Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two reappears on the Switch eShop with November 6 release date
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The release date for Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two on Switch appears to be final. After it was previously pulled months ago, the game has returned to the eShop with a November 6 release date. Other retailers have been listing the same day for the physical copy, so there shouldn’t be any further delays.
It was originally thought that Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two would be out on Switch back in August based on the original eShop listing. That didn’t happen though, and we were left wondering when it would eventually launch.
Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two still has its original listed price point of $39.99.
Thanks to Jes T for the tip.
