Introduction
The Wolf Among Us, originally released in 2013 by Telltale Games as a five-episode episodic adventure based on Bill Willingham's Fables comic series, is returning in two major forms.
Ahead of a full sequel slated for 2027, Telltale has confirmed a remaster of the 2013 original will arrive this holiday season.
Both projects were referenced during Summer Game Fest and have since received platform confirmation from the developer.
Background and context
Telltale Games first launched The Wolf Among Us in 2013 across PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and mobile platforms, establishing the studio as a leader in narrative-driven, episodic games.
After a period of corporate restructuring and relaunch, Telltale has rebuilt its development slate and returned to one of its best-known properties.
The studio announced its long-awaited sequel in 2019 and provided a more concrete release window during Summer Game Fest, naming 2027 as the target year for The Wolf Among Us 2.
Platform confirmation and publisher statement
Previously, the trailer rollout did not specify all supported hardware.
In a clear update, Telltale Games has confirmed that both the remastered edition of the original 2013 episodic adventure and the 2027 sequel will launch on Nintendo Switch and the Switch 2.
Rewriting that confirmation in journalistic terms: Telltale has stated both the remaster and its sequel are planned for release on Nintendo Switch and on the next-generation Switch 2 platform.
Release timing and availability
Telltale attached a 2027 release year to The Wolf Among Us 2 when last discussed at Summer Game Fest.
The remaster is scheduled for release this holiday season ahead of the sequel.
The studio has not yet published a detailed platform-specific release calendar or eShop listing dates for the remaster or sequel; consumers should expect official storefront pages and pre-order information to follow from Telltale and Nintendo.
Why it matters
Confirming Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 support brings both titles to a broad handheld and hybrid audience, preserving access to Telltale's story-driven gameplay on Nintendo hardware.
For fans of the original 2013 episodes and newcomers alike, the remaster will act as the canonical lead-in to The Wolf Among Us 2, while the 2027 sequel represents Telltale's continued investment in narrative franchises.
What to watch next
Watch for formal release dates, regional eShop listings, and system-specific features from Telltale Games and Nintendo.
Further details will likely arrive through official channels such as Summer Game Fest follow-ups, Nintendo Directs, and announcements from Telltale as development progresses.
