Let's get you up to speed so you can jump right into Bigby's next big mystery.

About The Wolf Among Us 2

This is the much-anticipated sequel to the original The Wolf Among Us. It was first announced way back at SDCC in 2017, and let me tell you, the road to release has been a bit bumpy. It was originally slated for 2018, then pushed to 2019, and then, unfortunately, cancelled when Telltale Games faced some major studio closures in September 2018. That was a tough blow for fans, myself included! The good news? After Telltale's assets were picked up, the game was revived. While the exact release date is still under wraps, we know it's happening!

The original plan for the sequel was to pick up some time after the first game, following Bigby Wolf and Snow White on a brand-new mystery. It was confirmed that it wouldn't directly answer the cliffhanger from Season 1, so expect a fresh case. Plus, a lot of fans wanted it to be set in winter, and guess what? That's exactly what they're doing! Later on, there were rumors about it being a shorter, three-episode season due to budget constraints, but the official reveal trailer in February 2022 confirmed its resurrection and gave us a look at the platforms it's coming to.

Development and Engine Change

When the game was brought back, they decided to restart everything from scratch. The winter setting is still a go, which is great news for those who loved that aesthetic. The new Wolf Among Us 2 is planned to be 5 episodes long, though the release schedule is still a mystery. It's set after the events of the first game, so you'll be picking up with Bigby and the gang where we left off. A pretty significant change is that it's the first Telltale game not using their old engine; they're now using Unreal Engine 5. This switch, from Unreal Engine 4 to 5, is also why it was delayed from its 2023 target release. They're really taking their time to make this one shine!

Episodes and Cast

As mentioned, the game is set to have 5 episodes, though we don't have release dates for any of them yet. It's going to be a while, but worth the wait!

• Episode 1 (TBA)
• Episode 2 (TBA)
• Episode 3 (TBA)
• Episode 4 (TBA)
• Episode 5 (TBA)

For the cast, we've got some familiar faces returning:

• Adam Harrington as Bigby Wolf
• Erin Yvette as Snow White

And there will be new characters too, though their voice actors are still TBA:

• TBA as Faye Leung
• TBA as Dorothy Gale
• TBA as Tin Woodman
