More On: Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series

If you go to a video game retailer right now you could probably find a copy of Minecraft: Story Mode for just about any game system that it's been released on, but it's a "Season Pass" disc where you get the first episode as well as the ability to download the next few.  What if you don't have a great internet connection, or none at all?  What if you don't have much hard drive space left on your system?  Honestly I can't see either of these becoming an actual issue in this day and age but my segue skills aren't really up to par right now.  Anyway, Minecraft: Story Mode - The Complete Adventure is hitting retail shelves this month.

The game will contain all eight episodes in the season in one disc.  This includes the first five episodes from the original season pass as well as the next three episodes from the Adventure Pass add-on.  Minecraft: Story Mode - The Complete Adventure will hit the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC on October 25th for $29.99 with a PlayStation 3 version coming in the near future.  No word on a Wii U version though.
