Telltale is taking another stab at making an adventure game based on a comic. In a time where adventure games struggle The walking dead, based on the widely acclaimed comic book series, became one of the best games of 2012. This time they’re basing the game on DC comics Fables series with a game called The Wolf Among Us. The game takes place prior to the comics so don’t worry about getting spoilers if you plan on reading the comic. You’ll take the role of Bigby Wolf, playing the role of the fairy tale figure “Big Bad Wolf” who has been exiled to New York City and meeting iconic characters like Mr. Toad and the Three Little Pigs during your adventure.
Telltale CEO Dan Connors had this to say about the project:
“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. 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 is set to arrive on PlayStation 3 this summer.
