We’ve told you about the now-released Tales from the Borderlands sequel which came about the time we heard about The Wolf Among Us sequel. The original game was an episodic graphic adventure by Telltale games. The original game you may find hard to believe is about a decade old. The premise of the game is based on a series of stories by Bill Willingham called Fables comics. The game is also sort of a prequel to the events in Willingham’s story.
If we look at the official website we find we return as Bigsby. He’s also known as The Big Bad Wolf. Bigsby has the role of Fable town’s sheriff. The events of The Wolf Among Us 2 are just a few months after the original game. What we know is according to the game’s description the following. “It’s winter in New York City and a new case threatens to cross the line between Fabletown and the NYPD. How you choose to approach it could determine the future of the Fable community.”
When The Wolf Among Us 2 Is Out
They originally gave a 2023 release window. Though Jamie Ottilie, the CEO of Telltale Games told IGN that has to change. It seems from his statement the game isn’t going to be ready
Making games is difficult and they need time to be right. And it doesn’t do any of us any good to ship something that’s not ready.
Also according to the article, they have shifted the development from Unreal Engine 4. The game will now take advantage of Unreal Engine 5. Though even with the benefits of the features of the new engine, it causes delays. They have to redo parts of the game they have already done in the older engine. Completely understandable when you factor in it’s a new engine. And they want the best game possible and the staff to not suffer with crunch because of it.
If we put this game out and it’s not ready, we’re going to get torn to shreds. The expectations are pretty high, and we want time to meet those and we want to be proud of it and know that, ‘Hey, this is the best game we could have made.
I’ve done [crunch], and I don’t want to do it again, and it’s not fair to ask it…We don’t want to burn out our good people…It’s not how you build a business. And as an industry, we’re terrible about it. We burn our people out. We burn our best people out faster. And as an industry, if we’re going to continue to grow…we just have to stop doing it and make better choices.
So it’s legitimate and understandable reasons for a delay. However what about you? If you enjoyed the first game we’d love to hear your thoughts. So why not get in touch and let us know what you think?
