In a stream hosted by Game Awards showrunner Geoff Keighley today, Telltale confirmed the year it’s aiming for and showed off a new trailer. Over dialogue of Bigby discussing recent events, and his own internal struggles, we see him dealing with some very familiar Oz characters. Safe to say, they’re not in Kansas anymore.

In , a few more story details were confirmed. The Wolf Among Us 2 takes place about six months after the events of the first game. It sounds like the relationship between Snow White and Bigby will be a bit strained, with the latter working as a private investigator. And there’s a new character, a human New York detective named Faye Leung, who gets tangled up in whatever’s afoot in this new mystery.
The Wolf Among Us 2 is coming from the revived Telltale Games, which was brought back by LCG Entertainment in 2019. Alongside the new story set in Fabletown, Telltale also discussed its upcoming series on . Telltale is working with Life is Strange: True Colors developer Deꦉck Nine and Alcon Interactive 𝔍Group on that particular adventure.
While it’s still a ways off, the style and tone of the new Wolf Among Us seems solid. As for what mysteries await, we’ll see what’s in store for Bigby and his “anger issues” in 2023.
