Telltale Games has released a “red band” trailer for the second episode of The Wolf Among Us, titled “Smoke and Mirrors.”Based on Bill Willingham’s Fables comic book series from Vertigo Comics, the first episode had players take control of Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, to investigate a grisly murder.It seems that, after the shocking ending of Episode 1: Faith, things have gotten grim in Fabletown. The decisions players made in the first episode will affect how things play out in Episode 2, but the trailer shows some brutal interrogation techniques being used by Bigby and a throw down between the sheriff and Beast.The Wolf Among Us is a five-part episodic game series set within the Fables canon. The game takes place in the 1980s, 30 years before the beginning of the Fables comic book series. Telltale Games is using the same choice and consequence driven storytelling gameplay they employed with their Waking Dead game to put players directly into Bigby’s shoes.Telltale Games still hasn’t nailed down a firm release date for Episode 2, but they’re aiming for early February 2014.
