JAKARTA - It has been more than two years since the development process, the developer of Telltale Games announced that the launch of its newest sequel entitled The Wolf Among Us 2 will be postponed until next year.
The game was originally scheduled to be released around the beginning of 2023, but as it wanted to make the game perfect, the developer in a statement shared on Twitter decided to postpone it.
We have made a difficult decision to postpone The Wolf Among Us 2 from 2023. We started working on this in 2020 and we are still determined to tell the story of Bigby which is ongoing and other Fabletown gangs. However, it will take more time, " wrote the studio, quoted Friday, March 3.
