In other news, we’re collaborating with Telltale Games to create Minecraft: Story Mode! Here are some bullet points to celebrate!

  • Minecraft: Story mode will be a narrative-driven video game created by Telltale Games. It will be about Minecraft.
  • Mojang is collaborating with Telltale and members of the community to make Minecraft: Story Mode as Minecrafty as possible.
  • The first episode will be released some time in 2015, and will be available on Xbox consoles, PlayStation consoles, PC, Mac, iOS, and Android-based devices.
  • Minecraft: Story Mode will be released episodically, just like The Wolf Among Us, The Walking Dead, or the recent Tales from the Borderlands, which is another developer-collaboration series between Telltale Games and Gearbox Software.
  • We’re not intending on creating an “official” story for Steve, or explaining the world of Minecraft in detail. It will be a cool game.
  • The Minecraft 2 thing was a joke. No really. It was a joke.

I am… intrigued?

I can’t imagine they will be able to make it compelling with their current engine.

#4

Mojang’s or Telltale’s?

#5

Telltale’s. It’s not very interactive and they keep recycling the same QTE puzzles.

Excited to see a trailer

#7

That’s what I wanted out of Minecraft.

Will probably suck. I really wish Telltale would use a different engine, or people would stop using them until they improved their quality.

Wolf was good, man
