The Wolf Among Us 2 has not been cancelled, despite recent rumours to the contrary.

Earlier today, a whistleblower claimed development of The Wolf Among Us 2 was in peril, and the team at Telltale were at a “critical point where they might have no choice but to shelve it”.

Now, in a statement shared with Eurogamer, Telltale has assured us that work on the game continues on.

“As a rule, we don’t comment on rumours and unsubstantiated reddit threads,” a Telltale PR told us. “But development on The Wolf Among Us 2 continues and we’re excited to share more about the game with Telltale fans and our community when the time is right.”

The Wolf Among Us 2 – again set in the world of Bill Willingham’s Fables comics – was originally announced back in 2017, but development halted when Telltale Games faced significant lay-offs, and was shuttered in 2018.

That appeared to be the end for the sequel, however, a little less than a year later, it was announced Telltale was being resurrected under new management – a surprise development that would eventually see The Wolf Among Us 2 re-announced, with the project starting in pre-production.
