We'll cover everything from the core gameplay loop to the folks bringing this world to life, and even touch on the game's journey from its initial announcement to its revival. Let's get you up to speed so you can hit the ground running when you step back into Fabletown.
Revival
You might remember that The Wolf Among Us 2 had a bit of a rocky start. It was initially announced, then sadly cancelled when Telltale Games faced some major challenges. But don't worry, the story doesn't end there! The game has been brought back from the brink, and while everything had to be restarted from scratch, the core vision remains. The good news is, it's confirmed to be set after the events of the first game, so you'll be picking up with Bigby and the gang where you left off. One of the biggest changes you'll notice is that it's ditching the old Telltale Tool Engine for the shiny new Unreal Engine 5. This means a whole new visual and technical experience! It was originally slated for a 2023 release, but to avoid crunch and ensure the best quality, it's been delayed indefinitely. The developers are aiming for a 5-episode structure, but the exact release schedule is still up in the air.
Episodes
While we don't have exact release dates yet, the game is planned to be a 5-episode adventure. Here's the breakdown:
- Episode 1 (TBA)
- Episode 2 (TBA)
- Episode 3 (TBA)
- Episode 4 (TBA)
- Episode 5 (TBA)
