While we were aware that creative leads from the first game would be coming back to work on the game, it seems that whatever technical work on the first game was either scrapped or not far enough along to actually use. There he confirmed that the game basically was being built from the ground up, even using a new engine in Unreal Engine 4, as opposed to the old Telltale engine or Unity, which the company planned to transition to after The Walking Dead: The Final Season. USGamer talked to Jamie Ottilie, CEO of LCG Entertainment (the studio now managing the old Telltale catalog). It seems there’s good reason for that, though, as the game basically was started from scratch. We got a less pleasant surprise when it was announced that the game wouldn’t be coming anytime soon, much less next year.
The original game was one of the first to help popularize the Telltale style of narrative adventure. There's no exact date for its arrival on PlayStation, Xbox, and the Epic Games Store yet, however, with Telltale insisting it'll only ship it "when it's right".This year, we got the pleasant surprise that The Wolf Among Us 2 was being revived. The Wolf Among Us 2 is currently deep in production and on track for a 2023 launch. However, this time, its five episodes will all be completed ahead of launch, with the goal being to release a new instalment on a regular schedule. There's plenty of returning talent on the development side too The Wolf Among Us 2 is being co-developed by AdHoc Studio, which is made up of almost 50-percent former Telltale employees (as detailed in a recent GameInformer profile) and was co-founded by Nick Herman - who served as co-director on the original Wolf Among Us, was director on the wonderful, woefully under-appreciated Tales from the Borderlands, and has credits stemming all the way back to Telltale's 2007 outing, Sam & Max: Season One.Īccording to new Telltale boss Jamie Ottilie, who resurrected the company after its original closure, The Wolf Among Us 2 - which retains the striking look of its predecessor despite a shift to the Unreal Engine - will once again utilise the episodic format synonymous with previous Telltale Games.

That appeared to be the end for The Wolf Among Us 2, until the announcement one year later that Telltale was being resurrected under new management - a surprise development that would eventually see the sequel being re-announced at The Game Awards in 2019.Īnd now, after a period of relative silence as pre-production work continued, The Wolf Among Us 2 has received its first proper unveiling in the form of an in-engine trailer - along with a few additional details courtesy of a developer chat with the The Game Awards' Geoff Keighley. The news fans had been waiting for eventually arrived in 2017, with confirmation The Wolf Among Us 2 was in development, but progress on the title regrettably halted after developer Telltale Games shut its doors the following year. The Wolf Among Us 2 has, of course, had an eventful journey to reach this point the original game - a five-episode story-driven adventure based on Bill Willingham's Fables comic books - released almost a decade ago in 2013 to much acclaim, and the demand for a sequel was immediate.
