The Wolf Among Us Remastered is a subtle improvement of the original game, with Telltale focusing on retaining its look and feel while enhancing lighting, animations, and other aspects. The result is a new visual layer to a game with a timeless look thanks to its strong art direction. If you're unfamiliar with the source material, The Wolf Among Us adapts Fables, an award-winning comic book series that ran for 13 years and chronicled the exploits of a secret society of exiled fairy tale characters in New York.
A big hit for DC's Vertigo imprint, the series ran from 2002-2015 and made a short-lived comeback in 2022. The remastered game also includes extra content such as Noir Mode, deleted and extended scenes, and developer commentary. The game is launching at an attractive $25 price, with a launch-week discount and deeper savings if you already own the game.
Progress in The Wolf Among Us Remastered will also affect how the story plays out in The Wolf Among Us 2, but it's unclear if choices made in the original game will carry over. The Wolf Among Us is an all-time classic from the Telltale library, and the remaster looks like a fun way to relive that story--or experience it for the first time--before the big bad wolf huffs and puffs down the door for his return next year.
