The Wolf Among Us Remastered's New Trailer Reveals Bigby's Full Werewolf Form
Telltale's new Story Trailer for The Wolf Among Us Remastered reveals Bigby's redesigned werewolf form ahead of its October 29 launch on five platforms.
Telltale put a very different Bigby Wolf on screen this week. During the ID@Xbox x IGN Showcase on October 20, the studio and co-publisher PM Studios released a new Story Trailer for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, and for the first time it shows Bigby's redesigned, full werewolf form rather than the half-transformed snarl players remember from 2013. The remaster launches October 29 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, with a Nintendo Switch 2 release still unconfirmed.
A murder case gets a new coat of paint
The Story Trailer walks back through the opening of the original game: a murder in Fabletown, a sheriff with a history he can't outrun, and a conspiracy that pulls Bigby deeper in with every choice. None of that plot is changing. What the trailer sells instead is presentation — rebuilt lighting, higher-resolution character models and a texture pass over Fabletown's brownstones and back alleys that makes the fifteen-year-old adventure game look closer to a current release than a touch-up job.
Telltale has also confirmed a Noir Mode that renders the entire game in black and white, toggleable at any point during play, aimed squarely at fans of the hardboiled detective tone the series has always leaned on. It's a cosmetic option, not a difficulty or content change, but it's the kind of feature that signals how much attention went into the remaster beyond resolution bumps.
Why Telltale is revisiting a decade-old game now
The timing isn't a coincidence. The Wolf Among Us Remastered exists largely to set up The Wolf Among Us 2, the long-delayed sequel that re-entered development after Telltale's 2018 shutdown and subsequent relaunch. Telltale wants new players caught up on Bigby, Snow White and the rest of Fabletown's exiled fairy-tale cast before the sequel arrives, and a remaster is a lower-risk way to do that than expecting newcomers to track down the 2013 original.
"For more than a decade, The Wolf Among Us has remained incredibly important to our players and to everyone at Telltale. With The Wolf Among Us Remastered, we wanted to preserve the original experience while introducing Bigby and the world of Fabletown to a new audience."

What's actually new besides the visuals
Beyond the graphical overhaul, the remastered edition bundles in content that never shipped with the original:
- Five playable Lost Scenes cut from the 2013 production, restored and made playable for the first time
- Over an hour of behind-the-scenes developer interviews and retrospective material
- A 100-plus image art gallery covering concept and production art
- Updated animation, audio and accessibility options throughout all five episodes
All five episodes of the original season are included, so there's no need to have played — or even remember — the source material going in.
A demo is already playable
Telltale isn't asking players to take the remaster on faith. A free demo covering the complete first episode, "Faith," is live now on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest, and it runs through October 26 — three days before the full release. It's the clearest way to judge the Noir Mode and the rebuilt visuals against the original before committing.
At launch, The Wolf Among Us Remastered is priced at $24.99, with a 20% discount for new buyers and a steeper one for anyone who already owns the 2013 original. PC players can pick it up through Steam or the Epic Games Store; console players have it on PlayStation 5 and Xbox platforms, with Xbox One copies playable on Series X|S through backward compatibility. A Nintendo Switch version is coming at a later, unannounced date, and a physical retail edition is planned for early 2027.
What to watch before October 29
The open question is still The Wolf Among Us 2 itself, which has no release date beyond a 2027 window. Telltale has treated this remaster as the bridge to that sequel rather than a standalone cash-in, which raises the stakes on it landing well — a shaky remaster would be a rough way to reintroduce a dormant franchise. For now, the signs are encouraging: a demo players can test today, a visual overhaul backed by actual gameplay footage rather than a pre-rendered trailer, and a dev team that built its pitch around preserving what made the original work rather than reinventing it.
