Potential bad news for The Wolf Among Us 2 as new rumor suggests it has been quietly cancelled

An insider source has shared a concerning rumor about the future of The Wolf Among Us 2. The planned sequel was announced in 2017 and then again in 2019, and news since then has been sparse from the developers at Telltale Games. It’s been over 11 years since the release of the original game, and the Telltale team isn’t doing well.

According to a source with inside information at Telltale Games, The Wolf Among Us 2 May be in danger of cancellation due to lack of funding. The original post has since been removed from Reddit but can be read on NeoGAFand says that there are initial discussions about “Whether they can realistically continue development.“Although the title has not been officially canceled yet, rumor has it that”The situation looks grim.“

The Wolf Among Us 2’s Potential Cancellation Reflects Telltale Games’ Recent Struggles

The studio is almost closed in 2018

Telltale Games has perfected the episodic “choose your own adventure” style genre, with Many great story adventure games in its portfolio. The wolf among us is based on the Twisted Fairy Tale comic book series by Bill Willingham and is a great stylistic fit for the series, but the studio has also covered popular franchises including The Walking Dead, Batman, And Minecraft.

Unfortunately, the same success led to financial troubles, because the studio took other big franchise names from companies that demanded and protected their IPs, making development time-consuming and difficult. As a result, Telltale Games fired nearly its entire team in 2018.

The studio reopened in 2019, releasing the final season of The Walking Dead Franchise, announced The Wolf Among Us 2, And then it was quiet again. There are no new games from Telltale since 2019, And now it seems that The Wolf Among Us 2 May suffer the same fate as the studio’s other canceled titles.

We will be disappointed, but not surprised, if The Wolf Among Us 2 is cancelled

Unfortunately, this could also mean the end of the studio

It is always good to see any rumor as potentially false information, but in this case, it seems that, unfortunately, the information is probably true. Telltale Games has created some stylistic, emotional and well-crafted games, And it’s a real shame to see them potentially fail.

However, the studio has already escaped closure once, and the current team is made up of mostly newcomers. This, combined with the lack of new games over the past five years, all point to the end of an era for Telltale. I would be thrilled to see the studio come back from the brink again and release triumphantly The Wolf Among Us 2, But as of right now, that seems incredibly unlikely.
