The devs open up about what's new and what stayed the same in The Wolf Among Us 2.
At Gamescom this year, I got to check out The Wolf Among Us 2, the long-awaited sequel to one of Telltale’s best games, and, naturally, one of the best games of all time. It’s been a long 13 years since the first title came out, and a lot has happened between then and now, but, as the devs opened the conversation up, it’s only been six months in-universe.
“[It’s been] roughly six months. But yeah, it’s enough time that you can see how the events of the first game have shaped what’s going on now and how things have played out. But not so much time that you’re separated from that part of the experience. It’s a true sequel that follows the first game,” the devs said.
“All the events that played out are still fresh in [the characters’] memory.”
I immediately jumped at the opportunity to dig for answers about the first game’s ambiguous ending, which, despite community efforts, has never been resolved. I asked whether the “echoes” of the first game are still felt, which, depending on player choices, could have turned very, very violent by the end of the game.
But the devs didn’t want to reveal too much.
“In terms of how we’re reflecting your choices or not, we haven’t discussed how it may or may not impact your influence or story here. But given that it’s a direct sequel, and they’re the same characters, and some of them were there. Dot, dot, dot.”
In the hands-off preview, Bigby Wolf was investigating an apartment with Faye, a detective working a case to which Wolf was assigned. Faye is a mundy, meaning a regular human who isn’t at all aware of Fables or magic in New York. In one situation, Wolf can choose to reveal the world of magic to her or keep it a secret, which is a cool moment that explores the choice-and-consequence system of the game.
