Telltale Games has announced that The Wolf Among Us 2 is now slated for a 2027 release, following a remaster of the original game later this year. The news broke during the Summer Game Fest 2026 showcase, confirming the sequel will launch on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Nearly a decade after the original Telltale Games first announced plans for a sequel to their noir fantasy adaptation of the Fables comic series, the project has weathered the studio's closure, revival, a complete reboot, multiple delays, layoffs, and a dissolved partnership with AdHoc Studio (makers of Dispatch), which had been working on the game for several years. The official description reads: "Set after the events of the original game, The Wolf Among Us 2 returns players to the shadowy streets of Fabletown, where fairytale characters live hidden among humans in modern-day New York. As tensions rise and long-simmering power struggles threaten to erupt, Snow White struggles to maintain order while new forces move to reshape the city’s underworld. When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld. As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." Before the sequel, a remastered version of the original game, The Wolf Among Us Remastered, will arrive this holiday season on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PS5, Switch, Switch 2, and Xbox. The remaster promises improved visuals, UI, and accessibility features, plus an hour of bonus content including deleted scenes and interviews with the cast. IGN recently interviewed Telltale CEO Jamie Ottilie about the long development journey, the split with Ad Hoc, and future plans.
