Speaking to The Guardian, Microsoft head of studios Matt Booty affirmed his faith in Playground Games and its work on the newFablegame.

In the same interview, Booty spoke about the great work and the “attention to detail” that Playground has shown in theForza Horizonseries. Fans worried that Playground is going to rip out everything that they know and like about theFableseries will also be glad to hear Booty say that he feels the development team has a “good vision.” Playground knows that it must add something new while keeping to its “responsibility” toFablefans.
Booty’s comments will have fans wondering what this could possibly mean for the new game. Though there had beenrumors that the newFablegame is an MMO, these have been refuted. Well-known figures in the industry have said that while the game may feature online gameplay, it is unlikely to be the full MMO that some had been talking about.
Fans are also wondering if thenewFablecould feature a move away from Albion’s industrial design. The teaser trailer suggested that the game will offer a much more fantastical version of Albion, where lush green valleys take the place of powerful machinery. This could be the new idea that Playground Games thought of, or it could just be one of several changes the developer is bringing to the series.
It’s unclear when fans will get tosee more of the newFablegame. Rumors aboutFable 4go back to 2018, when a report first leaked that Playground Games is developing the game. However, the developer also has a huge number of job listings open, for roles such as level designer, senior producer, and animation director, which may suggest that the game won’t be released for several years.
Fableis currently in development.
