Telltale’s ‘Minecraft: Story Mode’ Just Got This Swanky New Trailer!

Way back at the end of 2014 Telltale and Mojang announced a brand new partnership. Telltale would be putting their own creative spin on the Minecraft universe. Today we finally have a look at what we can expect with Minecraft: Story Mode.

Players will control protagonist Jesse throughout the season, as portrayed by actor Patton Oswalt. Jesse and his group of friends revere the legendary Order of the Stone; four adventurers who slayed an Ender Dragon. The Order are the very best at what they do: Warrior, Redstone Engineer, Griefer, and Architect. While at EnderCon, Jesse and his friends discover that something is wrong… something dreadful. Terror is unleashed, and they must set out on a journey to find The Order of the Stone if they are to save their world from oblivion.

 

The season will feature Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Ashley Johnson, Scott Porter, Martha Plimpton, Dave Fennoy, Corey Feldman, Billy West, and Paul Reubens. Additional casting details for the season are yet to be announced.

 

Though a bit on the cheesy side, I find the trailer to be endearing. Each of the characters obviously are embodying the different kinds of players you’d run into playing Minecraft online.

It will be very interesting to see what Telltale does with a property that is fairly thin with existing narrative.

Minecraft: Story Mode will be released sometime in 2015 on ALL platforms.
