The Wolf Among Us 2 is an upcoming episodic graphic adventure game being developed and published by Telltale Games with assistance of AdHoc Studio, a studio that consists of former Telltale staff. It is a sequel to the 2013 game The Wolf Among Us.

Development[]

When The Wolf Among Us was completed by July 2014, Telltale had thought of doing a second season, but they had already committed to the projects leading to Tales from the Borderlands, Minecraft: Story Mode, and Game of Thrones.[1] The company was aware of strong interest in a second season through the intervening years, and they were looking for the right time to develop it.[1]

A second yet-to-be-named season was announced during the July 2017 San Diego Comic Con, and was originally set to premiere in 2018 for personal computers, consoles, and mobile devices. Both Adam Harrington and Erin Yvette were to return to voice Bigby Wolf and Snow White, respectively.[2] Stauffer said that Season Two would not resolve the apparent cliffhanger related to Nerissa's connection to Faith; he said that it was meant to be ending similar to a film noir work that made the viewer think about the implications, but never saw this themselves as a cliffhanger. Instead, Season 2 would have continued on with more narrative related to Bigby and Snow White.[3] By May 2018, Telltale announced that due to recent internal studio issues, they had to push back the release of the sequel until 2019.[4] In September 2018, Telltale had a majority studio closure due to "insurmountable challenges", cancelling The Wolf Among Us's second season among other projects in development.[5]

Upon Telltale's revival by LCG Entertainment, The Wolf Among Us was one of the titles reacquired by LCG, but no announcement was made at that time about the sequel.[6] The company announced The Wolf Among Us 2 at The Game Awards 2019. The sequel will continue events after the first game, though still remain as a prequel to the comic series. The game is being developed in association with AdHoc Studio, formed by former Telltale Games staff, who will focus on the game's narrative and cinematic elements while Telltale will implement the gameplay and other designs. In addition to returning Telltale staff, Harrington and Yvette will return to voice Bigby and Snow White, and Jared Emerson-Johnson will compose music for the game. The game is being developed on the Unreal Engine, and will be released in an episodic approach.[7] This sequel will be worked completely from scratch, using none of the ideas and initial work that had been done under the former Telltale banner before its closure.[8] Unlike the past development cycle approach at the former Telltale where each episode was developed in a standalone fashion, all episodes of The Wolf Among Us 2 are being developed simultaneously.[9]
