For quite some time now Telltale Games has been pretty confident about announcing their episodic release dates at least a week or two beforehand but back when they started these type of releases they had an odd habit of releasing a new episode with no fanfare. Well, it looks like they are going back to their old ways a bit as the second episode of Minecraft: Story Mode, Assembly Required, was released today with barely any announcement until shortly after users found the game available for download.
Considering the “season pass disc” retail edition released today it probably was done so that those who picked up that version would find at least two episodes to play at the start. Either way, this fast turnaround on episodes is a pleasant surprise and you can find out the launch trailer for Assembly Required below.
