Telltale will release final episode in Minecraft: Story Mode series on September 13
All things must end… and that includes Minecraft: Story Mode, which Telltale expanded with three additional “Adventure Pass” stories this Summer. Today, the developer revealed that the series finale, Episode 8: A Journey’s End?, will be available to download for the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and mobile devices on September 13:
In Episode 8: A Journey’s End?, with Harper leading them to the world of the Old Builders, Jesse and crew finally have their chance to return home… but it won’t be easy, and the stakes are high. You’ll need to take on opponents in a series of gladiatorial games to win your freedom, save your friends, and maybe, just maybe, make it back to your own world!
Minecraft: Story Mode – Episode 8: A Journey’s End? will go out with a bang thanks to appearances from Jim Cummings (Darkwing Duck) and Kari Wahlgren (Rick and Morty).
The Walking Dead Season 3 gets a new name and a November launch date
Developers from Telltale Games have always said they never liked referring to the third game in their Walking Dead series as The Walking Dead Season 3. Today, during a PAX West panel hosted by the publisher, the game’s official title was finally revealed…
So say hello to The Walking Dead: A New Frontier.
“This third new season will serve as both a continuation of what’s come before in our story, as well as an all-new beginning set nearly four years after the outbreak events of Season One,” said Kevin Bruner, the CEO of Telltale Games. “As a harrowing and horrific drama, A New Frontier will explore beyond what it means to survive in a world ravaged by the undead, and will see our characters confronting the new rules of order and justice in a land being brutally reclaimed and rediscovered by what’s left of humanity itself.”
“When we began this series, we explored what it meant to protect a character like Clementine at all costs,” said Kevin Boyle, an Executive Producer on the Walking Dead series. “Years later, meeting her for the first time, Javier will begin to unravel the mystery of who Clementine has become, as her story intersects with his – both of them still driven by the things they value most long after society’s collapse.”
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier’s first episode will be available this November for consoles, mobile devices, and the PC. Like other recent Telltale titles, a Season Pass Disc will also be available that includes the first episodes and gives players downloadable access to each subsequent episode as they’re released.

Batman: The Telltale Series – Episode 2 will be released on September 20
Telltale Games has announced that the next episode in Batman: The Telltale Series, Children of Arkham, will be available to download for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One on September 20. The episode will be released for the PS3, Xbox 360, and mobile devices at a later date.
Story details from Episode 2 are still being kept under wraps, but it sounds like The Penguin might complicate Batman’s plan to take down Carmine Falcone:
An old friend becomes a new adversary as Bruce learns more about the Wayne family legacy and Batman escalates the fight against crime and corruption throughout Gotham.
PAX West attendees interested in learning more about the future of Batman: The Telltale Series should head out to a special Crowd Play event at the Wyvern Theatre on Saturday, September 3. Hosted by The Nerdist’s Dan Casey, a noted “Batman Expert,” fans will get the chance to see the worldwide debut of Episode 2: Children of Arkham before anyone else.

Justice Monsters Five, Final Fantasy XV’s pinball spinoff, is now available for mobile devices
Remember Final Fantasy XV‘s bizarre-looking pinball spinoff? Of course you do. Announced by Square Enix back in March, Justice Monsters Five is a free-to-play app that’s now available to download for iOS and Android devices:
Players join the Justice Monsters – Bomb Bro, Casanova Coeurl, Fab Flan, and Lamiana – in the struggle to save the Nova Galaxy from the diabolical Lord Vexxos. Using simple touch and flick controls, engage in exhilarating battles, unleash special attacks, and recruit and train new monsters to fight for justice and defeat the forces of evil.
Final Fantasy XV’s main character, Noctis, is a big fan of Justice Monsters Five, and any player who can’t tear themselves away from Square Enix’s next big RPG will also be able to try out the minigame by visiting any Crow’s Nest Diner in the game after its November 29th launch.
Justice Monsters Five will also be released for Windows 10 devices later this Fall.

The Witness will be released for the Xbox One on September 13
After being outed by the ESRB all the way back in January, Jonathan Blow has revealed The Witness is officially coming to the Xbox One. Speaking to IGN, the developer confirmed the game will make its Xbox One debut on September 13.
“There are some technical differences, but it’s basically the same game,” Blow told IGN, dismissing the idea of platform-exclusive content for The Witness.
“I feel like that would kind of… mess up the game,” he continued.
The Witness is also in development for iOS, but it might be a while before its released, as Blow said his team will need to fine-tune the entire game to make it work well with mobile devices.
