The game, which has a full name of The Wolf Among Us 2: A Telltale Series, has been revived by Telltale Games and AdHoc Studio. (Telltale is back, too? Is LCG Entertainment into necromancy?)

„LCG Entertainment, doing business as Telltale, today confirmed that The Wolf Among Us 2 is again in development. Telltale has partnered with AdHoc Studio, a creative house formed by former Telltale Games employees and focused on interactive narrative, to resume work on and co-develop the second season of the award-winning The Wolf Among Us series.

In August of this year, LCG Entertainment completed its purchase of the Telltale Games brand, assets, and technology with the intent to revive the original company’s back catalogue of games and to develop new games based on the company’s popular licensed IPs. The Wolf Among Us 2 is the first new game to be announced since the purchase and is licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on behalf of DC. The title was revealed tonight during the telecast of The Game Awards. The game will initially be released for PC as an Epic Games Store exclusive, and on consoles.

„The Wolf Among Us is one of the most popular titles in the Telltale catalogue, so we are thrilled to announce that development on Wolf 2 has again started and assure all of the series’ fans that it is in good hands. Partnering with AdHoc Studio enables us to work with many of the key creative and development talents from the original Wolf series while strategically growing the new Telltale,” said Jamie Ottilie, CEO of LCG Entertainment/Telltale.

Returning to work on The Wolf Among Us 2 via AdHoc are directors, Nick Herman and Dennis Lenart; along with writer Pierre Shorette. Also returning are the award-winning voice actors, Adam Harrington as Bigby Wolf, and Erin Yvette as Snow White and composer Jared Emerson-Johnson. Additionally, Telltale Games’ former VP of Engineering, Zac Litton, has joined the new Telltale team as CTO.

„When the opportunity came up, it was an easy decision for us. Developing The Wolf Among Us was my first project at Telltale and the start of a creative partnership with Nick and Dennis, so obviously we’re excited to further explore the Fables universe,” said Pierre Shorette, CCO of AdHoc Studio.

Based on Bill Willingham’s Fables comic book series from DC, The Wolf Among Us is a five-episode prequel, 20 years before the events of the comic books. The series features various characters from fairy tales and folklore, known as Fables, who inhabit a clandestine community within New York City known as Fabletown. Having won critical acclaim and nominations for BAFTA and D.I.C.E. Awards, as well as garnering awards for Game Direction and some of the performances, The Wolf Among Us has amassed a significant fan following and anticipation for a second season,” Telltale’s press release says.

The first The Wolf Among Us was released between 2013 and 2014, featuring Bigby Wolf’s events from 1986. The story starts as a simple investigation, but it turns into a much darker plot with serial murder, and he almost ends up getting sentenced along with Snow White, one of the… well, let’s put it bluntly, prostitutes in the game called Nerissa saves us. This game was the other big hit from Telltale aside from The Walking Dead. It is currently available for free at the Epic Games Store.

As they did not define which consoles are planned, we suspect all of them, namely PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and the freshly announced Xbox Series X…
