The Wolf Among Us FAQ

What is The Wolf Among Us?
It is an episodic game based on Bill Willingham's Fables comics, set in Fabletown, a hidden refuge for Fables in New York City. It is a prequel, set before the first issue, and is said by Mr. Willingham to be in canon with the comics. The player character will be the sheriff Bigby Wolf, and it will include Fables favorites like Snow White and Colin, one of the three little pigs. It will also star original Fables created by Telltale for this game.

What kind of game will this be?
It will be a game about choices, similar to The Walking Dead, with action sequences. The choices in this game relate to Bigby's wolf side, and how he treats the people he meets and those he has to protect. There will be more freedom in the choices this time. You will be able to choose where to go in some instances, and the events will happen in real time. So, the other event will still play out regardless of whether or not you are there. The action will be more directly controlled this time. Bigby will get into brawls, and since he is a Fable, the fights will be more over the top than they could be with someone like Lee from The Walking Dead.

When will the game be released?
It is scheduled for summer 2013. That's summer in the United States, so between June 21 and September 22.

What systems will it be available for?
The game will be released for PC, Mac, on the Playstation 3 through PSN, and on Xbox 360 through XBLA.

Will it be episodic?
Yes. Like most of Telltale's other games, it will be released in episodes. The way this works is each individual episode contains an individual part of a story that is held together through a narrative that connects all of the episodes together into what Telltale calls a season. Think along the lines of a serialized television series such as Lost.

What is the time frame for episode releases?
No time frame has yet been announced. However, Telltale is known for releasing their episodes in a timely fashion, typically with only a one or two month wait between episodes.

Will Bill Willingham be involved with the game?
Bill Willingham reached a deal with Telltale to help direct the story of the game, and to make sure the characters and story stay true to the greater Fables universe.

What languages are the game available in?
Right now, only English has been announced.

Will there be a DVD version from the Telltale store?
This hasn't been decided yet.
