Minecraft: Story Mode episode one release date

Sooner than rumoured, episode one of Telltale's five-part Minecraft adventure game will launch digitally worldwide on October 13.

As in other Telltale series like The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, decisions made in each part will carry through to future episodes, though Story Mode is unlikely to be quite as harrowing. You play as Jesse, on a quest to find the legendary Order of the Stone to counter a threat that might just plunge the world into oblivion. Is it a giant creeper made of creepers? Here's hoping.
