Followers of Bigby Wolf will probably be glad to know {that a} murky report from the depths of Reddit (since deleted) has been refuted. Developer Telltale insists that the long-suffering The Wolf Amongst Us 2 is just not in peril of being scrapped and that the sport will probably be out when it is good and prepared. Nonetheless, one thing is beginning to really feel off.
As Eurogamer chronicles, an alleged whistleblower managed to get the eye of the builders themselves, claiming that Telltale was at a “essential level the place they could don’t have any alternative however to shelve [The Wolf Among Us 2].” They claimed that the sport is in critical hazard as a result of finances constraints, that “the studio has been combating funding for some time, and there are inner discussions about whether or not they can realistically proceed improvement”.
Telltale refuted the report, offering Eurogamer with the next assertion: “As a rule, we do not touch upon rumours and unsubstantiated Reddit threads. However improvement on The Wolf Amongst Us 2 continues, and we’re excited to share extra concerning the sport with Telltale followers and our neighborhood when the time is correct.”
We sift via this type of factor for a residing. Usually, we might put the preliminary hearsay straight within the “belief me, bro” pile. A few issues give us pause, nonetheless. Telltale, in its authentic incarnation, did financially implode, unable to make the episodic narrative factor work. We have seen little success beneath new house owners LCG Leisure, and Telltale did determine to refute this minor Reddit story reasonably shortly.
On this new type, Telltale launched Batman: Shadows Version in 2019 and The Expanse (which we preferred) in August of 2023, which in all probability didn’t do properly financially, because the staff suffered a spherical of layoffs shortly afterwards. No matter is happening with The Wolf Amongst Us 2, we won’t think about Telltale is at the moment making financial institution or sitting on a variety of money, as that’s the whole of its releases in recent times. We bought some screenshots in April, however it’s now late October, and we have not had as a lot as a trailer. The venture has already been delayed beneath LCG Leisure, and we nonetheless do not have a launch date. Contemplating all that, we’d not be stunned if a cancellation announcement was forthcoming within the present trade local weather, no matter what the studio says.
