December 11th (Prior to Episode 4 release)
A blog post about Episode 4 stated that Episode 5 will focus on a new story and will premiere in "Early 2016"...
- "If Episode Four will end the story of the Wither Storm, what does that mean for Episode Five? 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."
December 9th (Prior to Episode 4 release)
- Tweet from Job: It's true! Ep 4 releasing this month. In a lot of ways, it will act as a finale of sorts to our main arc. Ep 5? 2016

Thread: Episode 5
When is Episode 5 coming out
I would say Late January/Early Feburary.
Possibly in 4 weeks. Telltale stated that releases are just 3-4 weeks now.
I would say mid to late Januaray
Hopefully their mission in ep 5 will be to get Reuben back somehow, I cried as fuck to be honest, he was like a Lee-dead almost. I need you, buddy.. You're a hero.
Yeah his death sucked
Honestly, for the first time with this series, I'm very much looking forward to the next episode, Episode 4 was great and I can't wait to see what happens in Episode 5. I'm 99% sure it will be released before Michonne comes out, so probably late January.
Totally honest, I have no idea what the point of the next episode is, they finished the story.
I'm personally expecting a mid-late January release. I can't see this going over into February.
As soon as ruben jumped with jesse i knew he was going to die.
I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I kind of agree. The story is over, this could have easily been a 4 episode series like Jurassic Park, the 5th isn't really necessary. Even with that though, I'm still looking forward to what they're going to do with it.
It could just come out janurary 1st but i doubt that
This episode doesn't need to exist, but I'm glad it does. More content is always welcomed.
That's definitely not happening for several reasons. There are at least a few weeks in-between each episode (ignoring Telltale's Christmas break), and episodes almost always premiere on Tuesdays (and then come onto other platforms the next day or two).
Am I the only one wandering what happened to Soren after he bailed on us? Maybe episode 5 will give us an answer to that.
If i had to guess i think it could release the last week of January to the first two weeks of February, this episode could have been the final episode so it will be interesting to see what they do in episode 5.
I wish It came out this year...
when the mysterious fifth episode launches in early 2016 Thats what something said at the top of the page so It's coming EARLY! 2016
I'm kinda curious what will Telltale do with the final episode. The 4th one could as well be the last one.
Well I could be right but like i said I DOUBT it
Back to waiting! I might not be in the forums for a while, because i got a PS4, so im excited. So you won't see me for a while, unless i come here on my PS4. :P
Yes, why didn't I remember that Jurassic Park was the only Telltale game which contains only 4 episodes? I clearly don't see what's the point of having another episode when the main antagonist Witherstorm just died. HOWEVER, I think it is because we don't know what happened to Soren after he ran away like a coward, he could the main antagonist of the finale, I guess. We'll see.
Wallace and Gromit also had four episodes, but that title isn't sold anymore.
You mean the game isn't sold anymore? Ok
Bye Smellmeh I always liked you as a friend! hope you visit on ur ps4!
No, I would like to know too.
R.I.P Smellmeh - (?) No one will remember him
I guess the Ender Dragon will return in Ep 5. It has not been killed yet, it is only out of existence... in the command block? I dont think Soren will let out the dragon...Soren is very shy (in my opinion).
Well after all the Ender Dragon egg still exists.
Me too!
yeah I wonder what happend
Oh, You are right. I forgot for the 1.9. performance...
me too
I wonder what happened to the enderdragon since the command block is destroyed
I think the dragon is always alive, just out of the existence (i.e. it is invisible)... it is just my opinion.
yeah
Same here
Episode 4 ending is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SAD Reuben died
SO SAD
open it if u played episode 4 or watched it through the end of the episiode.
(?) Except for that one guy
