Minecraft: Story Mode is an upcoming episodic game series by Telltale Games. The protagonist is Jesse and the gameplay and atmosphere are going to be quite different from the original Minecraft. This game is not an add-on or DLC for the original game - it is standalone and being developed by a different company.

No
I just think it'll get rid of the mystery and story mode is for un creative people and Minecraft has no story mode to make people have their own story.

It's funny how they've worded it on their website. They claim that the player will have control over how the story plays out through the choices they make, which I thought sounded okay at first, but apparently that's what Telltale claims about all their recent games now!

What really happens is that, sometimes, you get a dialogue choice that slightly alters a bit of dialogue later in the game, but the story itself remains the same every time you play it. I was fine with this set-up back when Telltale made puzzle based adventure games (and I still love all their Monkey Island and Sam & Max games), although I don't think Minecraft warrants this kind of series anyhow.

But now, Telltale's games aren't even challenging; they're more like interactive movies. I respect that they want to reach out to a larger audience, but in doing so, they seem to have forgotten their original customers, and I'm skeptical that this Minecraft series will live up to any expectations its potential customers have!

So I'm kinda hoping people don't have many expectations for it!

So hard to think...
