In anticipation of the impending release of Minecraft: Story Mode Episode 4 next week, Telltale Games has graced us with four new screenshots.

A Block and a Hard Place will see Jesse, Reuben and company braving the perils of the Farlands in search of the one thing that will destroy the command block at the heart of the Wither Storm. Gear up for an epic final battle!

Telltale asks: If Episode Four will end the story of the Wither Storm, what does that mean for Episode Five?

Telltale answers: We wouldn’t dare spoil that for you here, but you can expect to have a better idea of what’s to come for the Order of the Stone after playing Episode Four and when the mysterious fifth episode launches in early 2016.
