Releasing December 22
It’s almost bizarre to think that the first episode of Minecraft: Story Mode was out less than two months ago, and here we are gearing up for the fourth in the series. Episode Four, A Block and a Hard Place releases on PC on December 22, with other platforms following suit over the course of that week. This has easily been the fastest pace for Telltale since going in on the whole episodic content thing.
A Block and a Hard Place promises the climactic battle between the protagonists and the Wither Storm. It’s a little strange, considering there is still a fifth episode to get to (scheduled for “early 2016”). If the big bad of this season is defeated now, what does that leave for the end? Telltale is being coy with that information, saying it will become more clear soon enough.
My guess? Telltale has another multi-season deal for Minecraft like it does for Game of Thrones, and the last episode of this will feature some denouement for the heroes, but will also lead into the next season.
