The Wolf Among Us 2 is coming in 2027 and Telltale is also bringing a remaster of the original this holiday season

Telltale Games made a surprise appearance at Summer Game Fest 2026 with a double announcement for The Wolf Among Us series. After nearly a decade of silence, Telltale Games unveiled a new trailer for The Wolf Among Us 2. The game now has a 2027 release window, along with a remastered version of the 2013 original arriving this holiday season.

The Wolf Among Us 2 takes place approximately six months after the first game's events, with players returning to Fabletown as Bigby Wolf. "Return to the role of Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, as a deadly conspiracy tears apart the precarious peace among the exiled Fables. Betrayed, framed, and exiled, Bigby must work from the shadows to save a city consumed by corruption, vengeance, and fear."

The game is coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Switch 2, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. At the same time, the remaster brings back all five episodes of the original game with updated visuals, an improved UI, and accessibility upgrades, along with over an hour of bonus content, including deleted scenes, cast interviews, behind-the-scenes videos, and image galleries.

A sequel was originally announced in 2017, but was shelved when Telltale collapsed in 2018 after a financial backer pulled out. LCG Entertainment revived the studio in 2019 and re-announced the project at The Game Awards, initially in collaboration with AdHoc Studio. That partnership has since been dissolved, and the game underwent a full technical reset after an attempt to combine the proprietary Telltale Tool with Unreal Engine 4 proved unworkable. The studio eventually moved to Unreal Engine 5, walking away from years of existing work in the process.

"We walked away from years of work that wasn't going where we wanted it to go," Telltale CEO Jamie Ottilie told GamesIndustry.biz. "But we didn't rush and try to keep a release date, we did it and stepped back and reset, and have done a better job this time around."

The current version is being developed in partnership with Argentine studio Trick Studios. Ottilie says there is no firm date beyond the 2027 window and that Telltale will not commit to a release "until we're happy." He added that when the game is finally out, it will be the moment it is safe to say Telltale is back.

"This is really the cornerstone for who and what we are going to be going forward," Ottilie said. "That should rightfully be the pinnacle of narrative entertainment. That's what we are after." If you've never played The Wolf Among Us, the remaster should be a good place to start before the sequel launches next year. For returning players, it also helps bridge the eight-year gap since the original release.
