Most players that have been paying attention to Telltale Games would likely agree that the studio has had a bit of a tumultuous couple of years. In September of 2018, players saw Telltale performing mass layoffs that ultimately resulted in the developer shutting down. This lead to the cancellation of many of the games the studio had in development, includingThe Walking Dead: The Final Seasonwhich was actively releasing episodes. Afterward, bearing the same name, a new company with its assets was born.
Thenew Telltale games was rebornand resumed production on many of its projects, includingThe Wolf Among Us 2.The Walking Dead: The Final Seasonfinished its season of three episodes and the new Telltale was able to maintain the rights to several of its previous properties likeBatmanandThe Wolf Among Us.

It’s likely that because of these shaky few years that fans were surprised whenTelltale announced at the 2019 Game Awardsthat the first new game it was working on wasThe Wolf Among Us 2. While the original had a bit of a cult following behind it, the game didn’t perform well financially in comparison to Telltale’s other properties likeThe Walking Dead,Borderlands,orGame of Thrones. But since this announcement, players have been feverishly attempting to figure out when they’ll be able to pick up on Bigby Wolf’s latest adventure.
The Wolf Among Us 2 Release Date
While an official release date hasn’t been announced forThe Wolf Among Us 2, there are a few things that can be gleaned to provide players a general release window. For one, it was revealed after the game was announced thatThe Wolf Among Us 2had begun development from scratch, rather than what Telltale had begun production with onThe Wolf Among Us Season 2in 2017. In general, it seems that the game development cycle takes anywhere between two to three years before a game sees launch.
While this information would suggest that players likely wouldn’t seeThe Wolf Among Us 2until 2022, other sources seem to indicate that the sequel is coming even earlier. A leak from one Reddit user that seems familiar with Telltale’s dealings indicated thatThe Wolf Among Us 2will be coming in 2021. This user also stated that production was running smoothly as the new Telltale has been working to eliminate crunch from its culture. However, the Reddit user kept their identity anonymous, so it might be difficult to verify the accuracy of these claims.
Unfortunately, this is as much information players have been provided forThe Wolf Among Us 2’s release date goes. While this isn’t a lot to go off of, it might be safe to assume that the sequel will launch in late 2021 or early 2022, especially since Telltale has a history of releasing the first episode of a season near the end of the calendar year. Jun 14, 2025, will mark the 8 year anniversary of the original game’s release, and while there’s nothing particularly significant about the number 8, there’s always the possibilityThe Wolf Among Us 2could release around the same time.
