"It's been a long, long, long eight years," began the trailer for The Wolf Among Us 2 during Summer Game Fest. It's true enough, as the game was first announced in 2019 and has since gone through a tumultuous development cycle. But it seems the wait may finally be over, with the announcement of a 2027 release window. Fingers crossed it doesn't get pushed again.
The original Wolf Among Us was released episodically throughout 2013 and 2014. The game, an original story in the world of comic series Fables, let players explore a New York City neighborhood inhabited by folktales such as Snow White, Cinderella, and the Big Bad Wolf. That last character goes by Bigby Wolf in this world and serves as the sheriff of the neighborhood. The original Wolf Among Us had players solving the latest mysteries (including murder most foul) through the choice-based gameplay that Telltale Games was known for.
