Minecraft: Story Mode

The movies of the 1980s taught us many things, but in particular there were two key takeaways. One is that montages are awesome and make even the most mundane things cool when set to the right music. The other is that there is no greater adventure than the one you embark upon with your closest friends. Taking inspiration from the golden age of teen cinema, where movies like The Goonies, Explorers and Stand By Me ruled, Minecraft Story Mode sends you on a grand adventure through the voxel-based world. While putting a story to Minecraft might seem counterintuitive to the core game's design, the team at Telltale has proven they can make a great story out of anything. And yes, that now includes Minecraft.

Telltale Games has finally revealed the release date of Minecraft: Story Mode's first episode, 'The Order of the Stone,' and the series' physical Season Pass disc.

The blocky, sandbox adventures of Minecraft: Story Mode will feature your own protagonist that you selected.
