Summary
After nearly ten years following the concluding fifth episode of Telltale Games’The Wolf Among Us,The Wolf Among Us 2is finally slated for a 2024 release.The Wolf Among Us 2was originally expected to be released in 2018 but was canceled due to internal challenges at Telltale that resulted in a widespread closure. The developer andThe Wolf Among Uswere later reacquired by LCG Entertainment, and the sequel to the hugely successful episodic adventure is now being developed by both Telltale Games and AdHoc Studio.
The game has gone through an extremely difficult development cycle, and those issues persisted even into 2023 when it was announced thatThe Wolf Among Us 2would be delayed to 2024. Thankfully, the game is still on track for a 2024 release, but a specific release date has yet to be disclosed by the developer. In order to predict a possible release date forThe Wolf Among Us 2, several factors must be considered.
Predicting The Wolf Among Us 2’s Release Date
Telltale’s Recent Layoffs Will Likely Prevent an Early 2024 Release
Recent years have been no stranger to layoffs, especially those in the gaming industry — an unfortunate reality that Telltale has not been able to avoid.The Wolf Among Us 2was first set for a March 2023 release but was delayed to 2024 to implement the use of Unreal Engine 5 as opposed to Unreal Engine 4. Then, in September 2023, the developer announced thatmost of the team working onThe Wolf Among Us 2were laid offin light of “market conditions.”
While Telltale might have originally been able to releaseThe Wolf Among Us 2in early 2024, that seems rather unlikely now. Not only has the game already been delayed, but the layoffs at the company will certainly not helpThe Wolf Among Us 2’s development. This, and the developer’s release history, will most likely push the release ofThe Wolf Among Us 2to the latter half of 2024.
Telltale Tends to Favor a Fall Release Window for Its Games
Considering the rocky road thatThe Wolf Among Us 2has had to travel and the possibility of it releasing in late 2024, it’s worth examining Telltale’s release history to speculate on a possible release date for the anticipated sequel. Telltale has been known to favor a fall release window for many of its past titles, which typically release between October and December.
While the list of the above-mentioned games does not include every Telltale game, they are some of the developer’s biggest releases and can assist in predicting a release date forThe Wolf Among Us 2. Since beingreacquired by LCG, Telltalehas releasedBatman: Shadows EditionandThe Expanse: A Telltale Series, which were released on June 19, 2025, and June 18, 2025, respectively. Since it’s unlikely thatThe Wolf Among Us 2will followThe Expanseand be released in the summer of 2024 due to such an extreme shift in development and the recent layoffs, it’s sensible to expectThe Wolf Among Us 2to release sometime in December 2024, especially when considering the developer’s release history.
The Wolf Among Us 2has yet to be given a specific release date for 2024, and with the internal issues the developer has experienced, the game could be pushed even beyond this year. However, barring its successful development, it seems thatTelltale’s next major episodic adventurewill be released near the end of 2024, hopefully simultaneously signifying a new era for the beloved developer.
