Telltale might have decided to delay their game due to the layoffs from late last year.

The developers’ announcement follows: „[…]The Wolf Among Us 2, based on Bill Willingham’s award-winning Fables comic book series from DC’s Vertigo imprint, will now launch in 2019, rather than the latter half of 2018. This delay comes as the result of a few fundamental changes here at Telltale since we first announced the game last summer.

Most importantly, we’re committed to exploring new ways to tell our stories. Taking this extra time will allow us not only to focus on quality but also to experiment and iterate to craft something extraordinary. Ultimately our goal is to deliver an experience deserving of the passion you’ve consistently shown for The Wolf Among Us, and these extra months will give us the time we need to do our best work. We’re incredibly enthusiastic about how the game is progressing so far, and we can’t wait to dig even more profound. Still, we know we’ve just made a long wait even longer, which is why we sincerely appreciate your patience. We’ll have more Wolf news for you later this year […].”

So, The Wolf Among Us‘ Season Two will not start in the second half of 2018 but in 2019 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android. The „few fundamental changes” do sound like the layoffs affecting the dev team… but for now, all we can do is hope that the result won’t be disappointing.
