The Wolf Among Us 2 is the eagerly anticipated sequel to one of Telltale's most beloved games, but news of the endeavour has been surprisingly scarce. Last we heard, the game had been delayed and would not be released in 2023. Thankfully, a familiar face has kept the flame of hope alive.
The Wolf Among Us 2 Gets Development Update
07.04.2024 - 02:25 / gamerant.com / Brett Byll
An update on Deck Nine and Telltale games has revealed that The Wolf Among Us 2's production is stil ongoing. The Wolf Among Us 2 aims to pick up after the events of the hit 2013 release. The first game adaptation of Bill Willingham's Fables comic series used developer Telltale's increasingly successful gameplay format, where players often had to make consequential dialogue choices under varying amounts of pressure.
The Wolf Among Us games are delivered via the episodic format Telltale is known for, leading to a roster of games that players believe would make good movies. After the original game's success, Telltale Studios considered working on a second series, but didn't fully commit to the idea until its announcement in 2017. Then, Telltale Studios closed.
Telltale's closure was disappointing to gamers for a multitude of reasons. Initially, The Wolf Among Us 2 was set for a 2018 release, then delayed to 2019, and then canceled after Telltale was faced with too many challenges to continue staying afloat. After being acquired by LCG Entertainment in 2019, Telltale studios was brought back, and The Wolf Among Us 2 was officially announced at The Game Awards that year. A promising trailer was shown at the 2022 Game Awards, leading fans to believe that the finished game would likely show up soon. However, there have been very few updates on its progress since, with recent layoffs at Telltale leaving fans concerned.
Fortunately, Telltale confirmed to IGN that production is continuing on The Wolf Among Us 2. Amid news of a toxic work culture at Deck Nine studios, who had worked on the pre-production script of The Wolf Among Us 2, Telltale Games issued a statement reaffirming its relationship with the company. Deck Nine and Telltale co-developed The Expanse: A Telltale Series, and based on the success of that project, working on one of their next big releases together likely made sense. In 2023, Telltale laid off «most of» its staff and Deck Nine laid off at least 20% of its employees. The apparent loss of structure and money seemingly impacted the work onThe Wolf Among Us 2 at Deck Nine, but Telltale has confirmed that the game is still being made internally.
Although production on The Wolf Among Us 2 continues, it is unlikely it will be completed quickly. The people who continue working on the game will have more on their plate with fewer developers to assist with their efforts. At this point, some fans are excited that the game has a chance of being released at all. Others recommend treating the game as if it does not exist until more is shown, as it sounds like it is still hovering around the pre-production stage of development even after years of silence. Considering the state that Telltale and its
