The CEO of Telltale Games made the difficult decision to establish that The Wolf Among Us 2 will not arrive in 2023. This may well seem like a bad omen for the release of the long-awaited sequel, but if you review each important point on the subject, you can understand how this delay is the best for the project, the developers, and the players.
At the beginning of last year they already gave us a trailer with 2023 as the launch window. The delay hurts less, since it is announced at the beginning of the year and without spoiling a specific day or month. Now, the new release window is 2024which gives them a great margin to develop this and their other projects without too much haste.
The Wolf Among Us 2 will not arrive in 2023, with the CEO of Telltale Games exposing his arguments
From Telltale Games they reported the matter through an official statement. The information is complemented by the statements of the CEO of the company, Jamie Ottilie, collected by IGN. From the developer they wanted to make it clear that the game would not be canceledand that they try to balance the quality of the game with the health of the development team.
This is one of the most important points, and Jamie Ottilie further explained this point. A critical point in the demise of the old Telltale was the crunch, and this will not be repeated in the present. From the human side, they want to be one of the many groups that banish the practice of crunching. On the business side, this practice not beneficial in the long run. It is not an optimal way to maintain a business.

On the other hand, The Wolf Among Us 2 will not arrive in 2023 due to the pandemic, which hit the developer hard. The game was presented at The Game Awards 2019, where pre-production began. The pandemic arrived after a few months, and the initial plans were totally derailed. The appearance of Unreal Engine 5 was also crucial. The study made the decision to change the engine due to the facilities it provides, but this in turn meant that part of the work had to be restarted.
