Minecraft has always focused on the creative, open nature of the game's world rather than try to craft any kind of story-based single-player mode, but today Mojang has announced a deal with Telltale Games that will lead an episodic game called Minecraft: Story Mode. The content will launch next year on "Xbox consoles, PlayStation consoles, PC, Mac, iOS, and Android-based devices."

"Minecraft: Story Mode will be released episodically, just like The Wolf Among Us, The Walking Dead or the recent Tales from the Borderlands, which is another developer-collaboration series between Telltale Games and Gearbox Software," the official blog post stated.

"We’re not intending on creating an 'official' story for Steve, or explaining the world of Minecraft in detail. It will be a cool game."

The game is being made with Telltale and "members of the community," although we don't quite know what that means yet.

So it's like an official adventure map?

No it'll be an episodic adventure game like Game of Thrones/Tales from the Borderlands/Walking Dead/The Wolf Among Us I would imagine.

But it's just gonna be a map made by an official dev at the end of the day (at least that's what it seems like).

Cool either way though.

It won't have normal gameplay though, it will be Telltale adventure mechanics.
