The launch trailer for the fifth episode of Minecraft: Story Mode has been released by Telltale Games, alongside the episodic adventure’s next chapter, giving prospective buyers their first look at some of the characters they’ll meet in Jesse’s next big adventure.
Last week, we learned the first season of Minecraft: Story Mode will be much longer than we’ve come to expect from Telltale’s episodic games. In addition to the five episodes we already knew to expect, the studio revealed plans to release three additional episodes of Minecraft: Story Mode. The newly-revealed chapters will continue a story arc introduced in episode five, ‘Order Up,’ and are expected to debut before the end of 2016. And now we have some idea of the trouble Jesse & Co. will be digging their way out of in the second half of the season.
This week’s Minecraft: Story Mode trailer introduces Sky City, the first of what will likely be several new destinations visited during the latter half of season one. Unfortunately, building is outlawed in this new land, which creates something of a problem for the Order of the Stone. It’s not quite the world-threatening menace we saw in the Wither Storm, but Jesse and his friends will need to save the city from one of several new Minecraft: Story Mode characters introduced in episode five.
In addition to the new trailer, Telltale Games also announced the upcoming release of a Minecraft: Story Mode skin pack for the console, mobile and Windows 10 versions of Minecraft. There’s no word on exactly when the new content will be released; however, the studio says fans can expect more information on the upcoming skin pack “in the coming weeks.”
To get some idea of what the next four episodes of Minecraft: Story Mode have in store for fans, take a couple of minutes to check out the new launch trailer for the series’ fifth episode.
