In case you had forgotten about it, Minecraft: Story Mode is a new game being developed by Telltale Games (and published by Mojang). The game, like all their other titles, will be an interactive story. The first 'episode' of Minecraft: Story Mode will be released sometime this year.
There have been little to no details about the game being released, besides the fact that it exists. We already know it will not feature the main 'Steve' character from Minecraft, and will not be cannon Minecraft, meaning whatever happens in that game will have no effect on what little story Minecraft already has.
South by Southwest is an annual set of conferences that take place in Austin, Texas around this time of year, focusing on music, film, and interactive media. One of the companies that will attend the conference this year is Telltale Games. Their event page (scheduled for tomorrow), has the following description:
So there you have it - we might finally get some details on Minecraft's first spin-off game tomorrow at SXSW. Unfortunately the page doesn't reveal any useful information regarding what will be talked about, besides the title "Interactive Storytelling in 2015." See the source link for the event page.
