Telltale Games has just recently confirmed that they will be releasing the latest installment to the Minecraft series, which is Minecraft: Story Mode Episode 4. It will be launched digitally worldwide on December 22, 2015, and will also be available for season pass disc owners through an online update.
According to Telltale Games, the fourth episode "A Block and a Hard Place" will end the story of the Wither Storm. The fifth episode of the game will be released in early 2016, reported IGN. The game developer hasn't revealed much yet about the new episode so as to prevent spoilers for both Minecraft 4 and 5.
Meanwhile, it was only last year when it was announced that Telltale Games will be working with Mojang in coming up with a new version of the game, one which is different from the earlier episodes. It was finally released earlier this year for Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Windows PC, Android, Mac and iOS.
Minecraft: Story Mode Episode 4 doesn't play like Minecraft, which is centered on survival. Episode 4 is actually a point-and-click game, noted Investor Place. Minecraft never really had a story before but Telltale Games changed that already.
So far, the story of the series has progressed well. Minecraft: Story Mode Episode 4 was set to be launched three months after the first episode of the series was released, recalled Ubergizmo.
In Minecraft: Story Mode Episode 4, players will get to control protagonist Jesse portrayed by actor Patton Oswalt. Jesse and his friends follow the legendary Order of the Stone, and they will go on an adventure to find the Order and save the world from Oblivion.
A Block and a Hard Place will be available on various platforms starting Tuesday, December 22, on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Windows PC, Mac, and iOS and Android devices.
