In an interview with Eurogamer, former Lionhead employee and Fable co-creator Simon Carter said that he was excited to see what's next for the upcoming instalment to the game franchise. However, Molyneux then left Lionhead Studios in 2012 which alienated many fans from the franchise.
Fable II and III were both more much more successful. However, the first game didn't do as well as expected, leaving the company in crippling debt and Lionhead was bought by Microsoft Game Studios. Playground Games and Microsoft haven’t revealed a Fable 4 release window, but it’s possible that they could be aiming for a 2024 launch. Once upon a time, Fable was developed by Lionhead Studios and famously hyped-up by lead designer and Lionhead co-founder Peter Molyneux. A 2024 Release for Fable 4 Would Make Sense. However, the tale of Fable certainly hasn't been an easy one. The trailer released by the studio received high-praise from Fable fans for the keeping the fun silliness of the previous games. They will showcase unparalleled load-times, visuals, responsiveness, and framerates up to 120FPS.
Fable 4 game series#
One of which, by French journalist CronoTK, being that the game is not a sequel to the games at all but, rather, an MMO set in the world of Fable.įable 4 is currently being built by Playground Games, the game developer now owned by Microsoft's Xbox Game Studios, based in Leamington Spa, England. Games built using the Xbox Series XS development kit are designed to take advantage of the unique capabilities of the Xbox Series XS. Just exactly how "new" it will be has lead to a lot of rumours to circulate. This choice of game engine is just of one of the big changes that Microsoft has promised about Fable's "new beginning".
Fable 4 game software#
The news of Fable 4's game engine was not officially announced, but rather a job post for a software engineer by Microsoft said it was: "Enriching the toolset to support an open world action RPG – Fable." However, it's not a huge surprise given how the graphics of the Forza Horizon game series have been highly-acclaimed over the years. The fantastical creatures and magical lands of Fable seem a far cry from the energy-fuelled car races in Playground's other popular franchise, Forza Horizon. The game will supposedly release on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.Beyond excited to announce we're making Fable, a new beginning for the legendary franchise! įable 4 is being built using the ForzaTech engine. Fable 4 was announced as Fable during the Xbox Series X games showcase this month, and the long-awaited reveal has us hungry for a deeper look at what Playground Games' upcoming title has to offer.
Fable 4 game update#
We haven’t gotten a trailer in the roughly year and a half since E3 2020, so who knows if this year will be different.Ĭonsidering we haven’t had a mainline Fable game since Fable 3 all the way back in 2010, hopefully waiting this long for a new Fable game will end up being worth it, especially without Peter Molyneux being involved to promise the world and be unable to deliver like he has with numerous other non-Fable projects.Įither way, even if there’s still no Fable 4 news as of yet, hopefully Loake’s presence on the team will herald some kind of progress update at some point in the future, whether it’s another trailer (hopefully with a release window) or even gameplay. While we still haven’t seen anything of Fable 4 yet, this is still a helpful bit of news, as it lets us know that the game is still being worked on, though who knows how far along they are. We haven’t seen any real information about the upcoming Fable game except for a reveal trailer at E3 2020, but considering Playground’s past work with the Forza Horizon games, hopefully transitioning from racing to an action-adventure RPG game will work out well, especially with someone who’s familiar with the game helping out.Īlongside helping out with Fable Legends before its abrupt cancellation and Lionhead’s closing, Amie Loake was also part of the test team for Fable Anniversary, a remaster of the original Fable game that came out back in 2014 on the game’s tenth anniversary (Fable originally released on the original Xbox in 2004). Previously, Loake had worked at Lionhead Studios from 2013 to 2016, and had helped out with Fable Legends during that time, so she’ll likely be an important addition. According to a recent tweet, Amie Loake will be joining the team as the senior producer.
A new face is joining the Fable 4 team at Playground Games.
