The Wolf Among Us 2 is still in development, says Telltale, after having to remind the internet at large that "unsubstantiated Reddit threads" don't mean a game's getting shut down, no matter how bad things have looked in past years... Read more.

Days after Fables author Bill Willingham—whose work was adapted into Telltale's The Wolf Among Us—announced he had thrust the series into the public domain as a form of "asymmetric warfare" against DC Comics, the publisher has proclaimed that it still very much owns the rights... Read more.

Well this doesn't happen very often. Bill Willingham, creator of the Fablesuniverse which serves as the setting for Telltale's fondly remembered adventure game The Wolf Among Us, has placed the property in the public domain... Read more.

US author and artist Bill Willingham has rather dramatically announced that he is placing the Fables comicbook property in the public domain, including all Fables spin-offs and characters. This means that - pending a judgement from third-party legal experts, anyway - anyone can now create art of any kind set in the Fables universe. "What was once wholly owned by Bill Willingham is now owned by everyone, for all time," the author wrote on his Substack. "It's done, and as most experts will tell you, once done it cannot be undone. Take-backs are neither contemplated nor possible." You might recog

I was a big fan of classic TellTale, the studio that put out episodic adventure games on a conveyor belt. I'm not the new one in sheep’s clothing, because they haven’t released anything yet. Like many, I was especially drawn to The Wolf Among Us, a neo-noir murder mystery set in the same universe as the Fables graphic novels. It would have been quite poetic to return to the series ten years after its debut, but that’s not going to be paw-sibble, as new TellTale have announced that The Wolf Among Us 2 has been delayed out of 2023. There’s no new release window, but maybe it'll be ready in 2024.

The Wolf Among Us 2 has had a ruff (hah) development, to put it lightly. Surviving the catastrophic implosion of Telltale Games, last year’s edition of The Keighleys saw the creature wearing Telltale’s skin arise to confirm that the big bad sequel was still in development. Don’t get your hopes up for more news at tonight’s awards, mind – the devs today explained that while The Wolf Among Us is still happening, it’s not quite time to let this poor pup loose. (more…)

Happy love day, you disgusting piece of filth. Got you. That was an example of what today s young people call neggling . This is when you are nice and nasty in such quick succession that the body becomes inexplicably aroused. Spasms of lust take over both neggler and negglee, resulting in a paroxysm of extramarital sex and, subsequently, the degeneration of humanity. This is just one of the signs of an unhealthy rel

The Wolf Among Us is a fan-favorite Telltale adventure, originally released in five parts over 2013-14. A sequel—or "second season," in Telltale terminology—was in the works but ran aground, along with the studio as a whole, last year. At The Game Awards last night, though, it was brought back from the dead, and coincidentally or not (and I'm pretty sure it's not), the original is now free on the Epic Games Store. The Wolf Among Us joins The Escapists, which was announced yesterday as the usual Epic weekly freebie. The Epic edition includes all five episodes o

If you’ve not played The Wolf Among Us and so don’t quite get why folks are excited about last night’s news that the sequel is back in development, good news: you can now get the original for free. It’s the latest freebie offered by the Epic Games Store to overcome animosity, and it’s a good’un. We declared Telltale’s episodic urban fairytale detective story the best adventure of 2014, you know. (more…)

Oh, happy days! The Wolf Among Us 2 has survived the death of Telltale Games and is reborn with the studio’s kinda-sorta-not-really rebirth. The company wearing the skin of Telltale announced at The Game Awards tonight that yes, they will indeed resume the splendid moody detective story set in Bill Willingham’s comic book world of Fables. I don’t know about the new Telltale but we declared the original Wolfamongus the bestest best adventure game of 2014, so fingers crossed? Some of the old dev team are back, too. (more…)

The Wolf Among Us 2 was just announced at The Game Awards. Yep, it's happening, thank goodness. Details have been hazy on the sequel for some time and were thought squashed with the closure of Telltale Games, but the noir-tinged episodic series about fables living in a dour world will carry on.  It's something of a bittersweet relief. Telltale Games was effectively shuttered and reduced to a skeleton staff in September 2018 only to reopen in August 2019 under new management. A ton of employees lost their jobs and authorship over existing projects, of which The Wolf Among Us 2 wa

Telltale Games, the defunct developer behind the likes of The Walking Dead, Tales from the Borderlands, and The Wolf Among Us, is set to make a return - albeit in a substantially different form - following the announcement that holding company LCG Entertainment has secured Telltale's name and some of its licenses. As reported by Polygon, the new version of Telltale - overseen by Jamie Ottilie and Brian Waddle, founder and CEO of developer Galaxy Pest Control and ex-sales-and-marketing head for Havok respectively - will have the back-catalogue rights to The Wolf Among Us and Batman, alongside o

Telltale Games is (at least on paper) returning to business, as reported earlier today by Polygon. Holding company LCG Entertainment (run by industry veterans Jamie Ottilie and Brian Waddle) have bought up the studio name and some of their licensed properties after Telltale's messy closure last September left hundreds of staff displaced. Effectively a new studio with new management operating under an old name, the new Telltale will be based in Malibu, California, with plans to "stay small over the next six months". The immediately good news is that according to an interview with
