Telltale Games said the sequel video game "The Wolf Among Us 2" is scheduled for release in 2027 [1].
The announcement marks a critical step in the revival of a franchise that stalled after the original studio's collapse. For fans who have waited nearly a decade for a continuation of the story, the confirmed window provides a concrete timeline for one of the industry's most anticipated sequels.
The release window was revealed during the Summer Game Fest virtual event [3]. To bridge the gap until the sequel arrives, Telltale said a remastered version of the original game will launch in holiday 2026 [2].
The path to the sequel has been marked by significant corporate instability. Telltale Games first announced the second installment in 2017 [3], but the project was derailed when the company faced bankruptcy in 2018 [3]. The brand was later acquired by LCG Entertainment in 2019 [3].
Under the new ownership of LCG Entertainment, the project was revived to satisfy a long-awaiting player base [3]. The company is now positioning the remaster as a way to introduce new players to the series, while preparing the audience for the full sequel. The game will launch worldwide [3].
This development follows years of silence and uncertainty regarding the title's status. By pairing a 2026 remaster with a 2027 sequel, the studio is attempting to rebuild momentum for the intellectual property after the previous studio's failure.
“The Wolf Among Us 2 is scheduled for release in 2027.”
The staggered release of a remaster followed by a sequel is a strategic move to maximize revenue and player engagement. By refreshing the original title in 2026, LCG Entertainment can rebuild the active community and ensure the 2027 sequel launches with a modernized, expanded audience, mitigating the risk associated with a decade-long development gap.
