Telltale has unveiled its adaptation of Vertigo Comics and DC's Fables, called 'The Wolf Among Us', a prequel story set prior the events of the comic book series.

You'll play as Bigby Wolf AKA The Big Bad Wolf, who's been exiled to New York City, where he must strive to keep various fairy tale characters like the Three Little Pigs and Mr. Toad undetected in the real world. It's hoped that it'll follow up the runaway success of Telltale's episodic The Walking Dead.

“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,” said Telltale CEO Dan Connors. “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.”

The Wolf Among Us will be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade this summer. Check out the moody artwork below.

  • Don't get all the thumbs down for #1, I agree with you dude Walking Dead was excellent, hope they keep up the same standards with this game.
  • Telltale showed some screenshots and a brief clip at Fablescon last weekend. Very, very excited for this. They also mentioned the next issue of Game Informer would have more details.
  • looks like we have a joker, hey 5?
  • A bit of problem with control-v, #5? Anyway, I enjoy the Fables comic series, which I've been buying in oversize hardcover form. The premise for the game sounds very interesting. If this approaches Telltale Walking Dead rather than Telltale Jurassic Park, I'll be right into this.
  • @6 I can personally vouch for you, having sided with you in some of the previous articles in arguments against BurnTheWelsh and his multiple profiles. Welsh Dragon888 is NOT the troll, people. He is probably this site's best TROLL SLAYER.
  • @Welsh Dragon, it's the internet who cares what they think of you. Using multiple articles to state your case may hurt you in the long run. Back to topic, I think this is a cool idea and cannot wait to see some video. I never played The Walking Dead but what I saw in videos and all the awards won they did something right :-).
  • @11 yeah I don't think you are burnthewelsh either, you can actually spell for a start !
  • Don't worry about it #1. I agreed with your OP, and upvoted you!
  • Oooh nice Telltale doing some DC stuff, this is awesome news.
  • Enjoyed the Fables books up until about #7 (Arabian Nights...) when it started to lose a lot of steam. That's when I realised it was one of those titles that was just going to meander along until it's eventual death. Off that bandwagon.
  • Just out of curiousity, what did that "Daddy Welsh" guy do that was so bad? I saw a few troll posts from "burnthewelsh" but never from Daddy. Plenty of his more rational posts were downvoted 30 times for no apparent reason. OT: This looks interesting, to say the least. Here's hoping they can recreate some of that Walking Dead magic.
  • OT - i'm not a DC man, but they do some great concepts, hopefully TellTale can create a great vision for this one, will wait for more info. @welsh dragon - don't worry I've seen the trolling from the other guy to and know it's not you, especially on the Blockbuster thread? I've marked a couple of yours back up to make more even based on the stuff you posted.
  • @2: That´s exactly why I rarely post comments on this site. There´s just an awful bunch of idiots and trolls hanging around and it´s become nearly impossible to have a serious conversation. And it´s not just here, I mean, have you read the comments section under any random video on YouTube? Awful, just awful...
  • @20 I think comments in general are a breeding ground for retards.
  • Telltale definately knows how to make a great game! I hope they can keep up with the track record they are setting! If so, this will be another TellTale Game to add to the collection! @20 & 21 - I am jumping on yalls bandwagon = Agree
  • BurnTheWelsh was banned? Thank Christ.
  • Way they dont just work on a retail fable 4 is clueless to me these knock offs dont sell for shit. Were is the lion head that made all the great ones?
  • This looks like a great summer for XBL titles. I'm definitely going to check into this, the new TMNT, and DuckTales.
  • @24 This is based on the graphic novel series "Fables", it has no relation to the Fable video game series.
  • I'm excited for this game. This should be very interesting.
