“We are so proud to be a part of the rich tapestry of the FABLES universe, bringing
that world's darker takes on familiar fairytale characters to an interactive medium,” said Kevin Bruner, President
and Co-Founder at Telltale Games. “In bringing The Wolf Among Us to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One
formats, as well as the recent Android release, more players than ever can now experience being Sheriff Bigby Wolf and take
the fate of Fabletown into their own hands.”
The Wolf Among Us: A Telltale Games Series
has been met with critical acclaim since its premiere leading to its finale this July, when GameSpot.com heralded
the series as a 2014 Game of the Year Contender. The series was nominated in five categories in the 2014
Golden Joystick Awards, including Game of the Year, Best Original Game, Best Audio, Best Storytelling, and
Studio of the Year for Telltale Games.
The finale episode received a 9.3 out of 10 score
from IGN.com who awarded it 'Game of the Month,' saying, "Simply put, The
Wolf Among Us' finale provides some of the finest storytelling I've played in a long time," later adding "Telltale's
finale is a fantastic adventure, and some of the best work the studio has ever done."
Nerdist.com
called the series upon its conclusion, "... a tour de force of sex, lies, murder, deceit, and, ultimately,
hope. The final moments of the series are guaranteed to be the subject of heated comment section debate for months to come
and can totally shatter your perception of everything you've come to know." Also in their review of the season
finale, GamesBeat awarded the episode a 9.5 out of 10 score, saying "Cry Wolf ends
Telltale's Fables series on a memorable and effective note... It's everything a finale should be."
Official Xbox Magazine awarded 'Cry Wolf' a 9 out of 10,
calling it "a spectacular end to an excellent series," while Joystiq also gave the episode
a 9 out of 10, saying, "The Wolf Among Us has been consistently excellent from start
to finish."
A consistent New York Times bestseller, 'FABLES' is written by Bill
Willingham and is one of DC Entertainment's longest-running series published under its Vertigo imprint since 2002. With over
a dozen Eisner Awards, including Best Writer, Best New Series, and numerous wins for Best Serialized Story, the FABLES universe
has become one of the richest mythologies in the world of comics, imagining that characters like Snow White, The Big Bad Wolf
and Pinocchio from the world's most beloved storybooks are real - Real, and living among us, with all of their powers intact.
Set prior to the events seen in the first issue of the FABLES comic book series, The
Wolf Among Us: A Telltale Games Series 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: A Telltale Games Series is licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on behalf of DC
Entertainment, and is rated ‘PEGI 18’ for Extreme violence, Violence towards defenceless people, and Strong language.
