When The Wolf Among Us 2 was re-announced five years ago, many had hoped that the game would finally have smooth development cycle on the road to launch, but it has hit a number of significant stumbles behind-the-scenes since that time, and that launch has continued to be pushed back. Recently, developer Telltale Games broke months of silence on the game by sharing four new gameplay screenshots, accompanying which, the developer has also issued a brief statement.
On the official Telltale forums, the studio has provided assurances that “the work continues” on The Wolf Among Us 2, and that it has been quietly focusing on continued development- but that it can’t share a “big update” on how the project is progressing just yet.
“We’ve been quiet because we’ve been heads down, focusing on the promise of The Wolf Among Us 2,” Telltale wrote. “While we can’t give a big update yet, here’s a little something for you: In-progress shots from the current build. The work continues.”
The Wolf Among Us 2 was originally meant to launch in 2023, but Telltale Games announced in March of last year that it was shifting engines and moving over to Unreal Engine 5, and that the game, as such, was being delayed to 2024. Whether that’s still the plan remains unclear.
In October, Telltale Games laid off number of its employees, but said that The Wolf Among Us 2 was “still in production.” Promptly afterwards, however, former employees who had been let go stated that “most of” the game’s development team had been impacted by the layoffs.
