New Minecraft game a Telltale, Mojang collaboration

Newsbrief: Telltale Games has landed yet another partnership with a major property -- this time with Mojang's Minecraft. Dubbed Minecraft: Story Mode, the game will get the Telltale episodic adventure game treatment seen in narrative-driven games such as The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands. Mojang, which was recently purchased by Microsoft for $2.5 billion, said it is collaborating with Telltale and community members in order "to make Minecraft: Story Mode as Minecrafty as possible." The game is slated for sometime next year for PlayStation and Xbox consoles (Mojang did not specify which generation), PC, Mac, iOS, and Android.
