It looks like we’ll be getting some details about The Walking Dead: Season Two tomorrow, if this teaser from Telltale Games’ Twitter is any indication. Expect news at 3 p.m. EDT. Telltale had earlier said to expect a new season this fall.
Based on the award-winning Fables comic book series by Bill Willingham (published by DC Comics‘ Vertigo imprint), The Wolf Among Us is a dark, often brutally violent, and mature take on the characters and creatures of fairytale and legend.
Driven from their homelands, the Fables hide from the mundane world in New York City. Over a season of episodic content, the player will experience what it’s like to be Bigby Wolf (THE Big Bad Wolf), Sheriff of Fabletown.
An evolution of Telltale‘s ground-breaking choice and consequence game mechanics will ensure the player learns that even as the Big Bad Wolf, life in the big bad city is bloody, terrifying and dangerous
