'The Wolf Among Us 2' to launch in 2023, drops new trailer

Ten years after the original game came out, The Wolf Among Us 2 finally gets a tentative release date. The revived Telltale Games team announced that the sequel will arrive sometime in 2023, dropping a new trailer alongside the announcement.

The story is the precursor to Bill Willingham's Fables comics, following Fableton sheriff Bigby Wolf and this time, we see some well-known characters from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This sequel takes place six months after the first season, promising plenty of drama as a new case gets the NYPD involved. It took the team this long to update the game as the company went through issues, including its dissolution in 2018 but then got a second chance from LCG Entertainment in 2019.

Telltale Games shuts down most of its studio, ‘The Walking Dead Final Season’ reportedly won’t be finished

Say goodbye to The Wolf Among Us 2, Stranger Things, and even the rest of The Walking Dead Final Season. Telltale Games, the studio behind these titles, have laid off most of its staff. The studio has kept on a skeleton crew of 25 people to “fulfill the company’s obligations to its board and partners.” According to US Gamer, sources say these staff members are going to work on the Minecraft Story Mode project for Netflix. The Walking Dead team was also laid off and the game will not be completed and it’ll end after the second episode launches next week. While the company’s games have been popular, these didn’t translate into sales, forcing Telltale Games to shut down. You can read the full statement from the company under the cut.

We’re getting a ‘Stranger Things’ video game in the future

Netflix

Telltale Games, who has worked on game adaptations of shows like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, confirmed at E3 that they are working on a Stranger Things game. The game developer first commented its delight on the positive response to the idea of Minecraft: Story Mode coming to Netflix as an interactive adventure. And then they added that there will be a Stranger Things game coming to consoles and the PC at a later date. We might expect the game to have the same narrative-focused gameplay with the player moving the story forward themselves. We’re going to have to wait to get more details. Hopefully, we hear more about it soon.
