Telltale Games and Mojang Release Premiere Episode of Minecraft: Story Mode

Telltale Games and Mojang recently released the first episode of Minecraft: Story Mode – A Telltale Games Series .

. The first of five episodes, titled “The Order of the Stone,” is available digitally on PC and Mac through Steamand the Telltale Online Store.

In this new point-and-click adventure game, players take on the role of Jesse, a male or female hero depending on their selection (voiced by either Patton Oswalt or Catherine Taber, respectively). Trouble soon arises, and players must set out on a quest to find The Order of the Stone if they are to be successful in saving the world from certain destruction. Similar to previous Telltale releases, the outcome of Minecraft: Story Mode is shaped by a variety of player choices, resulting in a branching narrative.

PlayStation 4 and PS3 customers can download the episode through the PlayStation Network, while Xbox One and Xbox 360 players can find it on the Xbox Games Store. Users of compatible iOS and Android devices can purchase the episode starting October 15. The title is also planned for Wii U and PlayStation Vita releases at a later date.

Physical copies of the game will be released in North America on Tuesday, October 27 and in Europe on Friday, October 30. The discs will feature the premiere episode of the series, as well as access to downloads of all future episodes as they become available. The first episode is rated Everyone 10+ due to mild language and fantasy violence, while the remaining four episodes have yet to be rated by the ESRB (though they are expected to receive a similar rating). Additional information can be found on Facebook, Twitter, and Telltale Games’ official website.
