The Wolf Among 2 has been resurrected and will shockingly still be developed and released. This is a bizarre story, so stick with us. As you may recall, Telltale revealed The Wolf Among Us Season 2 a long time ago. However, when Telltale was shut down as part of a long and ugly process, they

This Van Helsing review contains spoilers.
