TellTale Games The Wolf Among Us 2 Trailer News & Latest Updates
Though there's been little news on The Wolf Among Us 2 since its announcement back in 2019, that's finally changing. Here's what we know so far.
Telltale Games announced the return of The Wolf Among Us upon the studio's 2019 revival, but there have been few updates about the project since. Based on Bill Willingham's Fables comic series, the first game was released over the course of five episodes in 2013 and 2014. It served as a prequel to Fables in which players controlled Bigby Wolf (a.k.a. the Big Bad Wolf), the sheriff of a hidden New York community occupied by fairytale characters called Fabletown. The story followed Bigby as he investigated mysterious murders in Fabletown, a community that had previously been fairly safe for a long time.
The original Wolf Among Us game was praised for its noir tone, visual style and story. Now, after years without news on The Wolf Among Us 2, a recent Game Informer issue revealed some new details about the upcoming game, with more updates promised in 2022. Here's everything we know so far about The Wolf Among Us 2.
The Wolf Among Us 2's Trailer
So far, the only trailer for The Wolf Among Us 2 is an announcement teaser that aired during The Game Awards 2019. Though vague, Snow and Bigby's voices can be heard in this ominous teaser, suggesting a return to the dark tone of the original and an escalation of the lengths Bigby will have to go for this game.
What Is The Wolf Among Us 2 About?
Little is known about the plot of The Wolf Among Us 2. It remains a prequel to Fables, this time set all over New York six months after the events of the first game. The 2019 teaser suggested tat Bigby would need to delve into his monstrous side -- the side of him he has tried to overcome and leave in the past -- which points to an even darker story for this game.
While there were plans for a Wolf Among Us sequel prior to Telltale's closure in 2018, there were no plans to resolve the first game's cliffhanger ending, which was inspired by the noir films it took inspiration from. However, that version of the sequel was canceled when the studio closed. After Telltale's revival by LCG Entertainment and the subsequent announcement of The Wolf Among Us 2, it was revealed that the new sequel would be made from scratch rather than using the original plans. Now, it's unclear if the game will address its predecessor's ending or leave it open-ended as originally intended.
When Will The Wolf Among Us 2 Release?
There is no release date or window for The Wolf Among Us 2 yet, but Telltale has teased more information coming early 2022. Right now, we know the game is in full production, its script has been finalized and its motion capture is currently being worked on.
Outside of that, it has been confirmed that, like the first game and other Telltale titles, The Wolf Among Us 2 will be released episodically. Each episode of The Wolf Among Us was developed separately, leading to a long wait between the first and second episodes' releases. However, The Wolf Among Us 2's episodes are being developed simultaneously, so it is likely the wait between them will be shorter and more consistent this time.
