Minecraft narrative adventure set for 2015 release, joint production by Telltale and Mojang
Minecraft: Story Mode, an episodic adventure series set in the blocky world of Minecraft, is a joint venture between Mojang and Telltale Games. The series, which first launched on October 13, 2015, offers a unique blend of narrative-driven gameplay, exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat.
The story follows Jesse, a young adventurer, and his friends as they embark on a quest to save the world from the destructive Wither Storm. Along the way, they encounter the legendary Order of the Stone, a group of heroes who have previously saved the world from similar threats.
The first episode, "The Order of the Stone," was released for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and mobile devices. Subsequent episodes followed at regular intervals, with the series continuing into a second season, Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two, which began in June 2017.
One of the standout features of Minecraft: Story Mode is its player-driven narrative. Player choices affect the story's outcomes, much like other Telltale Games such as The Wolf Among Us and Game of Thrones.
Minecraft: Story Mode is a standalone product separate from the game already installed on various platforms. Players can sign up to the Mojang website for weekly newsletter updates to stay informed about the series' progress.
Mojang is careful to ensure that Minecraft: Story Mode maintains the essence of Minecraft throughout its development. The narrative, while original, features familiar themes and elements that Minecraft fans will appreciate.
In addition, Mojang has developed an Info Quest II browser game to provide additional details about Minecraft: Story Mode. This game offers a fun and interactive way for fans to learn more about the series.
It's worth noting that Microsoft now owns Mojang, the creators of Minecraft. Despite this, Minecraft: Story Mode remains an independent narrative offshoot, not an official story for the Minecraft universe.
In a recent announcement, Netflix and Mojang Studios revealed plans for a new animated Minecraft series. However, this series is separate from Minecraft: Story Mode, which continues to be a collaboration between Telltale Games and Mojang.
For those interested in Minecraft: Story Mode, the series is a must-play for fans of adventure, exploration, and the Minecraft universe. With its engaging narrative, player-driven choices, and Minecraft-inspired gameplay, it offers a unique and immersive experience.
