The Wolf Among Us Remastered launches digitally on October 29, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox One, with the Xbox version playable on Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility. It costs $24.99 in the United States. A Nintendo Switch version is still planned but has moved to a later, unannounced date, while physical editions are scheduled for early 2027.
This is a remaster of the complete five-episode original story, not a remake or a replacement sequel. It adds rebuilt character and environment presentation, remastered audio, Noir Mode, five playable Lost Scenes, a gallery of more than 100 images, and over an hour of behind-the-scenes material.

What platforms is The Wolf Among Us Remastered on?

- Windows PC through Steam
- Windows PC through the Epic Games Store
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox One
- Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility
A Nintendo Switch version is confirmed but delayed.

Nintendo players should wait for Telltale’s updated platform and release-date announcement.
Is The Wolf Among Us Remastered a remake or a remaster?
It is a remaster. Telltale rebuilt and refined visual assets, lighting, character models, environments, animation, audio, user interface, and accessibility features, but the team says it preserved the original story, directorial choices, and overall art style.
That makes the project more substantial than a basic resolution increase, but it is not a ground-up narrative remake. Bigby’s investigation, the five-episode structure, and the player’s major choices remain the foundation.
What is new in The Wolf Among Us Remastered?
The remaster adds higher-detail character models and textures, relit scenes, refined environments, improved animation, remastered audio, modernized presentation, interface changes, accessibility improvements, and resolution and frame-rate enhancements.
One of the most visible character changes is Bigby’s full werewolf form, which has been redesigned to look more feral and powerful while keeping the identity of the original character.
Telltale moved the game to a newer version of its engine and created updated shaders and materials. The studio says every scene had to be relit as part of the process.
What is Noir Mode?
Noir Mode presents the complete story in black and white, drawing on classic detective films. It is not a separate episode or limited challenge. Players can toggle between Noir Mode and the standard remastered presentation during the game.
The mode changes the visual treatment rather than rewriting the plot. Dialogue, decisions, investigations, and consequences remain part of the same five-episode story.
Does the remaster include every original episode?
Yes. The full award-winning story is included, covering all five episodes from the original season. The remaster is sold as one complete game rather than as a new episodic release schedule.
Are there new or deleted scenes?
Yes. The bonus package includes five playable Lost Scenes restored from material that did not appear as playable content in the original release. Telltale has not described them as a new sixth episode or a rewritten main storyline.
The remaster also includes more than 100 gallery images and over an hour of behind-the-scenes developer interviews and videos. These extras focus on the creation and restoration of the game rather than changing the established ending.
Does The Wolf Among Us Remastered have multiplayer?
No. It remains a single-player, choice-driven narrative adventure. There is no cooperative or competitive multiplayer mode.
Is The Wolf Among Us Remastered on Game Pass or PlayStation Plus?
No subscription launch has been announced. The game is not currently confirmed for Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, or the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog.
A PlayStation Plus membership may affect store discounts, but a discount for subscribers is not the same as the game being included with the service.
Is there a free upgrade for owners of the original?
A free upgrade has not been announced. Eligible digital owners can receive a larger launch discount on participating platforms, but the remaster is a separate product.
How does the remaster relate to The Wolf Among Us 2?
The remaster retells the original game’s complete story. The Wolf Among Us 2 is a separate sequel set five months after the original and planned for 2027.
Players who are new to Fabletown can use the remaster as the starting point before the sequel. The extra Lost Scenes and behind-the-scenes material do not replace The Wolf Among Us 2 or turn the remaster into a sequel.
What remains unconfirmed?
- The updated Nintendo Switch release date
- Whether Nintendo Switch 2 receives a separate native version and when
- Physical edition platforms, price, and exact release date
- Game Pass or PlayStation Plus catalog availability
- Platform-specific resolution and frame-rate targets
- Whether launch discounts will return after the initial promotion
