Sony is sliding into the Christmas holiday with a slight PlayStation Store update, but it does include the finales of two of 2017’s biggest episodic games.
Telltale Games will launch Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2 – Episode 5: Above and Beyond for the PS4, putting a cap on a second round of adventures for Jesse and friends. And Square Enix will release Life Is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 3: Hell Is Empty for the PS4, bringing Chloe’s prequel journey to an end.
Also available to download this week is Accounting+, a PlayStation VR-powered “nightmare adventure comedy” from Justin Roiland (one half of the Rick and Morty team).
You can learn more about all of this week’s additions to the PlayStation Store after the break.
