Minecraft Story Mode Announced By Mojang And Telltale Games

Telltale games and Mojang last night announced Minecraft: Story Mode.

Minecraft: Story Mode will be an all-new narrative driven, episodic games series developed by Telltale, the minds behind episodic hits such as; The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us and the recently released Tales From the Borderlands and Game of Thrones.

"Partnering with Mojang is a dream come true for us as game makers and as storytellers, 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." said Kevin Bruner, President and Co-Founder of Telltale Games. 

Minecraft: Story Mode will be a standalone product, separate from the core Minecraft game, a decision made because, according to Owen Hill, Chief Word Officer at Mojang  "People really like the idea of stories about Minecraft, but forcing a narrative into our core game experience would restrict players' freedom to view the world in their own unique ways.

Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series is currently in development and will be available for download on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC, iOS and Android sometime in 2015.
