Mojang announces that
Minecraft: Story Mode Episode 1 is due on
October 13th, and the debut chapter of the adventure game will be titled "The
Order of The Stone." They point the way to the
Telltale Community for more:
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.
We’ve been working closely with the people at Mojang to ensure that Minecraft:
Story Mode absolutely feels like a part of the world that Minecraft players
already know and love, with a cinematic story and trademark Telltale
choice-based gameplay. We know how important customization is to the creative
minds who play Minecraft, so we’ve paid special attention to implementing that
in Minecraft: Story Mode too. This is the first Telltale game where YOU get to
choose the appearance of the player character. Not only do you get to play as
either a male or female version of Jesse, you’ll also be able to select from 3
different looks for each.
