Wolf Among Us 2 to Launch in 2027, Original Remastered for 2026 Holiday

6/6/2026, 12:57:21 PM

Release Schedule

The sequel, *The Wolf Among Us 2*, is slated for a 2027 launch, while a remastered version of the 2013 original will arrive during the 2026 holiday season. Both titles are being developed by the revived Telltale Games with publisher PM Studios.

Background & Context

The original game released episodically in 2013–2014, adapting Bill Willingham’s *Fables* comics. A sequel announced in 2017 stalled after Telltale closed in 2018. The studio’s 2019 revival moved development to AdHoc Studio, which paused work again in 2023, leaving the sequel dormant until its Summer Game Fest reveal.

Key Figures & Groups

Timeline

Development Span & Impact

Development of the sequel has spanned over a decade. The remaster targets the 2026 holiday window; the sequel the 2027 calendar year. No exact dates are set. These releases mark Telltale’s first major narrative-driven title since its revival, updating the *Fables* universe and extending Bigby Wolf’s story after an eight-year gap.

Official Statements & Responses

Summer Game Fest credits Telltale and PM Studios as the sequel’s developers, confirming the 2027 target. Warner Bros. Interactive noted the long interval since the original’s launch and said the remaster bridges the gap for players awaiting the sequel.

Conflicting Reports & Gaps

Both sources agree on the 2027 launch window for the sequel and the 2026 holiday window for the remaster, but exact dates are absent. The role of AdHoc Studio after its September 2023 exit remains unclear.
