Minecraft: Story Mode extended with three extra episodes

Telltale has said that Minecraft: Story Mode will live on beyond its initial five episodes.

The narrative-based romp, which blends Telltale’s trademark gameplay with Microsoft’s popular brick-building crafting game, had initially been due to end after the release of the fifth episode – for which a release date of March 29th has now been confirmed.

However, three additional episodes have now been announced. The catch, however, is that the new content won’t be included in the current Season Pass.

Episode 5 won’t be the last you see of Jessie and the gang,” Mojang said. We can now confirm that three extra episodes will arrive some time in 2016. They’re not part of the existing season pass, but will be available for purchase to anyone who’s downloaded at least one episode of the first season.

We’re not going into detail about the content of those yet, but we can confirm that they’ll be great, and maybe come with a slightly different flavour to the previous season.”
