on September 29, 2026. The official instructions say to redeem in-game rather than on minecraft.net.
When do Corrupted Creeper Cape codes expire?
December 31, 2027. Every code for the promotion, from any of the three routes, must be redeemed by that date.
Does the pre-order include the Corrupted Creeper Cape?
No. Pre-ordering before September 28, 2026 grants the Twisted Cape, two hero skins and the Twisted chicken pet. The Corrupted Creeper Cape is a separate promotion with its own channels.
