GeekWire: New version of Minecraft unveiled for Microsoft’s Windows 10

The game follows everday hero Jesse and his friends as they get roped into an adventure that will see them searching for the legendary Order of the Stone and trying to prevent the destruction of the world. While attending an EnderCon, however, this unlikely foursome led by a man named Jesse will have to go from hero worshippers to heroes themselves when they discover that “something is wrong… something awful”. Besides the aforementioned Oswalt, the season will also call upon Ashley Johnson, Scott Porter, Brian Posehn, Corey Feldman, Billy West, Dave Fennoy, Paul Reubens, and Martha Plimpton to lend their pipes to the title. I’m not really sure why PC players would actually want that, considering the core version of Minecraft has been way more functional for years now, but again… it’s hard to parse out the full details from this initial announcement. The size of the crowd was relly impressive during the opening. In addition to Telltale unveiling the first trailer for Minecraft: Story Mode, Mojang has pulled the curtain back on the Windows 10 version of Minecraft, simply titled Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition.

The story will take place in five instalments, taking place across the entire Minecraft world from the Nether, the Farlands, the End, and beyond. It’s a standalone game, and won’t require Minecraft to play. Not every version of Minecraft is exactly the same, but they all feature two distinct game modes – Creative and Survival – that cater to different types of players.

According to Owen Hill, Chief Word Officer at Mojang, “The interactive storytellers at Telltale are giving players the chance to explore their own unique interpretation of the Minecraft universe”.

Game Description- Accompanying the trailer, the game is described as, “Minecraft: Story Mode is an adventure game, by Telltale Games, set in a Minecraft world”.

The game, whose developer Mojang was bought by Microsoft previous year for $2.5-billion (U.S.), has done more than any other to influence the way the youngest computer users play and communicate online.
