Minecraft: Story Mode Episode 4 will be out in time for Christmas on iOS and Android

You might remember a few days ago we told you the fourth episode of TellTale's Minecraft: Story Mode was set to hit the App Store this month, we just didn't know when this month.

Well, now we do. It'll land on Deceber 22nd, just in time for Christmas. Because nothing says Christmas like ignoring your friends and family and playing an episodic point-and-click adventure.

Actually, it's pretty awesome, and probably better than over-eating and getting creeped out by your uncles.

Episode 4, A Block and a Hard Place, will bring the current story to an end. Then we'll have to wait until 2016 for the mysterious fifth episode.

Apparently you'll have a better idea of what that mystery will entail when you've finished Episode 4. As you'd expect.

And if that wasn't enough there are some new screenshots as well. You can check them out in the gallery up at the top of the page. Go on, have a gander, knock yourself out.
