‘Minecraft: Story Mode’ Will Premiere In October!

Briefly: It’s still pretty weird (and exciting) to me that Minecraft: Story Mode is even a thing, and after what feels like years of waiting (okay, it’s been a couple of months) Telltale has finally revealed just when  we’ll be able to play the first chapter of the anticipated title.

The first of the game’s five episodes is called ‘The Order of the Stone’, and it’s set to (digitally) hit PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC, and OS X on October 13th. iOS and Android devices will get the episode on October 15th, and the game is also headed to Vita and even Wii U at a later date.

Minecraft: Story Mode, interestingly enough, is even getting a retail edition. The physical version will include only the premiere episode on the disc, and be available for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC on October 27th in North America, and October 30th in Europe.

In Minecraft: Story Mode, playing as either a male or female hero named ‘Jesse,’ you’ll embark on a perilous adventure across the Overworld, through the Nether, to the End, and beyond. You and your friends revere the legendary Order of the Stone: Warrior, Redstone Engineer, Griefer, and Architect; slayers of the Ender Dragon. While at EnderCon in hopes of meeting Gabriel the Warrior, Jesse’s friends discover that something is wrong… something dreadful. Terror is unleashed, and you must set out on a quest to find The Order of the Stone if you are to save your world from oblivion.

The season will feature Patton Oswalt as male Jesse, Catherine Taber as female Jesse, Brian Posehn, Ashley Johnson, Scott Porter, Martha Plimpton, Dave Fennoy, Corey Feldman, Billy West, and Paul Reubens. Additional casting details for the season are yet to be announced.

As expected, Telltale notes that Minecraft: Story Mode is an adventure for all ages, so expect some tough choices, but nothing The Walking Dead level.
