Minecraft: Story Mode’s Fifth Episode Coming on March 29th, Three More Announced

In more than a few ways it felt like Minecraft: Story Mode‘s fourth episode served as a proper ending to the season and in a way it might actually be the case. Not only did it see the end of the core story arc, it also was the end of the rapid release schedule that Telltale was taking with the series. Now three months after the fourth episode was released, Telltale Games has announced that the fifth episode will be arriving on March 29th.

Although Minecraft: Story Mode was originally slated for five episodes, it seems that Episode 5: ‘Order Up’ will be serving as the jumping point for three more episodes that will be released in 2016 as this fifth episode will serve as a way to bridge the gap between the Wither Storm arc and one that will follow the New Order of the Stone through brand new adventures.

Back in December Sega announced that they would be bringing Yakuza 0 to the West and today the company has narrowed down something of a release window. The company has announced that they will be bringing Yakuza 0 to North America and Europe in early 2017 and it will be available both physically and digitally as a PlayStation 4 exclusive as the PlayStation 3 version is not being localized.

In an interesting fashion, Sega has specifically stated that they are the only company working on bringing Yakuza 0 to the West rather than involving PlayStation. With Yakuza 0, players get to step into the sartorially immaculate shoes of Kiryu and Majima *before* they became the Dragon and the Mad Dog respectively. As such, players will find out just how bad things can become for a foot soldier in the Yakuza.

Last week we learned that the next trailer for the upcoming Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope’s Peak Academy anime would be debuting on March 26th and thanks to this early issue of Weekly Famitsu we also have some new details about what to expect as far as the characters go.

The two small images reveal that twelve new characters, all belonging to Future Foundation, will be debuting in the anime series while the other image shows that Makoto Naekgi, Kyoko Kirigiri, Aoi Asahina, and Yasuhiro Hagakure will also be returning as their slightly older selves.

The issue asks the question of how these twelve new characters are related to Naegi and the rest of the group and we will likely learn more when the new trailer for Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope’s Peak Academy debuts in four days.

Offworld Industries released the latest build for their realistic FPS Squad today. The update focuses on quality of life improvements and balancing issues.

The optics have been tweaked a little to provide more realistic magnification and give some variety to different kits by tweaking the time to target acquisition compared to iron sights. The effect of jumping on stamina has also been tweaked. The cost of the first jump has been lowered substantially, but the penalty has risen on successive jumps to discourage bunny hopping.

Offworld Industries expanded two maps today and will be releasing an expansion to a third map later in the week. The final two maps will see an expansion in the v6.0 alpha. Two more maps are in the pipeline and the developers hope to provide an update in the near future. Additionally, the map UI has also seen some updates to improve performance and the artwork for maps. Offworld Industries plans on releasing a full blown UI and art upgrade in the near future.

Finally, an official server licensing scheme has been implemented. These servers are expected to have an active administration team, strong server hardware, run vanilla Squad game rules, and foster a positive teamwork oriented community.

Produced by Ufotable, Tales of Zestiria the X will likely cover most, if not all, of the story presented in the JRPG that was released last year in the West for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.

This marks the second full anime series for the Tales franchise and although little is known about how the series will be presented but we have been given the tagline: “The journey of the Shepherd transcends Zestiria.”

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

The adventures of Jesse and the NEW Order of the Stone are set to continue this month! In the first episode since the Wither Storm finale, Minecraft: Story Mode

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.
