Development studio Telltale Games confirms that it is working on a new episodic video game series built around the Fables and which is set to debut during the summer with a first title called The Wolf Among Us.

The game is set to launch on the PlayStation 3 from Sony, the Xbox 360 and the PC.

It will follow the story of Bigby Wolf as he is exiled from his fantasy world to real-life New York City.

The narrative will take place before the core Fables story and will be entirely original, with Telltale Games consulting with the comic book creator to ensure overall compatibility with the core Fables series.

Dan Connors, the chief executive officer at Telltale, is quoted by IGN as saying, "Through an evolution of our approach to choice and consequence, we can further explore the complexity of each and every iconic character in a universe rich with untold history from the darkest sides of the storybooks."
