The developer was rescued and relaunched by LCG Entertainment in 2019, after shutting down seemingly overnight in September 2018.

The funds will go towards the launch of The Expanse: A Telltale Series (due this summer), the development of The Wolf Among Us 2, and another unannounced title. Last month, Telltale raised $8 million as part of a Series A funding round led by Hiro Capital. We just have to stop doing it and make better choices.' And as an industry, if we're going to continue to grow, we have to stop it. And as an industry, we're terrible about it. 'So certainly, burning people out or grinding them down is the wrong thing to do long-term. It has been incredibly difficult to recruit the last two years between COVID and the labour markets and the growth in the games industry. We don't want to burn out our good people. So yeah, part of it is about maintaining a healthy work culture. He continued: 'I've done, and I don't want to do it again, and it's not fair to ask it. 'And it doesn't do any of us any good to ship something that's not ready.' From the makers of the 2012 Game of the Year: The Walking Dead, comes a thriller based on the award-winning Fables comic books. 'Making games is difficult and they need time to be right,' he told IGN. Telltale Games CEO Jamie Ottilie also mentioned the challenges of building the studio during the pandemic and directly addressed wanting to avoid crunch as well, a stance he had already committed to when the studio relaunched in 2019. Speaking to IGN, the studio said it's pushing the awaited sequel back to 2024 to avoid crunch and burnout among the staff, but also because it's making the switch from Unreal Engine 4 to UE5. However, barring its successful development, it seems that Telltale's next major episodic adventure will be released near the end of 2024, hopefully simultaneously signifying a new era for the beloved developer.The Wolf Among Us 2 will not be releasing this year, Telltale Games announced. The Wolf Among Us 2 has yet to be given a specific release date for 2024, and with the internal issues the developer has experienced, the game could be pushed even beyond this year.

Since it's unlikely that The Wolf Among Us 2 will follow The Expanse and be released in the summer of 2024 due to such an extreme shift in development and the recent layoffs, it's sensible to expect The Wolf Among Us 2 to release sometime in December 2024, especially when considering the developer's release history. Since being reacquired by LCG, Telltale has released Batman: Shadows Edition and The Expanse: A Telltale Series, which were released on December 17, 2019, and July 27, 2023, respectively. While the list of the above-mentioned games does not include every Telltale game, they are some of the developer's biggest releases and can assist in predicting a release date for The Wolf Among Us 2.

Batman: Shadows Edition (December 17, 2019).

The Walking Dead Collection (December 5, 2017).

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier (December 20, 2016).

Minecraft: Story Mode (October 13, 2015).

Tales from the Borderlands (November 25, 2014).

The Walking Dead: Season Two (December 17, 2013).

Telltale has been known to favor a fall release window for many of its past titles, which typically release between October and December.

This, and the developer's release history, will most likely push the release of The Wolf Among Us 2 to the latter half of 2024.

Not only has the game already been delayed, but the layoffs at the company will certainly not help The Wolf Among Us 2's development. While Telltale might have originally been able to release The Wolf Among Us 2 in early 2024, that seems rather unlikely now.
