Telltale Games announced today that it’s working on a new video-game narrative-driven episodic series based on Mojang’s Minecraft game. The series will feature an original story, driven by player choice. It will not be an add-on for Minecraft, but rather a separate stand-alone product, and its first episode will be released in 2015.
As Telltale Games noted:
“Minecraft: Story Mode will mix new characters with familiar themes, in an entirely original Minecraft experience, inspired by the Minecraft community and the game that continues to inspire a generation.”
Here are the key features of Minecraft: Story Mode:
- 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.
Enjoy!

Minecraft has characters? o.O
Sigh think Telltale is just taking too many things on now, seriously what’s wrong with trying to license a sam and max season4?
ok. now it’s official: telltale has gone nuts.
Now telltale has 5 episodic games to develop over 2015. One or more is going to suffer because of this. I don’t agree minecraft being a good choice btw
So instead of something like Sam and Max, Aliens, or something that will really wow the fan base, they go for…. Minecraft. Seriously, as Hector said, telltale have gone nuts
Seriously Telltale ? Now you just become a sh**ty a*s developer. Quality > Quantity.
I’ve never expected something from Tale From Borderlands
at first I thought “how could anyone make a borderlands game focused on story ?
how could that even work ? with no gunfire and such”
but it was unexpectedly great
maybe this sounds nut
but I have faith in Telltale Game
LMAO! That’s bloody hilarious. On the other hand I am kind of curious cause I played minecraft years ago and loved it and and now to play a story driven game based on it.. Might get intresting.
