The Wolf Among Us Remastered Switch Version Delayed Past October 29

The Wolf Among Us Remastered for Nintendo Switch has been delayed past the planned October 29 launch date, Telltale Games confirmed today on its official X account. The publisher says the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC versions of the remaster remain on schedule for October 29, while the Switch edition will follow later.

“A quick update for our Nintendo Switch fans…. October 29 is still on for PS5, XBOX, and PC. The Nintendo Switch version of The Wolf Among Us Remastered needs a little more time and will launch later. Timing coming soon.” That’s the full text of Telltale’s post on @telltalegames.

The news matches what the tier 2 outlet Gematsu reported earlier today. Telltale’s post didn’t name a new Switch date, but a separate X thread on the same account has already promised “more to share on October 20th” on the game’s price and any discounts, which is the next public touchpoint from the studio.

The Wolf Among Us Remastered is a rebuild of Telltale’s 2013 to 2014 episodic adventure based on Bill Willingham’s Fables DC Comics/Vertigo series. You play Bigby Wolf, the sheriff of Fabletown, investigating a string of brutal murders. Noir Mode is one of the new features Telltale has teased for the October 29 drop: it reskins the entire campaign in black-and-white film grain, and the developer announced it as a launch-day feature. Telltale’s X feed is also running a chat about the original launch with game director Matt Saia. The Switch delay suggests the handheld-port work isn’t quite ready alongside the others.

Switch buyers will get a working day-one patch on top of the delayed build, and pricing for all platforms lands October 20 per Telltale.

Where this fits in October’s launch calendar

The Oct 29 date is now crowded for Telltale’s PS5/Xbox/PC launch alongside several other major Switch 2 ports we’ve covered:

And the Switch-as-afterthought port pattern is not new. We noted the Witcher 3 Remastered PS5 hotfix story, where the original Switch 2 version of The Witcher 3 was still “incoming” weeks after PC and PS5 patches shipped, and the Edge of Memories delay skipped the GTA 6 window for exactly the same kind of “needs more time” reasoning. The Oct 20 ID@Xbox showcase also named The Wolf Among Us Remastered as one of the headliners (ID@Xbox Returns Oct 20 With The Wolf Among Us Remastered), and Switch was already on the planned-platform list there.

Our read: Telltale’s phrasing (“a little more time,” “timing coming soon”) leaves the door open for a quick reveal. Pricing and any discounts are already scheduled for October 20, nine days before the Oct 29 release; if the studio holds to that touchpoint, Switch players will get a concrete date alongside the price. If the Switch build needs another week or two, expect Telltale to name a new window in the same Oct 20 update so console buyers aren’t left guessing.
