Telltale Games has promised that fresh details regarding the long-awaited sequel to The Wolf Among Us will be released shortly, following fan dissatisfaction by the game’s absence from this year’s The Game Awards. The developer acquired notoriety for their unique narrative-driven games in which player choices have a big impact on the story. Telltale Games initially went bankrupt in 2018, leading fans to assume a sequel to The Wolf Among Us would never be developed, but the studio’s resuscitation in 2019 reawakened optimism for a future episode in the series.
The Wolf Among Us is an episodic mystery game based on the comic book series Fables by Bill Willingham. The series’ protagonist, a werewolf named Bigby Wolf, is the sheriff of Fabletown, a town populated by gritty reimaginings of famous fairytale characters. The player is tasked with resolving a series of killings that have occurred within the town by gathering evidence and interrogating persons. Initially released in episodic form between 2013 and 2014, the game soon became a fan favorite in the Telltale library, and fans were overjoyed when a sequel to The Wolf Among Us was announced at the 2019 Game Awards. Telltale has remained largely mum on the subject since then, leaving gamers anxious for more information.
Although Telltale Games did not make any announcements about The Wolf Among Us 2 at this year’s Game Awards, PCGamesN says that the firm will have additional details about the game shortly. Following the awards event, the developers addressed the lack of Wolf Among Us, two news on the Telltale website. The programmer stated, “We announced the start of pre-production on TWAU2 in December 2019. The crew is working diligently, but as you may have noted, we had nothing fresh to say about it during The Game Awards.” It disclosed that additional information regarding Telltale Games and its planned games – including The Wolf Among Us 2 – will be included in an upcoming issue of the magazine Game Informer, cleverly noting, “We vow to have something else worth sinking your teeth into early next year!”
Apart from a brief comment on Twitter by Telltale programmers, the firm has been silent about The Wolf Among Us 2 until now. With so much time passing between the teaser trailer’s debut and any substantial word from the studio, many fans began to worry that the sequel would ever be produced. A new dedicated area in Game Informer is certain to answer many of the questions fans have about the upcoming game and Telltale Games in general.
This statement is the latest in a series of startling developments about Telltale Games and appears to indicate that the firm is finally getting back on track following its resurrection. While many gamers remain skeptical about Telltale’s return, this announcement has excited many gamers who have been waiting for news about The Wolf Among Us 2 – hopefully, the sequel lives up to the expectations fans have been building since the game’s debut.
