Originally released in 2004, the Fable series has seen a handful of successful entries, though interest in the series eventually fizzled out after Fable: The Journey released for Xbox Kinect. The game will be made with the Forzatech game engine, which means it can be expected that the game will look absolutely gorgeous. Announced as ' Fable' in July of 2020, not very much is known about the new entry in the Fable series, but fans are surely excited to revisit Albion and carve their own heroic tale. It’s been a rocky road, but Fable has been plagued with drama from the get-go - it seems that fans wouldn’t want it any other way.Fable 4 as fans are calling it is currently being developed by PlayGround Games, the studio behind the Forza Horizon series. #Fable #PlaygroundGames #XboxGameStudios #Xbox /5Uw3zbmPByįable 4 seems like it’s still somewhere over the horizon, but with the chatter ramping up, the world is clearly ready for a return to Albion (that is if it survived: see the aforementioned asteroid strike). And Toby Hynes might just be the perfect man for the job.Īs of tomorrow I will be starting a new chapter as Character Lead on a little game they are working on. The Fable series has taken a lot of inspiration from folklore and fairy tales, yet there are still many myths to plunder for exciting monsters. Hynes will be taking on the role of Character Lead, meaning he will be responsible for populating the game world of Fable 4 with memorable creatures. One of the most exciting recruits is none other than Toby Hynes, who has just finished his stint at iconic game studio Rare ( Sea of Thieves, Golden Eye). It has been well-documented that Playground are hiring plenty of new staff to help with the development of Fable 4. That said, the reinforcements were called in to bulk up the studio, with a workforce of 200 with their noses to the grindstone on this one. Also, according to this job posting, the same engine that powers the Forza Horizon series, ForzaTech, is being used on Fable 4. No doubt Microsoft is hoping for the praise that has been heaped Forza to be applied to the new Fable. So, it remains to be seen whether Playground can keep everyone happy with the release of Fable 4. That said, the team in question is very talented, and I’m sure they’ll do a fantastic job.” Fable is a weird game, and a tough one to deconstruct for a new team. “… it is a little curious to get rid of the team that is uniquely expert in making Fable, and then try and make Fable. Fable’s co-creator, Simon Carter told Eurogamer: “I have slightly mixed feelings.” He went onto explain: Little wonder there have been misgivings from the original crew. It’s pretty heavy circumstances in which to pick up the baton, move the game into the next generation, and keep all the fans happy. Think about it: one team has created Fable from day one, was shut down, only for the legacy of this classic to be trusted to another company.
#Fable 4 game movie
It’s like the challenge of making a new Star Wars movie - there’s stuff that everyone wants you to bring along, but then you’ve got a responsibility to take that to new places and I trust Playground has a good vision for that.”īeyond excited to announce we’re making Fable, a new beginning for the legendary franchise! “With any kind of franchise like that, where you’ve had existing versions, there’s always that balance between what you’re going to bring forward, what still stands up, and what you want to add that’s new. But in an interview with The Guardian, head of Xbox Studios Matt Booty hinted at a sequel that would keep the traditions of the series in tact: Talk of transforming Fable into an MMO took root, apparently born from the need to change direction.
It’s hard to see this turn of events avoiding the Glomar response in the near future, but one persistent rumour has seemingly been put to bed. Albion and Aurora gone though? And not just gone, but destroyed by an asteroid, at the behest of a ‘Mad King’? Maybe ‘shakeup’ was a bit of an understatement. But there’s little doubt this ‘Optimised for Xbox Series X’ title is going to look and sound seriously good.Īccording to a Reddit thread on a Fable leak back in 2019, things might be set for a shakeup. And though the pitch-perfect trailer (complete with its own twist!) is enough to get the blood pumping - with its gorgeous, intoxicatingly rendered fantasy world and awe-inspiring VO - a gameplay video is yet to appear.
