In other news, we’re collaborating with Telltale Games to create Minecraft: Story Mode! Here are some bullet points to celebrate!

+ Minecraft: Story mode will be a narrative-driven video game created by Telltale Games. It will be about Minecraft.
+ Mojang is collaborating with Telltale and members of the community to make Minecraft: Story Mode as Minecrafty as possible.
+ The first episode will be released some time in 2015, and will be available on Xbox consoles, PlayStation consoles, PC, Mac, iOS, and Android-based devices.
+ Minecraft: Story Mode will be released episodically, just like The Wolf Among Us, The Walking Dead, or the recent Tales from the Borderlands, which is another developer-collaboration series between Telltale Games and Gearbox Software.
+ We’re not intending on creating an “official” story for Steve, or explaining the world of Minecraft in detail. It will be a cool game.
+ The Minecraft 2 thing was a joke. No really. It was a joke.

More info from Telltale's Website:

As 2014 comes to a close, we are delighted to confirm our partnership with Mojang to create a new episodic game series based on one of the most popular video games in history - Minecraft.

Minecraft: Story Mode will be an all-new narrative-driven game series developed by Telltale in collaboration with Mojang. Set in the world of Minecraft, the series will feature an original story, driven by player choice. It will not be an add-on for Minecraft, but rather a separate stand-alone product that will premiere in 2015 on consoles, computers and mobile devices.

Telltale's game series will mix new characters with familiar themes, in an entirely original Minecraft experience, inspired by the Minecraft community and the game that continues to inspire a generation.

On Visual Direction:

They're made an exception for Telltale to use their assets +

"This thing won't look exactly like Minecraft, but it will feel authentic in its own special way. Keep crafters won't be disappointed."

About writing:

"It'll be written and developed by the uber-brains at Telltale, but the Mojangstas and some community members will also have input. GOTY 2015? Possibly."

Why is this happening:

"We've come to realize there's a massive demand for fiction set in the Minecraft Universe. People love engaging with the world, whether they're building, adventuring, or role-playing an awesome creeper slayer. The tricky part is working out how to explore a story without diluting Minecraft itself. A Telltale game set within the world is one way to delve deeper without laying down official lore. It's one interpretation of the world and its logic!"

That kinda seems to miss the point of the original game, but then again, let's see what they'll come up with, might be interesting.
