If you’re looking for something to do this holiday weekend, it seems that Telltale was successful in sliding Minecraft: Story Mode’s (Free) under the slowly closing door that is the impending iTunes freeze today. The latest episode is available on every platform, which really is a feat in multi-format game launching. Back in the day Telltale stuff would slowly drizzle out over the course of a couple days, now it’s down to a few hours.
Anyway, here’s what you can expect in episode 4, straight from Telltale: “In Episode Four, with the fearsome Wither Storm more dangerous than ever, Jesse, Reuben, and the crew discover there is one thing that can destroy the command block at the heart of the monster – but they’ll need to brave the perils of the Farlands to find it. As uneasy allies and ailing friends threaten to tear the group apart, can they defeat the Wither Storm in their final battle? And what sacrifices must be made to succeed?"
The fifth episode is coming next year, when next year they’re not being too specific on yet, but, I’d guess sometime late January. That’s what my gut is telling me, anyway.
