HOWEVER! Note that Yoshi only mentions that dungeons are "on the way" without specifically connecting them to 1.18.
Something to keep in mind just in case.
Something to add that it WILL come in 1.18 from the Battle Director:

Battle Content
Dungeons
Dungeons, the proving grounds for parties, will be released in 1.18. We will be implementing two types to begin with, with future updates to usher in additional maps and battle concepts.
This content takes the form of raid missions in which players slash and burn their way through a labyrinthine area before finally squaring off against a formidable final foe. Dungeons are intended to push teamwork to the limit, and players can expect a level of satisfaction (and spoils!) befitting the challenge.

To coincide with the addition of dungeons, a number of actions and skills will receive tweaks ahead of time, the details of which will be released at a later date.
