Our colleagues at IGN have debuted a trailer for the much anticipated (and now rather late) second episode of The Wolf Among Us. Viewer discretion, this is not for the faint hearted. Now, the trailer itself is not particularly graphic in itself, but the implications set a decidedly dark tone. And not this faux, tortured angst kind of dark. This is a Bigby Wolf who has firmly committed himself to doing some very ugly things and though he is questioning their usefulness, at no point is he expressing any remorse.

Now that my friends, that is how you do dark.

Episode 2, titled Smoke and Mirrors, promises to be not only physically violent, but also thematically and, more important, emotionally. The only complaint to be raised here is that it maddeningly tells us only that it will be 'coming soon', which is just plain mean spirited. Now that, that is dark. However, the good news is that we have reliable, if tenuous, indication that soon may, in fact, be as soon as the first week of February. Though as Telltale have given no official comment on the matter as yet, take that very loosely under advisement.

Cannot fucking wait!
