"Minecraft Story Mode" episode 5 will soon land on several gaming platforms including Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, Mac, and PC. The game will also come to the mobile platform, with both iOS and Android devices considered.
The developer of the game, Owen Hill of Mojang proclaimed on the Swedish video game's official website that episode 5 will be available for download on March 29. The episode will feature a unique land called Sky City. Players will witness while Jessy explores this new location along with his friends, which the creator has described as "Intriguing" and "awe-inspiring."
"Episode 5 will not be the last you see of Jessie and the gang," Hill wrote. "We can now confirm that three extra episodes will arrive some time in 2016."
More details about the new episode dubbed "Order Up" are slightly scarce since the developers want gamers to play and discover the title by themselves. It is, however, known that "Lord of the Rings" star Sean Astin will be joining the voice cast.
"Minecraft Story Mode" was released in October 2015. It has its roots on the sandbox video game "Minecraft," which features episodic adventures with a point-and-click story gameplay. The whole work is credited to the collaboration of Telltale Games and Mojang AB.
The current episodes of "Minecraft Story Mode" include episode 1 "The Order of the Stone," episode 2 "Assembly Required," episode 3 "The Last Place You Took" and episode 4 "A Block and a Hard Place." Initially, the plans were to cover up to episode 5, but news have emerged claiming otherwise.
According to Engadget, three more seasons are on the way. They will be much different and unique, however, because they will feature new content that has not been included in the current Season Pass.
Players can go ahead and purchase "Minecraft Story Mode" episode 6, 7 and, 8 as long as they have downloaded at least one of the older episodes. The content of these episodes has not been revealed yet, but Mojang claims that it will be great, and will come with a different flavor.
