Telltale Announces Minecraft: Story Mode!
Telltale Games did the unexpected today…like, seriously unexpected. Telltale has teamed up with game developer Mojang to bring gamers Minecraft: Story Mode – a Telltale games series. What??
Set in the world of Minecraft, the game will use familiar themes but also feature an original story inspired by the Mojang’s hit title. Though I’m not a big fan of Minecraft, I’m interested in seeing what these two developers came up with. Is it going to offer up a compelling narrative full of twists and turns (with mature themes) or are we getting a family friendly, LEGO Movie styled plot?
“Partnering with Mojang is a dream come true for us as game makers and as storytellers,” said Kevin Bruner, President and Co-Founder of Telltale Games. “Minecraft is a world of infinite possibility and imagination. Working with the Mojang team on our own unique, story-driven interpretation of their fascinating universe is a tremendous honor. We simply cannot wait for fans across the world to take off with us on this new adventure.”
Minecraft: Story Mode will be a standalone product, separate from the core game. It’s scheduled to be released sometime in 2015 on Xbox 360/One, PS3/4, PC, Mac, iOS and Android based devices. We’ll be sure to follow its development like we do all of Telltale’s games!
