Telltale builds up Minecraft with second Story Mode season
Minecraft is all about building, so it should come as no surprise that Telltale plans to build on the success of its own Minecraft: Story Mode with a new five-part season beginning next month.
The new season sports the same blocky art style as before, with voice actors like Patton Oswalt, Catherine Taber, Ashley Johnson, and Scott Porter returning to reprise their key roles. While Season 2 picks up after the events of its predecessor, and decisions made the first time around will carry over here, there is no prior familiarity needed for newcomers to jump right in. And if you want to play socially, this game will also include Telltale's "Crowd Play" feature, which "allows friends and family to engage with the adventure together by helping to decide the direction of the story from any mobile device with an online connection."
The first episode, Hero in Residence, is already close at hand, with a digital launch date scheduled for July 11th on Windows, Mac, PS4, Xbox One, iOS and Android devices. A physical disc version is planned for later this fall.
