The Wii U is set to get a Minecraft game. But not as you’d expect.

Minecraft: Story Mode is being developed by Telltale Games, in partnership with Mojang.

The game will put players in the shoes of an in-universe character named Jesse, voiced by Patton Oswalt. Jesse and his friends are tasked to track down the Order of the Stone, a group who’ve defeated the powerful Ender Dragon.

In addition to Wii U, Minecraft: Story Mode will also be released on Windows PC, Mac, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The episodic series will debut this year.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
