New Telltale confirms it's working on 'The Wolf Among Us 2'
Telltale's critically acclaimed title The Wolf Among Us will have a sequel even though the original studio no longer exists. The studio effectively shut down in 2018 when it laid off 225 out of 250 employees. A few months ago, though, holding company LCG Entertainment announced that it purchased Telltale's "key assets, trademarks, technology and select intellectual properties." Now, LCG has revealed that the The Wolf Among Us 2, which was previously canceled due to financial issues, is back in development. Even better? LCG is working with AdHoc Studio, a company made up of former Telltale employees, for its development.
