The Wolf Among Us 2: A Telltale Series will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Games Store in 2023, Telltale Games announced.

The sequel to the 2013-released The Wolf Among Us: A Telltale Games Series will release episodically, but development on all episodes will be complete by the time the first episode releases.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Looking forward to this.

 

[balls of snow]

A crossgen game..in 2023. Am hype for this though.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Wow 2013 to 2023, it's been a long 10 year wait for this, but the trailer still got me hyped. Missed Bigby and Faith and can't wait to see what happens.

 

[rofif]

Loved the first one

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Curious... I understand that some of the former Telltale devs are involved, but I don't know whether to take the reborn Telltale seriously yet.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Just played the first one this past week. I really liked the premise/setting and the art style is great.

Not sure where I'd rank it in the TT rankings, but probably third behind GOT and TWD.

[Lupin25]

Damn…

This was a welcomed surprise.

(hoping the character development, story arcs, witty dialogue & voice acting are all top notch like the first. Obviously same art style as the previous game. I’m curious as to how Telltale/Skybound improved upon their engine in a way that could revamp gameplay tho.)

 

[winjer]

The first one was amazing. so I can only hope this one lives up to it's legacy.
And I really hope this game is not filled with QTEs, like most of the recent Telltale games.

 

[Forsythia]

My favourite Telltale game! I'm glad it's finally getting a sequel and it looks good!

 

[Vampire On Titus]

Looking forward to this. The style looks like a faithful upgrade with a lot of the improvements you'd want (clarity, effects, fluid animation). I like Bigby's spiffy winter coat and I'm ready to have another go at crime solving in Fabletown. Or I guess Fabletown and the mundy world this time. It will be interesting to see Bigby's dynamic with a human partner.

For this sequel I really hope they expand some of the mystery solving aspects in the first game. One of my favorite scenes from Wolf 1 was when you investigated Toad's apartment, revealing signs of a prior fight, and catching him in lies. If they incorporate more scenes like that, where you feel active in solving the mystery, this game could elevate beyond the original. I assume they have time to do more now that they've changed their development pipeline.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Wonder if they're still going to carry forward choices, or if it'll just go with canon choices. My save file from 10 years ago is surely long gone.

 

[Rockondevil]

Loved the first, can't wait for this. Trailer did what it needed and got me excited. I just hope it lives up to the first.

 

[Braag]

The first game was easily my favorite TT game. Can't wait for this one.

 

[Graciaus]

Their loss releasing EGS exclusive.

 

[Midn1ght]

Recently finished the first one and loved it. The music is so good.

Epic exclusive thought...

 

[Nankatsu]

So dude is a werewolf?

As if the title wasn't spoiler enough by itself

 

[Fbh]

Nice, looking good.
The first was my second favorite Telltale game after Tales from the Borderlands.

Not a fan of it being episodic. Or rather, it was the main reasons I always bought their game for cheap. I always preferred to wait for all chapters to be out, and then it was like "well I've waited so far, might as well wait for a good sale".

A crossgen game..in 2023. Am hype for this though.

To be fair it's one of these interactive movie type games with a cartoony art style. Hardly something that needs cutting edge tech.
I expect many AA and indie games releasing on ps4.

 

[zeorhymer]

This is a surprised. I thought they died a while back. Wonder if they actually updated the engine.

 

[Quasicat]

The Nintendo Direct can now suck, because I’ve got my game of the show right here!

 

[jshackles]

Amazing

 

[Shits_McGiggles]

Hopefully the writing is up-to-par. The first game was pretty good, but I don't think we know who is writing the story for this game.

The trailer would have been much better without the therapist interaction and dialogue on top of it honestly. The art of "show, don't tell" is lost on these people.

 

[dcll]

The first was was awesome, looking forward to this

 

[CherryFalls]

Lovely trailer. Shame about the long wait, but looking forward to it

 

[HarryKS]

Super. Loved the first one almost as much as Borderlands.

However, I thought Telltale had closed down.

 

[Vampire On Titus]

This is a surprised. I thought they died a while back. Wonder if they actually updated the engine.

They were revived by a dude named Jamie Ottilie, who has purchased the rights to TTG and some of it's properties under LCG Entertainment. They're currently a much smaller studio and ~50% comprised of old TTG members. Wolf 2 is being jointly developed with AdHoc studios, which was formed by ex-TTG members in the wake of old-TTG's shuttering. So, at least for this game in particular, a lot of old TTG devs who worked on the original Wolf 2 project are working on this one. Although, this latest iteration of Wolf 2 was started from scratch rather than building off the cancelled version. They're no longer using TellTale Tool as their engine and have switched to Unreal Engine.

 

[Big Baller]

Missed this. Looks great. Can't believe it's been 10 years already

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

So dude is a werewolf?

As if the title wasn't spoiler enough by itself

He's not a werewolf, he's the Big Bad Wolf from the Three Pigs fable.

 

[LordOfChaos]

It's a sequel to a 10 year old game of the same title where we already knew he was the Big Bad Wolf ("Bigby"), I mean...

I was just kidding, even though I didn't knew that because I don't remember finishing the game

I thought you must be, but added emphasis to the joke

 

[tommib]

Absolutely loved the original and played it several times for the narrative branches. Day one.
