The Wolf Among Us Remastered Release Date, Price & Switch Delay

Bigby Wolf is back on the beat this week. The Wolf Among Us Remastered launches Thursday, October 29, 2026, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store). Switch players have to wait: Telltale pushed the Nintendo version to an unannounced date. Here's everything you need before you clock in.

Release date, price and platforms

• Release date: Thursday, October 29, 2026. Telltale hasn't posted an exact unlock time, so check your store page on the day.
• Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
• Nintendo Switch / Switch 2: delayed. It was originally due October 29 too.
• Price: $24.99, with a 20% launch discount and extra savings for digital owners of the original, according to MonsterVine's report on Telltale's announcement.
• Developer and publisher: Telltale, with PM Studios.
• Physical editions: planned for early 2027, per MonsterVine.

Why the Switch version was delayed

Telltale announced on October 16 that the Switch release is slipping. It's the game's first time on a Nintendo platform, and the studio says it wants more time to deliver the experience Nintendo players deserve. Telltale's line: the Switch version "will follow at a later date." No new date yet, according to Gematsu.

What's new in the remaster

This is the full 2013-2014 adventure, all five episodes in one package, rebuilt rather than just upscaled:

• Upgraded visuals: updated environments, character models, animation, audio and UI, with higher resolutions and smoother performance.
• Noir Mode: play the whole thing in black and white.
• Five playable deleted scenes cut from the original.
• 60+ minutes of behind-the-scenes interviews with the developers and cast.
• Art gallery with concept and production art from 2013 and the remaster.
• Redesigned werewolf form for Bigby, shown off in the new story trailer from the ID@Xbox showcase.

Still on the fence? Telltale put the full first episode, "Faith," up as a free demo on Steam for Next Fest, which wraps today, October 26. And yes, The Wolf Among Us 2 is still coming, now set for 2027, so this is the cleanest way to catch up before Bigby's next case.

The 2nd Shift take

At $24.99 with a launch discount, this is an easy call if you never played it, and a solid excuse to replay it in Noir Mode if you did. The original's choices still hit hard, and five deleted scenes is real new content, not a gallery filler bullet. The Switch delay stings, but we'd rather Telltale take the time than ship another rough port, especially in a month where remasters are getting roasted. The real test is performance on day one. We'll be playing it Thursday night.
