First screenshots for Telltale Games’ The Wolf Among Us

Telltale Games has released the first batch of screenshots for its upcoming game The Wolf Among Us. The five new images provide a brief look at the episodic game series which is based on Bill Willingham's award-winning comic books series 'FABLES.'

The Wolf Among Us takes place before the events in the first issue of the FABLES comic book series, which take the our beloved storybook and fairytale characters and imagines that they are real, living among us, with all of their powers intact. In the game you play as Bigby Wolf, a man once more infamously known as "The Big Bad Wolf."

Now the sheriff of a hidden community in New York City, exiled from the land of fairy tales, Bigby is tasked by the bureaucrat Snow White to keep order within a society of mythical creatures and characters trying to remain undetected in the world of the mundane.

Today's screenshots give you a brief glance at a few of the characters you'll meet, including a chain-smoking member of The Three Little Pigs. The Wolf Among Us is said to examine the lives of beings straight from the pages of myth and lore, now trying to survive hte mean streets of New York City. I'm sure we'll get more details in the weeks leading up to E3, so be sure to stay tuned. The Wolf Among Us is set to premiere later this summer on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC/Mac. Additional platforms will be announced in the future.
