Telltale Games announced a second season of The Wolf Among Us: A Telltale Games Series, their episodic adventure game series based on Bill Willingham's 'Fables' comic book series, is set to debut in 2018.

With overwhelming popular demand from fans since the series concluded in 2014, Telltale surprised their fans today in an announcement video from the cast and crew confirming that the project is coming in the year ahead. Though this new season has not yet been officially titled, it will debut in the second half of 2018 across all major gaming consoles and mobile gaming devices.

Hey Mundies,

We’re here with some news: The Wolf Among Us 2, based on Bill Willingham’s award-winning Fables comic book series from DC’s Vertigo imprint, will now launch in 2019, rather than the latter half of 2018. This delay comes as the result of a few fundamental changes here at Telltale since we first announced the game last summer.

Most importantly, we're committed to exploring new ways to tell our stories. Taking this extra time will allow us not only to focus on quality but also to experiment and iterate in order to craft something truly special.

Ultimately our goal is to deliver an experience deserving of the passion you’ve consistently shown for The Wolf Among Us, and these extra months will give us the time we need to do our best work. We’re extremely enthusiastic about how the game is progressing so far, and we can’t wait to dig even deeper.

Still, we know we’ve just made a long wait even longer, which is why we sincerely appreciate your patience. We’ll have more Wolf news for you later this year, and for now, you can follow us on Twitter and Facebook to ensure you’re always up to date. Thanks...and see you around.

A consistent New York Times bestseller, Fables was created by Bill Willingham and became one of DC Entertainment's longest-running series, published under its Vertigo imprint from 2002 to 2015. With over a dozen Eisner Awards -- including Best Writer, Best New Series, and numerous wins for Best Serialized Story -- the Fables universe has become one of the richest mythologies in the world of comics, imagining that characters from the world's most beloved storybooks are real and living among us with all of their powers intact.

The second season of The Wolf Among Us: A Telltale Games Series will be a standalone product separate from season one and is licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The second season will be available for download on Xbox One, PS4, PC, Mac, iOS, and Android-based devices. Additional platforms are yet to be announced.
