After nearly a decade of waiting, Bigby Wolf is coming back. At Summer Game Fest 2026, Telltale Games and PM Studios confirmed that The Wolf Among Us 2 will launch in 2027. And if you never got around to playing the original, there is good news for you too. A remastered version of the first game is coming this holiday season, ahead of the sequel.
Fans have been waiting a long time for this. A really long time.
A Game With a Complicated History
The Wolf Among Us 2 was first announced back in 2017. Then Telltale went under in 2018 and fans thought the whole thing was dead. When Telltale was revived in 2019, the sequel came with it, which was exciting. But the years that followed brought more delays than updates.
In 2023, development hit another snag when the game switched to Unreal Engine 5. Then Adhoc Studios, the co-developer made up of former Telltale staff, parted ways with the project. They went on to make Dispatch, their own superhero narrative game, which launched last year to solid reviews. Meanwhile, TWAU2 went very quiet.
That silence is now over.
What the New Trailer Shows
The new trailer shown at Summer Game Fest brings back Bigby Wolf, Fabletown’s gruff sheriff, as he gets pulled into another dark mystery. People are dying, a monster is on the loose, and Bigby is on the case.
The footage shows him questioning a pig and going head-to-head with a metal figure that looks a lot like the Tin Man. If you loved the dark fairy tale tone of the original, the trailer suggests the sequel is very much in the same world.
The game is being developed by Telltale and PM Studios, with DC Vertigo and Warner Bros also involved in production.
A Remaster to Bridge the Gap
Before the sequel drops, The Wolf Among Us Remastered is coming this holiday season. It covers the original 2013 episodic adventure and should work well for new players who want to catch up before part two arrives.
There is no exact release date yet, but it is confirmed for PC and consoles. Telltale also confirmed that both the remaster and the sequel will be available on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, making it one of the broader platform launches for the series.
Why This Matters
The Wolf Among Us built a devoted fanbase when it launched over a decade ago. It was based on the Fables comic book series and stood out for its strong writing and moody, noir-style atmosphere. For many players, it remains one of Telltale’s best work.
The sequel has been one of the most-wanted games in the industry for years. Every time a new update surfaced, it would trend. Every time it went quiet, people worried it was cancelled again.
Getting a proper release window, a trailer, and a confirmed platform list in one night is the kind of news this fanbase has been waiting years to get.
What to Do Now
If you have never played The Wolf Among Us, keep an eye on the remaster dropping later this year. It is the best possible way to get into the story before part two arrives.
If you are already a fan, now is a good time to go back and play through the original again. Revisit the choices you made. Remember what happened in Fabletown.
Either way, 2027 is looking a lot more interesting than it did yesterday.
