"The Wolf Among Us 2" is now officially slated for a 2027 release window, bringing Bigby Wolf back for a long-awaited sequel confirmed during Summer Game Fest 2026.
Telltale Games announced that "The Wolf Among Us 2" will launch in 2027 on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, as well as PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and the next-generation "Switch 2" hardware.
The confirmation ends years of uncertainty around the project, which was first revealed in 2019 and repeatedly delayed amid studio restructuring and development setbacks. Publishing support is being provided by PM Studios, which is partnering with Telltale on both the sequel and a remaster of the original game.
The new trailer shown at Summer Game Fest 2026 revealed that Bigby Wolf returns as the central playable character, continuing his story in Fabletown after the events of the first game, according to 80LV.

Early details describe a dark murder mystery involving six brutal homicides tied to a mysterious monster threatening the community, with player choices once again shaping the narrative. Telltale stated that the sequel preserves the studio's choice-driven structure while updating visuals and presentation for modern platforms.
Ahead of the sequel, Telltale is preparing "The Wolf Among Us Remastered," scheduled for Holiday 2026 on the same platforms.
The remaster will refresh the 2013 original with enhanced visuals and added content, giving new players a way to catch up and returning players an updated version of Bigby's first case. Telltale and PM Studios framed the remaster and sequel as a coordinated effort to relaunch the series after a prolonged hiatus.
Reports earlier in 2026 indicated that "The Wolf Among Us 2" had undergone at least one major restart, with development effectively rebooted to address internal production issues, Game Reactor reported.
Project Team's Direction Shift
A March 2026 article citing sources familiar with the project suggested the team shifted direction after a difficult period, contributing to the extended gap between the initial announcement and this new 2027 window.
Telltale has not detailed specific staffing or pipeline changes publicly, but used its Summer Game Fest appearance to emphasize that active development is ongoing.
The sequel's 2027 timeframe aligns with earlier industry reports that pointed to a multi-year schedule following the latest restart. With an official window, confirmed platforms, and a remaster dated for late 2026, Telltale has provided its most concrete roadmap yet for Bigby's return to Fabletown.
Pricing has not been announced, and Telltale has not confirmed whether "The Wolf Among Us 2" will follow a fully episodic rollout or a single packaged release, as per TheGamerzTheory.
