Though The Wolf Among Us license was known to be part of Telltale's holdings under LCG Entertainment, the sequel's re-announcement at The Game Awards 2019 came as a surprise. What Originally Happened To The Wolf Among Us 2?

'We felt it best to give the new creative team a clean slate to start with.' Ottilie says LCG Entertainment/Telltale is looking to bring on more former Telltale Games employees in the future, but at present it's unclear whether any developers who were closely involved with The Wolf Among Us 2 at the time of its cancelation will work on the sequel again. 'We have completely restarted the development of the game,' Ottilie tells USgamer. Though AdHoc includes key members of the team behind the first season of The Wolf Among Us, all four founding members left Telltale over a year before the studio's closure in 2018. Joining Telltale on The Wolf Among Us 2's creation is AdHoc Studio, an 'interactive narrative company' founded earlier this year by former Telltale employees. LCG, a holding company headed by Ottilie and chief revenue officer Brian Waddle, completed its purchase of the Telltale brand and select licenses in late August. Jamie Ottilie, CEO of LCG Entertainment/Telltale, confirms that development on The Wolf Among Us 2 is starting anew rather than building on what Telltale had prior to the game's cancelation. First announced in 2017, the sequel was originally abandoned with last year's sudden closure of Telltale, in which 275 workers were laid off in a single day.
