This absolutely made my night.

“ The Wolf Among Us 2 is the first new game to be announced since the purchase and is licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on behalf of DC. The game will initially be released for PC as an Epic Games Store exclusive, and on consoles.

“The Wolf Among Us is one of the most beloved titles in the Telltale catalog, so we are thrilled to announce that development on Wolf 2 has again started and assure all of the series’ fans that it is in good hands,” said Jamie Ottilie, the CEO of LCG Entertainment/Telltale, in a statement. “Partnering with AdHoc Studio enables us to work with many of the key creative and development talent from the original Wolf series while strategically growing the new Telltale.”

Returning to work on The Wolf Among Us 2 via AdHoc are directors Nick Herman and Dennis Lenart, along with writer Pierre Shorette. Also returning are the award-winning voice actors, Adam Harrington as Bigby Wolf, and Erin Yvette as Snow White and composer Jared Emerson-Johnson. Additionally, Telltale Games’ former vice president of engineering, Zac Litton, has joined the new Telltale team as chief technology officer.

The Wolf Among Us 2 storyline comes after the events of the first, but it is still a prequel to the events of DC’s (Vertigo) Fables graphic novels.”

Telltale confirms it will make The Wolf Among Us 2

LCG Entertainment, doing business as Telltale, has confirmed that The Wolf Among Us 2 has been revived and is again in development.

Fuck yeah

 

[Husky]

Back from the dead, and yes you know the name. Bigby Wolf is back, fresh after Telltale's acquisition by LCG Entertainment, in the un-cancelled sequel to one of Telltale's most beloved games. Oh, mercy me.
We haven't much footage, but care not, friends. For we are blessed.

 

[dottme]

ho. ADHOC studio is behind it. I don’t know them.

[HUELEN10]

Sounds like original VAs to me though at least.

 

[Arachnid]

Hell yeah!

 

[iorek21]

I'll confess, I almost cried

EviLore I dunno who the other mods are so imma @ you. Should this thread be locked? I was beaten by a few seconds

(edit: this post was made on another thread pre-merge, for any confused )

 

[Pallas]

Duuuuude, I’m so happy this is getting a sequel. I really loved the first game!

No worries, merged.

ADHOC are a studio of ex TTG devs from the layoff earlier this year. This is a good sign a lot of the original Wolf 2 team is probably working on this again.

 

[iorek21]

EGS exclusive??????

Oh jeez

 

[Vampire On Titus]

Original The Wolf Among Us free on EGS right now.

 

[Husky]

EGS exclusive??????

Oh jeez

god hecking damn it

 

[Stuart360]

Had the orig game on Steam for years, still havent played it yet lol.

 

[Maybe It's Medicine?]

Probably the most exciting trailer released tonight. First game was great and this means we might actually get another entry in their Batman series.

 

[Vampire On Titus]

Sounds like original VAs to me though at least.

At least in the case of Bigby & Snow, They're confirmed. I'm sure Melissa Hutchison will be back as Beauty, too.
Via an IGN Article:

AdHoc's Nick Herman and Dennis Lenart will serve as directors, while Pierre Shorette will be a writer on the project. Adam Harrington will return to voice Bigby Wolf, while Erin Yvette is reprising her role as Snow White. Jared Emerson-Johnson is back as composer.

Hey uh, think our chances of a Game of Thrones 2 are good? Cuz they fuckin left us on a big cliffhanger.

 

[Vampire On Titus]

I wouldn't say so. If you look at the current TellTale Game's website you can see which properties they still have the licences to. They currently still have Batman, Fables, Hector Badge of Carnage and Puzzle Agent. So barring some new developments I'd say another Batman is the most likely. But I'm hoping for an original IP.

Also from the impression I've gotten reading about the new management, it seems they're taking it slow. They've said TWAU 2 wont be until 2021, at the earliest. They also don't seem quite as keen to jump from license to license but we'll see.

 

[plushyp]

thanks friend <3

EviLore not your daddy anymore?

Sorry, this will never get old for me looool

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

GREAT NEWS .

The first game is great, like 9 because is a quite short, but the music and voice act is wonderful.

 

[TheGreatYosh]

I'm happy to see it return. The Wolf Among Us is the best Telltale game.

 

[Pallas]

Hey uh, think our chances of a Game of Thrones 2 are good? Cuz they fuckin left us on a big cliffhanger.

I would like to see a sequel to that as well, I thought it was start well written. Shit I’d love another Tales from the borderlands too, tbh.

 

[Husky]

omg never forget

 

[gela94]

Great news, I really enjoyed the first.

 

[lyan]

EGS exclusive??????

Oh jeez

well in this particular case the epic money probably play a part for it to resume development

 

[TeamGhobad]

love the blade runner feel

 

[The Shepard]

Excellent news! Really liked the first one. I even rebrought it on PS4 to replay just before for the second part was released, then it was cancelled.

Tales of borderlands was excellent as well.

 

[down 2 orth]

Whoa, what the hell

 

[Liftplus]

Cool that they announced Wolf among us 2 when they're giving the first one for free.

 

[mejin]

I miss Telltale and can't wait for this.

 

[GC_DALBEN]

Niceeee, i loved the first one, cant wait to play

 

[Gamezone]

This has EGS exclusivity written all over it, as they are giving the first game away for free.

 

[HaveButOneLife]

Let's hope all previous development hasn't been scrapped and they're just picking up right where they left off.

 

[Gamezone]

The final season of The Walking Dead from Telltale wasn't even a timed EGS exclusive. This will never hit Steam, right?

 

[Husky]

The Walking Dead's Steam removal wasn't Telltale's decision though, that was all Skybound (who completed development of the game).

 

[Harlock]

Great comic and they did a fucking good job in the first game.

 

[Fbh]

This was right next to Tales from the Borderlands as the best stuff Telltale made, so it's nice to see it back, specially if a lot of the writing team from the original is back

 

[Murr]

Loved the first part. I wonder what the chances are, that this will come to the switch? These Interactive fiction type games fit the system so well.

 

[Sakura Doritos]

Thank goodness. The original is so good.

 

[Gamezone]

The Walking Dead's Steam removal wasn't Telltale's decision though, that was all Skybound (who completed development of the game).

So who made the decision about this game? I see WB is listed as publishers, which makes me concerned about upcoming games from them.

Must be WB then. Aw geez, so they're taking the Epic money too...
Probably timed-exclusive.

I guess Ubisoft, Deep Silver and WB now are stuck with Epic.

 

[VanEs]

This is great news. My absolute favorite telltale game.

 

[Farawayfromhell]

A big YES.

 

[TimFL]

I wonder if we can import our season 1 savegames into this one. Held onto all of them on the platforms I own the first game on.

 

[VFXVeteran]

Now I gotta go back and play the first one. Didn't know it was that good.

 

[HUELEN10]

Now I gotta go back and play the first one. Didn't know it was that good.

It’s one of the 8th gen's 10 must-play game’s as far as I’m concerned; it’s a masterpiece.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Really enjoyed the first one, so I am all in on this one!
