Mojang confirm season 2 of Minecraft Story Mode

In a move that won’t surprise anyone at all, Mojang has confirmed that Minecraft: Story Mode will get a second season. A follow-up to Telltale Games’ episodic Minecraft adventure was pretty much guaranteed when it got a rating from the Australian classification board. The Minecraft developer has announced that this will be a five-episode season and the first episode, called Hero in Residence, will launch on 11th July. Here’s the official description –

As a simple treasure hunt goes wrong, trapping Jesse’s hand in a cursed prismarine gauntlet, we discover that maybe there are other downsides to fame, too – like having a dark and ancient power know your name.

A new adventure beckons, sending Jesse on a quest to the darkest depths of the world – and beyond! Joined by a motley band of familiar faces, fortune hunters, sometime enemies and one deeply disobedient llama, there will be tough choices, peril aplenty and no shortage of People Who Will Remember That.
