Telltale’s Fables noir is coming back two days before Halloween, in black and white if you want it.
The Wolf Among Us Remastered launches on October 29, 2026. This guide covers the platforms, PC requirements, what Noir Mode and the remaster change, what is still unannounced, and where the sequel stands.
Checked on October 18, 2026 against Steam’s store page, Push Square, Nintendo Life, Tech Times and other outlets named below. We have not played the remaster, so the details come from the sources named. Most coverage dates from late August.
Release Date and Platforms
The remaster launches on October 29, 2026. According to Tech Times, the date was confirmed at Gamescom 2026.
The digital release covers PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, according to Digitally Downloaded and Tech Times. Nintendo Life confirms Switch and Switch 2 versions. Digitally Downloaded says physical versions follow in the first quarter of 2027.
Telltale Games develops it, and PM Studios co-publishes, per Push Square and Digitally Downloaded.
Price: Not Announced
We could not find a price. Steam’s page does not list one, and none of the outlets we read gave one. Check your platform’s store when preorders open, and do not trust a figure you cannot trace to the store or publisher.
What Noir Mode Is
Steam’s page describes Noir Mode as a black-and-white presentation styled after classic noir film that can be toggled at any time with one tap. Tech Times says it is available from launch on all platforms and removes the original’s neon purple and blood red palette, and that Telltale has not released side-by-side comparisons.
The takeaway: you can play in the original colors or switch to noir, so it looks like an option, not a replacement.
What the Remaster Changes
- Visuals. Steam says enhanced lighting, updated animation and refined environments. Tech Times adds upgraded textures and 4K support, with no frame rate target stated.
- UI and accessibility. Tech Times lists an updated interface and improved accessibility options.
- All five episodes. The story covers Faith, Smoke and Mirrors, A Crooked Mile, In Sheep’s Clothing and Cry Wolf in a single package, per Steam.
- Bonus content. Steam lists developer commentary, concept art, interviews, restored content and archival material. Bleeding Cool and Tech Times say it runs over an hour, while Digitally Downloaded says about an hour. Both mention cast interviews, deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes material.
PC System Requirements
These come from Steam’s store page, which also says the game targets 1080p at 30 fps on minimum and 1080p at 60 fps on recommended.
| Spec | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10, 64-bit | Windows 11, 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 or AMD Phenom II X4 910 | Intel Core i3-8100 or AMD Ryzen 3 2300X |
| RAM | 8 GB | 8 GB |
| GPU | Nvidia GTX 470 or AMD Radeon HD 5870 (1 GB) | Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 6400 (4 GB) |
Steam lists full English audio, with interface and subtitles in English, French, German and Latin American Spanish. It lists mature content, including violence, gore and sexual content. The page does not mention controller support or Steam Deck status.
What Is Not Confirmed
- The price on every platform.
- Upgrade discounts for people who own the original. Steam does not mention one, and Push Square does not either.
- Frame rate targets on consoles, including both Switch versions.
- Whether the Switch and Switch 2 versions are separate builds. Nintendo Life does not say.
- Controller support and Steam Deck status.
The Sequel: The Wolf Among Us 2
Tech Times says the sequel was announced at Summer Game Fest in June and is targeted for a 2027 window with no date. It reports that Trick Studios in Argentina co-develops it, handling roughly 60 percent of the work, and that it is rebuilt on Unreal Engine 5. Push Square and Nintendo Life only mention a 2027 window. Treat the details as reported, not confirmed by Telltale.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Assuming a price. None has been announced.
- Expecting a physical copy now. Physical versions are reported for early 2027.
- Expecting a free upgrade. Nothing has been announced.
- Thinking Noir Mode replaces the colors. Steam says it can be toggled.
- Skipping the mature rating. The game contains violence, gore and sexual content.
