Fables Adventure Game Gets Intriguing Trailer
Telltale Games knocked it out of the park with The Walking Dead: Season One. It garnered tons of “Game of the Year” awards, which is incredible for a modestly-budgeted game with no bleeding-edge graphics from a smaller developer. Season Two is coming in Q4 2013, but before those episodes start releasing, Telltale has another comic book collaboration to start: The Wolf Among Us, a prequel to Bill Willingham’s Fables series. The episodic game will release its first episode in Q3 2013, with the overall series centering on Bigby Wolf, the reformed Big Bad Wolf who can take human form. Bigby works to keep other fairy tale creatures in line in a part of NYC known as Fabletown.
Telltale has supposedly been incorporating things players liked about The Walking Dead into the game design of The Wolf Among Us. Toss in a brightly-colored, yet shadow-riddled noir art style that improves upon what they accomplished in The Walking Dead, and you’ve certainly got my attention. I don’t think it will do quite as well simply due to the lower name recognition that Fables has (and the fact that this game isn’t even named after its licensed IP), but hopefully it does well.
