Minecraft Story Mode Wraps Up In 2016, But Your Next Episode Lands This Month
Telltale has been delivering Minecraft Story Mode episodes on one of its quickest paces yet. We’ve been getting new installments every month, and that isn’t going to stop.
The fourth episode, “A Block and a Hard Place,” will be along this month. A specific release date hasn’t yet been announced.
The final episode, which seems to be called "Order Up!" will arrive in early 2016. Our fingers are crossed that ends up being January.
Notably, Telltale says that the episode out this month will wrap up one story. This leaves us curious about how the experience will be rounded out in 2016's finale.
For more on Minecraft Story Mode, check out our reviews of the first three episodes:
- Episode 1 - The Order of the Stone
- Episode 2 - Assembly Required
- Episode 3 - The Last Place You Look

Our Take
I was skeptical about how Minecraft would work in the Telltale framework. I’m a fan of the studio, but this project flexes impressive creative muscles reinvigorating my love for the format.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
