Telltale's last completed project, Minecraft: Story Mode for Netflix, is out now

Netflix's Minecraft: Story mode, an interactive TV reworking of Telltale Games' episodic Minecraft adventure, is now available to stream in full. It marks the last Telltale project to be completed in-house, prior to the studio's closure.

When Telltale announced that it had laid off the vast majority of staff earlier this year, it noted that "a small group of 25 employees [would be] staying on to fulfil the company's obligations to its board and partners." Netflix later confirmed that, while its Stranger Things project with Telltale was dead, Minecraft: Story Mode was "still moving forward as planned" at the studio.

That work is evidently complete, and, following the release of an initial batch of episodes last week, the full five-episode run of Minecraft: Story Mode is now available to Netflix subscribers. Netflix's version of Story Mode pares the game's first season back somewhat, focussing on key cinematic sequences and more binary choices compared to the originals.
