The Wolf Among Us was one of Telltale's most loved games, and when the studio returned to life under new management in 2019, one of the first things it did was announce that The Wolf Among Us 2 is happening.

And then we waited, and waited, and waited some more: A 2024 promise that yes, the game is still in development, was the most recent update on the situation—until now.

A new trailer for The Wolf Among Us 2 appeared at today's Summer Game Fest showcase, giving us a slight but pleasantly fresh look at Bigby's upcoming adventure, and some of the characters (and headaches) he'll face as he investigates a new mystery: "Homicide. Six total so far. Each case husband and wife found shredded. People are dying. Some monster is out there. Word around the precinct is you're the guy to call."

The wait for The Wolf Among Us 2 has been unexpectedly long. and occasionally peppered with rumors that the whole thing had been cancelled. As PC Gamer's Harvey Randall noted in 2024, "to say that The Wolf Among Us 2 has had a troubled development would be like saying that a highway pile up has had a mild impact on traffic." It was actually meant to be out in 2018, a full eight years ago, but Telltale's closure later that same year obviously had an impact on that.

Telltale has also finally committed to a release target, albeit one that's not very specific: 2027! Yeah, that's it. The good news for fans is that there's something closer to the moment: The Wolf Among Us Remastered is also in the pipe, and it's set to come out for the 2026 holiday season.
