The sequel to the gritty detective game that released back in 2013 is finally coming out this year. Based on the Fables comics created by Bill Willingham, the story follows the Sheriff of Fabletown, Bigby Wolf, as he seeks to solve murders and mysteries while interacting with the fairy tale characters who live in New York City.

Don't expect a happily ever after, though. Fairytale characters have to do some drastic things to get by in the real world and you're bound to uncover some serious depravity. Not to mention, Bigby Wolf tends to turn into a wolf himself when he gets upset. The Wolf Among Us 2 is set to release sometime in 2024.
