The Wolf Among Us Continues in Episode Two
Image Comics isn't the only publisher that Telltale Games is partnering with for their games. They've also got a thing going with DC Entertainment for The Wolf Among Us, based on Bill Willingham's Fables. The first episode has been available for a month or so and now Telltale Games wants gamers to know that the second episode called "Smoke and Mirrors" is now available on all platforms. That includes the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, PlayStation®Network and on PC and Mac from the Telltale Online Store and other digital distribution outlets. The episode also makes its debut this week on the iOS App Store as an in-app purchase within the original The Wolf Among Us release.
"We last left fans of 'FABLES' and 'The Wolf Among Us' on one of the most talked about cliffhangers in Telltale's history, and this week, we're taking players deeper into one of the darkest rabbit holes yet to be explored within the incredible universe that Bill Willingham has created," said Dan Connors, CEO and Co-Founder of Telltale Games. "Consequences of decisions made earlier truly begin to manifest in your relationships with the citizens of Fabletown, as choosing when Bigby will either play nice or lose his cool becomes harder and harder as the stakes grow even higher."
Set prior to the events seen in the first issue of Fables, 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 slippery 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.
The Wolf Among Us second episode, "Smoke & Mirrors," is now available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and PlayStation®Network for $4.99 USD individually or as part of a season pass option including access to episodes as they are released. On PC/Mac, the episode is available as part of a season pass and also available on the iOS App Store as part of a season multi-pack or for $4.99 USD as an in-app purchase within The Wolf Among Us application.
