Sequel to the detective noir adventure
The Wolf Among Us 2 (2023) is an episodic graphic adventure game developed by Telltale Games and AdHoc Studio. It is the sequel to the 2013 game The Wolf Among Us and continues the story of Bigby Wolf, who fans of DC Comics and the Fables comic book series may recognize.
Gameplay follows the established Telltale format, with players making dialogue choices and other decisions that can impact the way the story develops. It shares similarities with other Telltale games, including The Walking Dead.
An episodic graphic adventure
The Wolf Among Us 2 is divided into multiple episodes, all with an underlying detective noir theme. It is set in 1980s New York City and features a cast of characters inspired by fairytales and fables, with examples including Snow White, The Three Little Pigs, and Beauty and the Beast.
Gameplay is controlled from a third-person perspective and sees players navigate a variety of settings, interact with other characters, and make decisions that impact how the story plays out.
Comic book-inspired crime story
This sequel takes place six months after the events of the first game, and the player reassumes the role of Bigby Wolf, the sheriff of the hidden Fabletown community in New York City. Like its predecessor, The Wolf Among Us 2 is set almost 20 years before the events of the Fables comic book series.
The Wolf Among Us games are often compared to The Walking Dead, but they excel in slightly different areas. It features a new criminal case that must be solved. The Wolf Among Us 2 has more engaging gameplay elements, but The Walking Dead offers superior emotional involvement.
An engaging and welcome sequel
The Wolf Among Us 2 reintroduces players to the Bigby Wolf character and provides an engaging episodic story, which will appeal to fans of the first game and Telltale Games enthusiasts in general.
