Mojang has announced the release date of Minecraft: Story Mode: Episode 5 on all available platforms. Episode five will be available to download on March 29 and will take you to the beautiful Sky City and looking back on previous episodes should cost you $5. They also announced that this won’t be the last you see of Jesse and the gang since they will be making three new episodes that will arrive this year. The new episode won’t be a part of the season pass but will be available to purchase to anyone that has downloaded at least one episode from the first season. They didn’t tell us anything about the upcoming episodes but they did say we should expect something a little different from the previous season.
I haven’t had the chance to play Minecraft: Story Mode yet but from what I have seen it looks like a lot of fun. We will probably just have to wait until the episodes are out to see what they mean by a slightly different flavor. What do you think? Do you think it could just be a bit darker than the original series or maybe something more?
