Telltale has revealed that its game based on DC comics series Fables will be titled The Wolf Among Us . Set to arrive on Xbox 360, PC, Mac and PlayStation 3 this summer, The Wolf Among Us takes place prior to the comics and lets players take on the role of Bigby Wolf (The Big Bad Wolf), who has been exiled to New York City. The game follows Wolf as he tries to keep fairy tale characters including Mr. Toad and the Three Little Pigs undetected in our world.

“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,” said Telltale CEO Dan Connors. “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.”Today’s announcement confirms a tease from Telltale last week that hinted at Bigby Wolf’s appearance. Telltale originally announced Fables back in 2011 , but Connors confirmed to IGN last month that the game would be released under a different name.Look out for more on The Wolf Among Us in the coming weeks.
