Minecraft: Story Mode will be delisted
Both seasons will be discontinued on June 25, 2019.
Minecraft has confirmed Minecraft: Story Mode – A Telltale Games Series Season 1 and 2 will be delisted on June 25, 2019.
In a post on the official Minecraft website, Mojang said that as the publisher, Telltale Games, was no longer in business Minecraft: Story Mode could no longer be supported.
The changes affect not just future purchases, but also the availability of the game for players who have already purchased the game but do not have the game downloaded and installed on their systems.
“On behalf of the publisher, Minecraft: Story Mode – A Telltale Games Series, Season 1 and 2 will no longer be supported on June 25th, 2019. If you have purchased these seasons, please download all remaining episodes prior to the service being discontinued in June,” the statement said.
“So if you own either season of Minecraft: Story Mode on Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Android, or iOS, you have until June 25th, 2019 to download the episodes. We’d recommend checking you have all the episodes downloaded!”
The news comes just weeks after GOG also removed remaining Telltale Games titles such as Tales from the Borderlands, The Wolf Among Us, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, the Batman, Sam & Max and Puzzle Agent series, Hector: Badge of Carnage, and Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People from its digital storefront.
“We are working to get Tales from the Borderlands back up on digital storefronts as soon as possible,” a spokesperson for the publisher said at the time. “All prior digital purchases of the game will of course still be honoured and supported.”
Several of Telltale’s older series were removed from Steam after the company went into liquidation in November 2018, including licensed titles like Jurassic Park: The Game and Back to the Future: The Game.
