Well, this is intriguing. Telltale is taking on Minecraft. We don’t have much information on the project just yet, but we do know it will have the episodic style we’ve all come to expect from Telltale, and it will be stand-alone, not an add-on for the current Minecraft. Majong has this to say about the project:
Minecraft: Story Mode will be an all-new narrative-driven game series developed by Telltale in collaboration with Mojang. Set in the world of Minecraft, the series will feature an original story, driven by player choice. It will not be an add-on for Minecraft, but rather a separate stand-alone product that will premiere in 2015 on consoles, computers and mobile devices.
Telltale's game series will mix new characters with familiar themes, in an entirely original Minecraft experience, inspired by the Minecraft community and the game that continues to inspire a generation.
