In other news, we’re collaborating with Telltale Games to create Minecraft: Story Mode! Here are some bullet points to celebrate!

+ Minecraft: Story mode will be a narrative-driven video game created by Telltale Games. It will be about Minecraft.
+ Mojang is collaborating with Telltale and members of the community to make Minecraft: Story Mode as Minecrafty as possible.
+ The first episode will be released some time in 2015, and will be available 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.
+ 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 Minecraft 2 thing was a joke. No really. It was a joke.

As 2014 comes to a close, we are delighted to confirm our partnership with Mojang to create a new episodic game series based on one of the most popular video games in history - Minecraft.

Minecraft: Story Mode will be an all-new narrative-driven game series developed by Telltale in collaboration with Mojang. Set in the world of Minecraft, the series will feature an original story, driven by player choice. It will not be an add-on for Minecraft, but rather a separate stand-alone product that will premiere in 2015 on consoles, computers and mobile devices.

Telltale's game series will mix new characters with familiar themes, in an entirely original Minecraft experience, inspired by the Minecraft community and the game that continues to inspire a generation.

This is it.

This is it.

This is that inceptiony ****.

See. This is the prime example of what sets the cinematic/ story-driven craze from the video game/ simulation and immersion stuff. We now have an.... experience, that is being inspired by the subject of what has already made a perfect, full-fleshed video game experience. So they are two separate things.

This is interesting and weird.

It would be weird if you didn't have the freedom of traditional minecraft. But I'm sensing it might be quite different. Considering it being a storymode.

Well yes.

It's almost like. Breaching ARTPOP-iness in it's level of inception.

But this is almost exactly what the Tomb Raider reboot is to some fans. They've taken Lara Croft and the concept of Tomb Raiding as it was (somewhat) in the Tomb Raider games, and have created what is basically a spin-off game about the game.

Why is this called "Story Mode" if its a separated game instead of a new note for the existing one? And I wonder why this comes out for all platforms since Microsoft now owns Mohjang and could make it Xbox exclusive.

Minecraft own Mohjang, but they don't own the Minecraft IP. This is developed by Telltale, so multiplat is fine.

It is strange though. MS own's Mojang, who own the IP to Minecraft. After purchasing them what's Mojang's MS should then own. Maybe this started development before the acquisition and therefore it was part of a contract and had to be honoured.
