Minecraft Story Mode: Episode 4 Out this Month

Minecraft: Story Mode's fourth episode, 'A Block and a Hard Place', will be released this month, developer Telltale Games has announced. 

In a Twitter tease, the studio said Episode 4 will "bring one story to a close" ahead of the release of the fifth and final episode next year. Details about the episode will be available "soon". 

Minecraft: Story Mode launched for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and mobile platforms in October, with later episodes being made available after 2-4 week gaps, much shorter than most Telltale games. 

Episode 3, 'The Last Place You Look', launched on November 23rd. The game is coming to PS Vita and Wii U in 2016.
