The Wolf Among Us Remastered release date is Thursday 29 October 2026, and both console stores pin the unlock to 13:00 UTC — 9 AM in New York, 1 PM in London. It is coming to PS5, Xbox and PC via Steam and Epic, with all five episodes of Telltale’s 2013 noir thriller and a new black-and-white Noir Mode. Twelve days out, no store shows a price yet.
We don’t sell the remaster itself, but you can line up the store credit now: a $20 Steam gift card or a $25 Xbox gift card goes straight into your wallet balance, and a $50 Steam card gives you headroom if the price lands higher, with room for something else from the wishlist.
The Wolf Among Us Remastered release date and time
Telltale revealed the 29 October date around Gamescom in August, after first announcing the remaster at Summer Game Fest. The stores have since filled in the hour. The US PlayStation Store’s page data carries a release timestamp of 2026-10-29T13:00:00Z, and Microsoft’s US catalogue lists exactly the same moment as the Xbox version’s original release date, with its pre-launch availability window closing at 12:59:59 UTC. Steam shows 29 October without a time; Telltale has not said whether PC unlocks at the same minute, so treat 13:00 UTC as the console time only.

Platforms: PS5, Xbox, PC — and Switch?
| Platform | Store listing | Release shown | Price shown |
|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 | Live (US store, “Announced”) | 29 Oct, 13:00 UTC | None — wishlist only |
| Xbox (One build, plays on Series X|S) | Live (US store) | 29 Oct, 13:00 UTC | $0 placeholder — wishlist only |
| PC — Steam | Live (“Coming soon”) | 29 Oct, no time | None |
| PC — Epic Games Store | Listed by the publisher | 29 Oct | Not checked (page blocks automated reads) |
| Nintendo Switch | Listed by PM Studios, no eShop page yet | — | — |
| PS4 | Not announced | — | — |
Switch is the open question. The co-publisher PM Studios lists Nintendo Switch on its page for the game, and some outlets add Switch 2, but when we searched both the US and European Nintendo eShops on 17 October there was no listing for the remaster at all — not even a wishlist page. That usually means a Switch release is either not dated yet or not on the same day, so do not count on playing it on a Nintendo console on 29 October.
Why the Xbox version is an Xbox One build
Microsoft’s catalogue entry for the game says it is optimised for the Xbox One generation (“ConsoleGen8”) and compatible with both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, which is why PM Studios lists “Xbox One” rather than Series X|S. In practice it means one purchase plays on any Xbox from the last 13 years, with the 4K flag set for consoles that support it. The package is 11,805,429,760 bytes — 11.8 GB, or 11.0 GiB as your console will report it.

The Wolf Among Us Remastered price
For context, the original The Wolf Among Us still sells for $14.99 on Steam and on the US PlayStation Store (PS4), unchanged on the day we checked. No store page or announcement we read mentions an upgrade path or a discount for owners of the original, and there is only one edition of the remaster listed on each store — no Deluxe tier and no pre-order bonus.

What the remaster adds: Noir Mode and more
“Experience the all-new Noir Mode, which lets you play the entire story in a striking black-and-white presentation inspired by classic noir cinema.”
— Telltale, Steam store description for The Wolf Among Us Remastered
According to the Steam store description, the remaster is the complete five-episode season in one package, with:
- Noir Mode — the full story in black and white, toggled “with one tap” at any time.
- Enhanced visuals — improved lighting, updated animation and refined environments.
- Bonus material — developer commentary, concept art, interviews, “restored content” and other archive material about how the game was made.
- Achievements, Steam Cloud, full controller support and Family Sharing on PC; cloud saves and achievements on Xbox.
Steam lists full audio in English only, with interface text in French, German and Latin American Spanish as well — the same four languages Xbox counts. The game carries an ESRB Mature 17+ rating on both console stores. Telltale has not said whether the “restored content” is cut story material or behind-the-scenes extras; we would read it as the latter until it says otherwise.
PC requirements and download size
| Minimum (1080p, Low, 30 fps) | Recommended (1080p, High, 60 fps) | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10, 64-bit | Windows 11, 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 / AMD Phenom II X4 910 | Intel Core i3-8100 / AMD Ryzen 3 2300X |
| RAM | 8 GB | 8 GB |
| GPU | GeForce GTX 470 (1 GB) / Radeon HD 5870 (1 GB) | GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4 GB) / Radeon RX 6400 (4 GB) |
| Storage | Not listed yet | Not listed yet |
These are modest specs: the minimum CPU is from 2007, and the recommended GPU is a 2016 card. Steam has not published a storage figure, so the best guide is Microsoft’s 11.8 GB Xbox package. On a slow connection, our game download time calculator tells you how long 11.8 GB will take, so you know whether to start the moment it unlocks.
What about The Wolf Among Us 2?
The sequel is still coming. When the remaster’s date was revealed, Game Informer reported that The Wolf Among Us 2 is due “next year”, i.e. 2027, with no date yet. Its Xbox store page already exists as a separate product, so the remaster is not a bundle with the sequel — they are two purchases.
Pre-order, wait, or play the original?
New to Fabletown
Wait for the remaster. It is 12 days away, it bundles all five episodes, and it adds Noir Mode and the archive material.
- Complete season in one package
- Low PC specs
- Plays on Xbox One and Series X|S
- Price unknown
- English voice only
Owner of the original
Wait for the price and reviews. No owner discount has been announced, and the story itself is the same five episodes.
- Noir Mode is a genuinely new way to replay
- Developer commentary
- No upgrade path announced
- Same story and choices
Switch player
Hold off. There is no eShop listing, so there is no date to plan around.
- Switch is on the publisher’s platform list
- No eShop page in the US or Europe on 17 October
If you like the detective side of it, three story-driven PC games we stock fit the same mood: Disco Elysium – The Final Cut (another hard-boiled detective who is mostly a mess), Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human, both built on the same “every choice has consequences” idea. Our October 2026 release list has the rest of the month.
