Telltale announced release date for the fifth episode in Minecraft Story Mode and also declares that it won’t be the last one, as the series expands with three more episodes coming this year.
Minecraft: Story Mode Episode 5 titled ‘Order Up’ will be available starting March 29th on PC/Mac, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and iOS and Android-based devices.
And, as said, they also announces the elongation of the series with three all-new episodes. As Episode Five will bridge the gap between the Wither Storm story arc, these upcoming new episodes will continue as post-season episodes set to release in the coming months of 2016.
These continuing Adventures of the New Order of the Stone will follow the additional escapades of Jesse the group as they explore new and unfamiliar worlds beyond their own. All three of these episodes will be add-ons to the season, so players will need to own at least the first episode of Minecraft: Story Mode in order to purchase and play these three chapters in the series which will include episodes 6, 7, and 8.
In the upcoming Episode 5, on a tip from Ivor, Jesse and friends head to an abandoned temple holding mysterious treasures. Ambushed by former Ocelot Aiden and his crew, Jesse and friends find themselves in an entirely new world: Sky City. As they explore, the Order finds that resources are at a premium, and nothing but ‘The Void’ exists below the known world.
The cast of Minecraft: Story Mode also expands as Jesse, played by Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille) or Catherine Taber (Star Wars Rebels), join Ivor,.played by Paul Reubens (Pee-wee’s Big Holiday) and the gang on a trip to the skies. They’ll meet a growing cast that includes Sean Astin (The Goonies, The Lord of the Rings) as Reginald, the loyal Captain of the Guard, Jim Meskimen (Parks and Recreation) as the rebellious Milo, and Melissa Hutchison (The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series) as the Founder of Sky City.
