Telltale(makers of last years The Walking Dead) is currently in production of their new game. Like last year's critically lauded game, The Wolf Among Us is based on a popular comic series Fables. Telltale couldn't use the actual name Fables, due to copyrights with the X-box exclusive game Fable.
For those not familiar with the Fables comic series...

Fables is a comic book series created by writer Bill Willingham, published by DC Comics's Vertigo imprint beginning in 2002. The series deals with various characters from fairy tales and folklore – referring to themselves as "Fables" – who have been forced out of their Homelands by "The Adversary" who has conquered the realm. The Fables have traveled to our world and formed a clandestine community in New York City known as Fabletown. Fables who are unable to blend in with human society (such as monsters and anthropomorphic animals) live at "the Farm" in upstate New York.

The main character will be Bigby Wolf(the Big Bad Wolf reformed and in human form), and he is the sheriff tracking down crimes. He will even interrogate characters of his own past. You will see many characters you're familiar with in likes of, Snow White, Prince Charming, Ole King Cole, Beauty and Beast. There will be many characters that you might not be so familiar with, or can't quite place including Rose Red(White's sister), Buffkin(one of OZ's flying monkeys), and Frau Totenkinder(witch of Hansel and Gretel fame).
