Amazon.co.uk has put a provisional release date of 30 October 2015 on Telltale’s narrative adventure game Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Game Series.
Dates listed by retailers ahead of official publisher announcements aren’t always one hundred per cent reliable of course, but Mojang has previously stated that the game will be out before the end of the year. No PC version is listed, but it’s a safe bet to assume versions across all platforms will release simultaneously.
Set to follow the same episodic structure that Telltale normally employs, Minecraft: Story Mode stars Patton Oswalt, Corey Feldman, Ashley Johnson and Billy West.
“Players will control protagonist Jesse throughout the season,” says Telltale, ”as portrayed by actor Patton Oswalt. Jesse and his group of friends revere the legendary Order of the Stone; four adventurers who slayed an Ender Dragon. The Order is the very best at what they do: Warrior, Redstone Engineer, Griefer, and Architect. While at EnderCon, Jesse and his friends discover that something is wrong… something dreadful. Terror is unleashed, and they must set out on a journey to find The Order of the Stone if they are to save their world from oblivion.”
We’ll keep an eye out for any official announcement from Mojang or Telltale regarding the game’s release date.
