Development on a sequel to The Wolf Among Us has been a long and winding road, with the game being restarted at least twice. A new rumor claims that The Wolf Among Us 2 is now in co-development with an unnamed studio in Argentina and could be released as early as 2027. If true, this would mark the second time the project has been restarted from scratch.
The original game, developed by Telltale Games, was first announced in 2017. However, development was paused in 2018 when Telltale shut down. The studio was revived in 2019, and development on the sequel resumed before the end of that year. Initially, it was set to arrive in 2023, but this timeline was pushed back as the studio moved to build the game on Unreal Engine 5.
In 2024, Telltale provided a glimpse into the game with some screenshots, and later confirmed that it was still working on the project. However, since then, there has been little information about its progress. A former member of the Telltale team, Nick Herman, who went on to co-found AdHoc Studio, shared insights into the project's development. According to Herman, AdHoc had agreed to work on The Wolf Among Us 2 alongside Telltale, but they had to move on to other projects due to financial constraints.
The new rumor from PressOver suggests that the game is now being co-developed with a studio in Argentina and could be released in 2027. It also hints at the possibility of an 'enhanced version' of the first game, possibly a remaster, being released alongside or before the sequel.
While the rumor adds a layer of intrigue to the game's development history, it is important to approach it with caution. Telltale has been known for its lack of official communications, and rumors about this project have been circulating for years without concrete updates. If the rumor proves accurate, it would mark a significant milestone for the franchise, but until then, fans will continue to wait.
