Telltale's The Wolf Among Us Arriving October 11th



Telltale's prequel to Fables, The Wolf Among Us, will launch on Xbox 360 and PC/Mac this Friday with the PS3 version coming a few days later.

It's been more than <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/107866-Walking-Dead-Fables-and-Kings-Quest-Receiving-New-Life>two years since Telltale first announced it would be crafting a game based in the Fables universe. Since then it has taken form as a prequel that many gamers and comic fans have been waiting eagerly to play, especially after Telltale's <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/9790-The-Walking-Dead-Episodes-1-2-Review>successful take on The Walking Dead. That in mind, we're happy to report that The Wolf Among Us has finally received a release date that's not too far off.

According to Telltale, The Wolf Among Us will be launching worldwide this Friday, October 11th. The game's first episode will sell for $4.99. A season pass, which will include the first episode as well as the four to come after it, will also be available for $14.99. These prices are based on the Xbox 360 version. The Steam season pass will cost $25, although customers who pre-order it will be privy to a 10 percent discount.

Sadly, this initial launch is limited to the Xbox 360 and PC/Mac. PS3 owners can expect their version to arrive a "a few days after" the Xbox 360 and computer editions. The extra wait is sure to be disappointing for some, but we're just excited to see how the game turns out. While Telltale's take on The Walking Dead was well-received by gamers and critics alike, The Wolf Among Us comes with more caveats. Besides being based in an arguably deeper world, it's <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/122961-Telltale-Games-The-Wolf-Among-Us-is-a-Fables-Prequel>also a prequel to a long and complex story with a lot of moving parts. In other words, while we have faith in Telltale to deliver something good, there's potentially more to screw up here than in The Walking Dead.

Awesome, I can't wait to play it. I hope that it will be just as good and emotionally engaging as The Walking Dead. That sucks that the PS3 version is arriving later.

I can wait. Life us about waiting for good things. Means I can have an extra cup of tea and a sit down. That's the way to see these things.

I will warn people against buying this on the Telltale store as they can and have removed access to games that they no longer sell (ie you can't re-download the game via their site). Might not be a concern now but you never know in the future.

In all seriousness, this looks awesome...

But daaaaaammmmit, I thought I had my game purchases all figured out this year.

Come on game industry, you think I'm just made of money?

That extra 10 dollars on PC is puzzling.

Hopefully Telltale releases this on GoG as well. Havent bought anythin from Steam goin on a year now and I don't plan to change that any time soon.

Really looking forward to playing this game.

If they have kept the same quality and production towards and it seems that they have (I have checked a preview of it) then I think I will enjoy it all the same as TWD.
