Ghost of Tsushima 2 might be among the sought-after games right now, but the attention seems to have been diverted a little. After the new Wolf Among Us 2 screenshots developed in Unreal Engine 5 went viral, the game and excitement for it has reached the ‘peak’ it seems.
The game was originally announced in 2017 and then again during The Game Awards in 2019 after LCG Entertainment pulled Telltale Games from a rock-and-hard place. Details on the development have remained thin since. However, the latest images show the Fabletown sheriff Bigby Wolf in different situations and the gaming community has already started buzzing about it.
Not Ghost of Tsushima 2, But The Wolf Among Us 2 is ‘Peak’
Enthusiasm for the game is clearly visible on the internet and fans have already attached their expectations with the next installment in the series, believing it to send the gaming experience to its “peak“.
Several fans shared the ‘peak’ emotion on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) after The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley posted the screenshots that took no time to go viral. Another X handle shared the images and fans on the post came together to show their faith in the game.

Fans’ expectations from the game are natural given it wasn’t just a great product they loved playing, it became a cult among the community. Besides this, it too received praise from critics for faithfulness to the source material. It was released in a series of Episodes throughout 2013 and 2014 with the first one receiving the highest ratings.
Telltale Killed the Deadline So The Game Remains Alive
Telltale Games has been quiet over the game’s development for quite some time and they explained the reason for it in a community discussion. Interestingly, this was also where the Unreal Engine 2 screenshots were shared before Geoff Keighley made them viral.
In the forum, they wrote,
We’ve been quiet because we’ve been heads down, focusing on the promise of #TWAU2. While we can’t give a big update yet, here’s a little something for you: In-progress shots from the current build. The work continues. The Fabletown gang will be back. Thanks for being fans.
We got a proper look at the game in 2022 with the arrival of its trailer. While it was slated for a release the following year Telltale delayed it to prevent burnout among the members of the team. In essence, the long-dead game was being revived by killing the concept of deadline. Gamers are hoping for games like Ghost of Tsushima 2 which was rumored to arrive this year. However, with TWAU2 in sight, players are likely to forget about it for a while now.
