Fables:The wolf among us

 Telltale Games has shown off the first footage to its The Walking Dead successor: Fables: The Wolf Among Us (via IGN).

Based on Bill Willngham's Fables universe, the "series of choice and consequences" follows the exploits of Bigby, the Big Bad Wolf manifested as a human sheriff of Fabletown where he has to prevent his nursery rhyme brethren from killing each other as well as keep a lid on his fablemates' existence to the general civilian population.

Though none of Fables' UI is shown off, the comic-based series is going to function similarly to Telltale's take on The Walking Dead, so expect to make some tough calls where not everyone lives happily ever after.

Fables: The Wolf Among Us is due later this year on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

The Fables books are pretty great. Big influence on "Once Upon A Time". Looking forward to this game.

Never heard of this Fables universe, but the game looks pretty badass. Nice find!

This is out on Friday people!

Cool!

Although I still find it weird when XBLA games come out on Fridays...
