Minecraft: Story Mode gets a “World Premiere” Hollywood event

'Minecraft: Story Mode' Episode 1 - 'The Order of the Stone' Trailer

Do you like watching other people play video games? Do you like Minecraft? Do you want to be able to tell people that you’ve attended a Hollywood premiere? If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, then Telltale Games and Mojang have the event for you: the upcoming Minecraft: Story Mode will premiere in Hollywood ahead of the game’s release, and you can attend to participate in the “World’s Largest Let’s Play” event.

On October 12 at the ArcLight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, Minecraft: Story Mode will be given its “Redstone Carpet World Premiere,” an all-ages event that Telltale and Mojang are billing as the “World’s Largest Let’s Play.” Choices and actions in the game will be decided by the cheering crowd, so here’s hoping that in-person viewers are a little more democratic in their discussion than those on YouTube.

Telltale highlights the game’s voice cast in the announcement, as well, and it includes a solid mix of both traditional video game voice talent and film actors. Brian Posehn (Nerd Poker), Paul Reuben (Pee-wee’s Playhouse), Dave Fennoy (Telltale’s The Walking Dead), John Hodgman (The “PC” from those Apple commercials), and Ashley Johnson (The Last of Us) join Patton Oswalt and Catherine Taber in a quest that begins at “EnderCon” as the world starts tearing itself apart. While the Minecraft universe is still a weird choice for a story-focused adventure, the first episode’s trailer does give me confidence in the final product.

If you want to participate in Minecraft: Story Mode‘s premiere event, Telltale Games will be giving tickets away at no cost. As such, availability is extremely limited. Minecraft: Story Mode launches digitally on October 13 and at retail on October 27 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PC, and Mac. Wii U and mobile versions are also in development.

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like

An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
