Minecraft news » Minecraft: Story Mode on the Horizon

The first episode of Minecraft: Story Mode is almost here! It’ll be available to download on October 13th which is less than two weeks away! Watch the trailer up there for a sneak peak of the action.

Minecraft: Story Mode is an episodic game series from Telltale Games. You play as Jesse who (in a first from the studio) can be a male or female hero, and embark on an exciting adventure to save the world while learning about a group of legends known as The Order of the Stone.

Telltale’s games are more about story and characters than building and crafting, but the world of Story Mode will be familiar to anyone who’s played Minecraft. We’ve been working closely with our buddies at Telltale to make things as authentic as possible so, whether you’re a veteran crafter or a casual builder, Story Mode will warm the cockles of your hearts.

Yes indeed, the cockles.

Minecraft: Story Mode will be available to download on PC, Mac, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Android, and iOS devices. You’ll also be able to get it on disc at the end of October if you prefer. That version comes with the first episode, and will grant access to the other four as they become available.
