What it is
The Wolf Among Us Remastered is a rebuilt edition of Telltale’s celebrated noir adventure that returns Bigby Wolf’s first case to modern platforms. Confirmed by Telltale and platform stores, the remaster collects the original five chapters, upgrades visuals and presentation, adds an optional black-and-white “Noir Mode” and bundles at least an hour of behind‑the‑scenes material. It’s scheduled to arrive in the UK on Thursday 29 October 2026, ahead of Telltale’s planned sequel in 2027.

Story and setting
The remaster presents the original five‑episode tale in full: you play Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, investigating a brutal murder that peels back the town’s fragile order. The game remains a prequel to the Fables comics and keeps the same noir, mature tone — its PEGI 18 listing highlights extreme violence and strong language. Telltale’s official materials and the platform stores describe this as the same canonical story, refreshed for a new generation rather than rewritten.
How it plays
Gameplay follows Telltale’s established narrative‑choice format: third‑person scenes, conversation trees, quick decisions and occasional timed actions that influence relationships and outcomes across the five chapters. The remaster emphasises presentation changes rather than fundamental mechanics: improved lighting, smoother animations and an overhauled UI are promoted alongside a new Noir Mode that applies a black‑and‑white film aesthetic to the entire experience. Bonus behind‑the‑scenes content is included, but the underlying single‑player decision structure remains the focus.
Platforms, editions and the UK angle
Telltale’s announcement and store listings confirm the remaster will be available digitally on PC (Steam and Epic), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch on 29 October 2026. UK retailers and official platform pages list the PEGI 18 rating; however, a UK RRP and any boxed/physical editions have not been announced at the time of writing. There’s no publisher confirmation that the remaster will be included on subscription services such as Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus in the UK; those arrangements are shown as TBC or unannounced on platform pages. For UK buyers this means you should expect a digital launch on the stated date and watch retailers for pre‑order or boxed announcements, which Telltale has not yet published.
Trailers, showcases and what we’ve seen
Telltale revealed the remaster during the 2026 Summer Game Fest period and subsequently released an official release‑date trailer in August; platform stores and Telltale’s site have posted an additional Noir Mode trailer and screenshots showing updated character models, lighting and menus. Press coverage and the trailers make clear the package contains the full original five episodes, the new Noir Mode and supplemental behind‑the‑scenes material. What the trailers do not show in detail are possible frame‑rate targets, resolution on each platform, or specifics of any accessibility upgrades beyond general improved presentation.
What remains unconfirmed
Telltale has been clear about the package contents and the release date, but several practical details remain unannounced: UK RRP for individual platforms and whether a physical retail edition will be available in the UK; whether the original 2013 release will be delisted or sold alongside the remaster; whether the remaster will be added to subscription services (Game Pass/PS Plus) at launch or later; and which engine or middleware was used in the rebuild — Telltale describes the game as “rebuilt for modern platforms” but has not formally named the engine.
