‘Minecraft: Story Mode’ Returns for Episode Five on March 29th with Three More Adventures Continuing in 2016

Episode 5 – ‘Order Up’ will be available starting March 29th on PC/Mac, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and iOS and Android-based devices.

Today we can also reveal that ‘Order Up!’ won’t be the last players see of Jesse, as Episode Five will bridge the gap between the Wither Storm story arc, and three all-new adventures that will continue as post-season episodes set to release in the coming months of 2016.

These continuing Adventures of the New Order of the Stone will follow the additional escapades of Jesse the group as they explore new and unfamiliar worlds beyond their own. All three of these episodes will be add-ons to the season, so players will need to own at least the first episode of Minecraft: Story Mode in order to purchase and play these three chapters in the series which will include episodes 6, 7, and 8.

In the upcoming Episode 5, on a tip from Ivor, Jesse and friends head to an abandoned temple holding mysterious treasures. Ambushed by former Ocelot Aiden and his crew, our heroes find themselves in an entirely new world: Sky City! As they explore, the Order finds that resources are at a premium, and nothing but ‘The Void’ exists below the known world. When Aiden convinces Sky City’s ruler that the New Order of the Stone are up to no good, you’ll need to make some tough choices to clear your name, and keep Aiden from destroying an innocent world.

The cast of Minecraft: Story Mode also continues to expand as Jesse, played by Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille) or Catherine Taber (Star Wars Rebels), join Ivor, played by Paul Reubens (Pee-wee’s Big Holiday) and the gang on a trip to the skies. They’ll meet a growing cast that includes   Sean Astin (The Goonies, The Lord of the Rings) as Reginald, the loyal Captain of the Guard, Jim Meskimen (Parks and Recreation) as the rebellious Milo, and Melissa Hutchison (The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series) as the Founder of Sky City.

Minecraft: Story Mode – A Telltale Games Series – Episode 5: ‘Order Up!’  is rated ‘E10+’ (Everyone 10+) for Fantasy Violence by the ESRB. Future content in the season is yet to be rated by the ESRB. The series is published by Telltale Games in partnership with Mojang.

LONDON, March 22 2016: Square Enix Collective™ has announced the line-up of games it will be featuring at its first full event – EGX Rezzed, one of the UK’s premier public videogame events.

Collective will be bringing five games to the show, including two announced titles and three previously unannounced titles, giving gamers the chance to see the start of a growing portfolio of new industry talent being supported by the initiative.

The games line-up will be as follows:

Goetia / Sushee (France): announced in October 2015, releasing in Q2 2016

Abigail’s parents and sister are missing, and the air is filled with anxiety and anger. Who is living here now? What happened to everyone? Why has Abigail come back from the dead? And what is this Goetia that seems to be the key to understanding all this nonsense?

Goetia is a deep, point-and-click adventure for PC set in the seemingly abandoned Blackwood Manor and surrounding area in the early 1940s – can you unpick the mystery and find the answers?

The Turing Test / Bulkhead Interactive (UK): announced in March 2016, releasing in August 2016

You play the role of Ava Turing, an engineer for the International Space Agency (ISA), as she attempts to uncover the truth behind the research base on Jupiter’s moon, Europa, in this first-person puzzle game built with Unreal 4.

Solve puzzles using your Energy Manipulation Tool (EMT) to transfer power out of one object and into another; power up and take control of artificially intelligent machines, manipulate giant structures and solve complex tasks – all woven into a multi-layered story based on the human struggle for control.

The Turing Test will be published for PC by Collective; and for Xbox One by Microsoft.

Tokyo Dark / Cherrymochi (Japan): previously unannounced, releasing in Q4, 2016

Detective Itō’s partner is missing, but what starts as a straightforward case soon spirals into a twisted nightmare that causes Itō to confront her past and question her own sanity.

Tokyo Dark is a side-scrolling point-and-click mystery adventure game for PC and Mac. As Detective Itō you’ll explore Tokyo – following leads, collecting clues, and making difficult decisions with far-reaching consequences.

Tokyo Dark features a huge number of dialogue choices and interactions that affect character attributes and change the outcome of the story.

Black The Fall / Sand Sailor Studio (Romania): previously unannounced, releasing in Q3 2016

Discover a forgotten industrial world where strict and rules and harsh punishments tore the fabric of humanity itself. What will you do to survive?
Black The Fall is a side-scrolling action adventure for PC and digital consoles set in a dark and oppressive land, inspired by the Sand Sailor team’s upbringing in Communist Romania. Solve puzzles to progress, all the while attempting to avoid suspicion and alerting the intent… and unfriendly… gaze of the State.

Oh My Godheads / Titutech (Spain): previously unannounced, releasing in Q1, 2017

Oh My Godheads is the world’s first capture-the-head action game on PC for 1-4 players.

Capture-the-head is like capture-the-flag, but the flag is an ancient head that’s alive, angry, and after you! Fight with friends to capture these furious, living heads and bring them back to your team’s plinth…if you can.

“We’re really proud to be able to show more of our 2016/7 line-up with the games we’re bringing to EGX Rezzed,” said Phil Elliott, creator and project lead on Square Enix Collective. “It’s fantastic to be supporting teams we’ve either helped via the Collective feedback platform or through crowdfunding – but also to meet teams new to us who are just looking to partner for publishing and marketing services.”
