Game Informer has put up a preview of Minecraft: Story Mode based on a hands-on demo of the game. We’ve rounded up the various tidbits in the summary below.

– Fist time Minecraft has received an official cohesive story arc
– Jesse stars in the first episode
– Jesse: a reluctant hero who can take on one of six different looks across different skin tones and genders depending on what the player wants
– Track Jesse’s pet pig Reuben in the first scene
– Guide him along the pig tracks
– Search a large area
– When you reunite with Reuben, a group of creepers, zombies, and spiders close in on the location
– Jesse uses his wooden sword and begins defending Reuben
– The zombies approach first
– Action sequence begins where you press press a button when they get close enough
– Jesse’s wooden sword shatters after defeating a few enemies
– Jesse’s friend Petra swoops in and saves the two
– In the next scene, Petra and Jesse discuss the wither skull she procured
– She claims to have arranged to trade it to someone at the upcoming EnderCon in exchange for a diamond
– From there, the scene demonstrates Story Mode’s take on crafting
– Jesse builds a stone sword from two cobblestones and a stick
– You’re given the ingredients here, but you arrange them in the correct way on the crafting table
– The story flashes ahead again
– Something terrible has happened at the EnderCon, and the entire attendee-base is fleeing in horror
– A giant, three-headed beast emerges from the venue and floats toward the crowd
– A beam comes from the beast
– This pulls in anything and anyone in its way
– During the demo, you can only run from it
– Jesse and his friends see their window to escape and take it
– As Jesse runs alongside the rest of the fleeing attendees, you need to guide his path
– Any obstacle you’re unable to evade in time with horizontal movement throws a quick-time event your way
– The group reconvenes in a shelter after escaping
– Jesse lights an inactive portal and the group jumps in
– A hardened warrior named Gabriel confronts Jesse about his destiny in helping resolve the issues causing this invasion
– Before they finish their talk, the monster’s tentacles smash through the walls and the tractor beam begins abducting Gabriel and Petra
– Can only save one
– Game Informer chose Petra, which leaves Gabriel to float off into the distance
– Petra is safe, but before Jesse is able to escape, one of the monster’s tentacles whacks him hard, sending him flying into the portal as the screen cuts to black
– Voice cast features the likes of Patton Oswalt, Catherine Taber, Brian Posehn, Ashley Johnson, Dave Fennoy, Billy West, and Paul Reubens
