Fable was teased with some iconic British Actors, it looks like Fable is going to be a very British game, its being developed by Playground Games who made Forza Horizon series.

    The tone is exactly what I’m looking for, and I’ll be cautiously hopeful for a return to form for the series! Peter Molyneux has a bit of a history of over promising and under delivering, but the PR team around this project has mercifully been able to keep Peter from shoving his foot in his own mouth so far. Here’s hoping that playground really takes their time with this one.

      I don’t think Peter is actually on the team for this game. It was my understanding that it’s a new studio.

        It’s by Playground Games; Lionhead Studios was shuttered half a decade ago.

    I’m sure fans will be very excited but as someone who has never played Fable, I still have no idea what it’s about.

      Whats stopping you? I would definitely start at fable anniversary , move to 2 and 3. It isnt a special, or really graphically stunning game series but its a very charming one. The accents, the small details to the scenery, the easily abusable magic system are great additions. Especially magic being overpowered for once is a fresh breath of air.

      This is one of those must play series for Action RPG fans. The soundtracks are also carefully catered which is very nice.

      Also being a landlord is OP in literally every entry in this series which is kind of hilarious as a real world reflection. Just sleep and collect rent from people.

    Wow, this one was not on my radar, but got me excited! Played a lot of Fable 2 and 3, and if this one manages to keep a bit of the fun of those games, it should be a great time.

    If the game is nothing but a giant Richard Ayoade chasing my around his castle then I’m in.

    Finally Fable returns! It’s so nostalgic for me. Hopefully we’ll see some gameplay soon. And thank you Xbox for acknowledging PC exists. Square Enix has burned me by making both new FF releases timed PS exclusives.
