Speaking on the approach that Telltale will be taking with "Minecraft: Story Mode," Job Stauffer of Telltale Games said, as quoted by The Guardian, "We make adventure games based on the things that we love the most, where there are really passionate fanbases that we're a part of. We want to make games for those fans, and us."

Explaining a bit more about what fans can expect, "Our games are kinda like playable television as a matter of fact. As we make them we're always looking at what the fans are saying, and what the reaction is. And sometimes we can tweak and adjust certain things about the games as we go along." He adds that the game is coming very soon and "at least the first episode you will play this year," he teased.

The game will be available to download soon for PC, Mac, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, compatible iOS devices, and Android.
