TellTale Games teams up Mojang to create new Minecraft game
The game is expected to arrive in 2015.

TellTale Games had been teasing players with their next “Big Idea” for quite a while now and now finally they have lifted the curtain over tjhis big secret to reveal that they are working on the new Minecraft game expected to arrive in 2015. This will be a new game created by Telltale in collaboration with Minecraft creator Mojang.

Like previous games from the developer, it will be an episodic release, with episodes spaced out by weeks or months. While this will feature a story, it is apparently not the official story for the main character of Minecraft, Steve. Also, it will not go into great detail explaining the world of Minecraft, most likely existing as a side adventure with little overall context within the greater world.
