SDCC 2017: Telltale Reveals More ‘Batman’, ‘The Walking Dead’, The Wolf Among Us’ Incoming

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Wow.

Just when I was beginning to think that we’d never see another installation of The Wolf Among Us, Telltale Games has revealed that they have a ton of new content coming down the pipeline.

First up, they’ve revealed a new five part continuation of last year’s revered Batman series, entitled Batman: The Enemy Within, which will see its first episode launch everywhere on August 8th (with a disc version dropping in October).

In this latest chapter, both Bruce Wayne and Batman will be forced into precarious new roles. The Riddler has returned to terrorize Gotham City, but his gruesome puzzles merely foreshadow an even greater crisis. With the arrival of a ruthless federal agent and the return of a still nascent Joker, Batman must navigate uneasy alliances while Bruce Wayne undertakes a perilous series of deceptions. Which of Batman’s new allies will you choose to trust? And how deep into the darkness will you let Bruce descend?

Naturally, your choices from Batman‘s first season will carry over to the new game.

Next up, now that Walking Dead: The New Frontier has wrapped up (I’m behind, please don’t spoil it), the company has revealed that the game’s next iteration will (scarily) have the working title The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – The Final Season.

The new season is set to premiere sometime in 2018. I imagine that this isn’t the last Telltale iteration of The Walking Dead that we’ll ever see, but it sure does sound like this will be the end of Clementine’s tale. Telltale confirmed that this fourth and final season would focus on Clementine in the lead role, allowing players to fully step back into the shoes of the fan favorite character.

“It’s going to be an amazing experience. Thank you all so much, from the bottom of my heart,” said Melissa Hutchison, the award-winning actress who has been the voice of ‘Clementine’ since 2012. “It’s been a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, and so much love has been behind this whole experience. Good luck, I’ll be right there with you.”

I’m going to cry during every freaking episode, aren’t I? The first season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead remains one of my favourite games of all time.

The most surprising announcement of Telltale’s pre-SDCC reveal is the fact that a second season of The Wolf Among Us is now in development, and should see its debut in 2018.

Details on the title are all but non-existent at this point, but Telltale notes that “With overwhelming popular demand from fans since the series concluded in 2014, Telltale surprised their fans today in an announcement video from the cast and crew confirming that the project is coming in the year ahead. Though this new season has not yet been officially titled, it will debut in the second half of 2018 across all major gaming consoles and mobile gaming devices. This new season will begin a fresh story arc for its returning cast of characters, featuring the return of Adam Harrington as Bigby Wolf and Erin Yvette as Snow White.”

I loved the first season of the game (I can’t believe it finished three years ago), and with the way that the first game ended, I’m so, so happy that we’re set to see a continuation.

Telltale also debuted a ‘Nintendo Direct’ style Summer Update video to reveal all of the new projects. Take a look at the video below!

Watch A Fantastic 30 Minute Documentary All About Telltale Games!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: This is fantastic.

Telltale Games is quite possibly my favourite video game developers (it’s a toss-up between them and Nintendo).

The company uses such amazing properties to tell intense, resonating stories that are virtually unparalleled in the video game world. As hyped up as I can get about certain video game releases, absolutely nothing excites me more than a trip through the latest episode of a Telltale Games series.

I’ve always wondered just what goes into crafting some of their amazing titles, and apparently, so did Complex, as they’ve just released a 30-minute Telltale-focused documentary entitled Telltale Games: Story Mode.

Telltale is “not entirely sure how they did it, but they managed to condense over 10 years worth of history and over 100 episodes into a brisk 30 minute documentary that examines what it’s been like to work on these episodic games under one roof from San Rafael, California since 2004.”

It’s really an intriguing watch, so put down whatever you’re doing (yep, even Fallout 4, those settlements can wait), take a look at the documentary below, and let us know what you think!

Geekscape Comics: Preview This Week’s ‘Fables: The Wolf Among Us’ Physical Release!

by Derek Kraneveldt

I’m a big fan of DC’s Digital Firsts lineup of comics. Instead of having to wait a month to grab a new issue of some of my favourite books, I get a bite-sized chunk of each on my iPad each and every week. The way that the publisher staggers the content (new books in different series each day of the week) is also awesome; I have a beyond-busy schedule, but I can likely spare a few minutes for reading each day.

One of my favourite titles in the Digital Firsts line (aside from the always great Injustice: Gods Among Us) is Vertigo’s Fables: The Wolf Among Us. Last year’s Telltale Games title The Wolf Among Us actually introduced me to the world of Fables (somehow I missed out until that point) and I’ve been hooked ever since. The comic version of Fables: The Wolf Among Us acts as an official adaptation and expansion of the events that we saw in season one of the fabulous game (which is available on everything, so you should definitely play it).

As much as I love the Digital Firsts line, I also love collecting physical comics. DC seems to understand this pretty well, as they thankfully do publish hard copies of their Digital Firsts titles once enough digital issues have been released. This Wednesday (5/13), the publisher will release Fables: The Wolf Among Us #5 in comic book stores everywhere, and I couldn’t be more excited to pick up my copy.

We’ve got a batch of preview pages for the upcoming issue, so definitely take a gander at those below, and be sure to let us know what you hope to see in season two of the game, and next in the comic!

“The bodies pile up and the case takes a turn for the personal, as it looks like Bigby’s crime-solving partner just ended up on the wrong side of a toe tag. Plus, flash back to 17th-century Salem, Massachusetts, to see how Bigby became the man he is today!”

The First Season Of ‘The Wolf Among Us’ Will Conclude On July 8th!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I’ve arguably been enjoying Telltale’s The Wolf Among Us even more than the amazing second season of The Walking Dead.

The developer has just announced the release date for the final episode of their Fables adaptation, and I’m feeling pretty bittersweet about it. On one hand, it’s another episode and another chance to jump into this incredible world, and on the other hand, when will we get to play more?

Telltale hasn’t announced a second season of The Wolf Among Us, but as they’re calling this its ‘first’ season, I sure hope that they’re insinuating that more is on the way. Please, Telltale?

In any case, the episode will hit PSN, Mac, and Windows on July 8th, Xbox 360 on July 9th, and iOS on July 10th. You can take a look at the trailer for the episode, titled Cry Wolf below, and be sure to let us know what you hope to see in the finale!

‘The Walking Dead’ And ‘The Wolf Among Us’ Are Headed To PS4 & Xbox One!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Telltale today announced that The Walking Dead seasons one and two, as well as The Wolf Among Us will make the jump to PS4 and Xbox One later this year.

The retail versions of each game will release on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. Telltale hasn’t revealed whether or not the PS4 and Xbox One editions will feature any enhancements, but we’ll be sure to update you when we find out.

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Just two days ago Telltale debuted three new screenshots from The Wolf Among Us‘ next episode, In Sheep’s Clothing, and now we have the chapter’s release date(s).

Episode four will launch on May 27th for PS3, Windows, and OS X. It’ll hit Xbox 360 on May 28th, and iOS on May 29th. You can take a look at the new trailer for the game below, and be sure to let us know what you think of the game so far!

‘The Wolf Among Us’ Next Episode, ‘In Sheep’s Clothing’ Gets Three New Screenshots!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: After the insane conclusion of the last episode of Telltale’s The Wolf Among Us, we were itching for more content to sink our teeth into. Now, a month and a half has passed, and the developer has finally released the first screenshots for the game’s fourth episode, In Sheep’s Clothing.

The shots give us a look at a battered Bigby, a somber Snow White, and a dejected Narissa. If you know how the last episode ended (I won’t spoil things if not, but you should definitely be playing this game), you know exactly why everyone looks so down.

Once Telltale starts releasing screenshots, release dates (or at least their announcements) are typically soon to follow. Take a look at the shots below, and be on the lookout for more The Wolf Among Us news.

Telltale Games Announces Next ‘The Wolf Among Us’ Release Dates!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Almost like a kind of cruel joke, Telltale Games yesterday released the launch trailer for the third episode of The Wolf Among Us… but didn’t actually give us any release dates.

Today, the developer/publisher rectified the issue with the following tweet:

Obviously exciting news, and from the image, it looks as though Bigby may completely wolf-out this time around.

How are you liking The Wolf Among Us thus far? How does it stack up to The Walking Dead? Sound out below!

‘The Wolf Among Us’ Third Episode, “A Crooked Mile” Gets A Launch Trailer

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We still don’t have a release date for the third episode of Telltale’s amazing The Wolf Among Us, but the developer has just debuted the chapter’s launch trailer.

It does contain spoilers to past episodes, so if you’re not yet caught up I’d definitely not watch the video below. Then, I’d definitely go play the damned game, because it’s wonderful.

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think. As soon as we hear a release date, we’ll be sure to let you know! As always, the next chapter is looking top notch.

Geekscape Comics: Bill Willingham’s ‘Fables’ To End With Issue 150

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Just a few weeks after Telltale launched the first episode of The Wolf Among Us (read my review here), Fables creator Bill Willingham has announced the end of the long-running comic series.

Here’s what Bill had to say (vis his official blog):

After more than ten years of publication, and hundreds of issues of Fables, and various Fables-related works, I have decided the time has come to begin the process of bringing our sweeping story to a close. And, along the way, I’ve decided to retire from a great deal of my comics work.

 

Retirement in the storytelling trade means, still working and writing every day, but being a bit more selective in what projects I take on. Pushing 60, I thought it would be a good time to start making concrete plans for those remaining good writing years.

 

Fables will end with Issue 150, which will be a larger than usual size, as were many of the other milestone issues. Fairest, our companion series, will also come to an end just before the big final Fables issue.

 

Both DC and I will announce more details later on, but first and foremost I wanted to let our wonderful readers know about this as soon as I could, and note that our story plans leading up to Issue 150 made it increasingly clear that this upcoming saga should naturally be the final story.

 

Of course Mark is already well aware of this and said, “I respect Bill’s decision and am looking forward to working with him on the book’s epic final year, leading to the series’ grand finale.”

 

Newsarama is going to have more details, and I’ll link to their story as soon as it’s ready to go.

 

Let me restate my thanks to the best, sustained readership in all of comics. I promise to do my best to make the coming year in Fables a great one.

After playing the Telltale title, I’m just about to start the main Fables series, so I’m sad to see it come to an end (though it makes the series seem less daunting). Have you been reading the series? What do you think about the announcement? Sound out below!

Telltale’s ‘The Wolf Among Us’ Gets A Release Date!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’ve known that Telltale was crafting a game based on Bill Willingham’s Fables comic series for some time now (it was announced all the way back in 2011), but we just found out when we’ll finally be able to get our first taste.

Episode one, titled Faith, will debut worldwide on Xbox 360 and PC/Mac this Friday, October 11th. PS3 players will be waiting a few extra days according to Telltale (but I’d imagine the game will drop with the PSN update on Tuesday). I’m sure that an iPhone/iPad edition will follow, but an iOS launch has not been confirmed at this point.

The first episode will cost Telltale’s standard $4.99, and a season pass for episodes two through five will cost a cool $14.99 at that point.

I’m really looking forward to the title, and to jump into the world of Fables. Telltale’s The Walking Dead was my favourite game of last year, so I’m very excited to see what they do next! Will the story and choices be able to match up to that of their post-apocalyptic adventure game? I sure hope so (but also don’t see how that’s possible).

Take a look at a teaser trailer for The Wolf Among Us below, and let us know if you’ll be picking up the game!

Set prior to the events seen in the first issue of the FABLES comic book series, The Wolf Among Us puts players in the role of Bigby Wolf, a man once more infamously known as The Big Bad Wolf.  Now the sheriff of a hidden community in New York City, exiled from the land of fairy tales, Bigby is tasked by the bureaucrat Snow White to keep order within a society of mythical creatures and characters trying to remain undetected in the world of the mundane.  From a chain-smoking member of ‘The Three Little Pigs,’ to a car-stealing Mr. Toad itching for his next wild ride, The Wolf Among Us examines the lives of beings straight from the pages of myth and lore, now trying to survive on the meanest and most run-down streets of New York City.

Watch The First Teaser For Telltale’s ‘The Wolf Among Us’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: What choices await us in Telltale’s The Wolf Among Us? If the game turns out anything like last year’s The Walking Dead, we’re in for a damn fine treat.

Announced earlier this year, The Wolf Among Us is Telltale’s adaptation of the popular DC/Vertigo series Fables. The first trailer for the game has just been released, and it looks mighty impressive. A release date for the first episode is yet to be announced, but the preview states that it’s ‘premiering soon’.

I haven’t read much of Bill Willingham’s Fables, but it certainly sounds like an infinitely intriguing concept. I’m not sure that the scenarios that The Wolf Among Us could match the intensity of Telltale’s The Walking Dead series, but I suppose we’ll find out soon enough! Take a look at the first trailer below, and let us know what you think!

Telltale’s ‘Fables’ Game Gets A Title!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Before today, I wasn’t even aware that Telltale was working on a game set in Vertigo’s Fables universe. Today, that game got an official title.

The game is called The Wolf Among Us, and will feature (who else but) Bigby Wolf in the starring role. Little else is known about the game at this time, but The Wolf Among Us is set to release later this year for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

“Developing The Wolf Among Us based on the Fables universe has allowed our studio to build upon all of the hallmarks of what makes our episodic series so engaging for players,” Telltale CEO Dan Connors told IGN. “Through an evolution of our approach to choice and consequence, we can further explore the complexity of each and every iconic character in a universe rich with untold history from the darkest sides of the storybooks.”

Sure, this sounds cool as hell, but the Telltale title I’m really waiting for is, of course, season two of The Walking Dead!
