WILL FABLE 4 EVER HAPPEN WINDOWS
There had been some worry that as the game's trailer teased a large world, that it would be something in the vein of World of Warcraft.īut while there will be online elements, such as co-operative functionality or limited shared open spaces, the source behind the information told Windows Central (opens in new tab) that the game most definitely won't be an MMO. The latest nugget information, not that Fable 4 is official, comes in the form of a developer insider noting that the game will be an open-world RPG, not a massively multiplayer online game. The leak detailed how Albion, the land of Fable, has been completely destroyed by an asteroid called down by a mad king who took control of The Spire, which Fable 2 fans will remember was something you needed to wrest control of from tyrant Lucien Fairfax. Then in 2019, a massive Fable 4 leak on Reddit (opens in new tab) popped up around E3 2019, though the game was never showcased. That studio seems to be Playground Games. In 2018 Don Williamson, the former Lionhead lead engine programmer, tweeted that he knew of a studio working on Fable 4, though he has since deleted the tweet. Microsoft Fable trademark hints at Fable 4 (Image credit: USPTO) These accounts have been inactive for years, it’s standard practice to secure social handles for our IP,” Greenberg said. “I know everyone is hungry for news, but sorry to get your hopes up. But then Aaron Greenberg, general manager at Xbox, shot down speculation that this could be a clue that a Fable 4 announcement was incoming. A placeholder for the Twitter account was spotted being followed by a Microsoft employee, which caused speculation around the game's potential announcement. But the latest and greatest one comes courtesy of a well-known insider going by the name of Klobrille on the Resetera games forum, who has claimed Fable 4 will be revealed at the Xbox 20/20 games showcase on June 23. That claim was proven to be true.īefore that reveal, Fable 4's future looked a lot hazier. There had been a lot of little hints at the existence of Fable 4. It will apparently arrive before The Elder Scrolls 6, but that game is almost certainly years away, so don't hold your breath for Fable 4 any time soon. We'd not be surprised if late 2023 or 2024 ends up being the rough release windows for Fable 4. With no mention of the game at the last Xbox showcase, we can pretty much guarantee Fable 4 isn't coming for at least another 12 months.
WILL FABLE 4 EVER HAPPEN PC
The game is also coming to PC ( not through Steam), but Microsoft has not yet said if it will launch on the same day as the console edition, with which it will support cross-platform play.Fable 4 is going back to its swords and sorcery roots (Image credit: Microsoft)įable 4 is being worked on but that's about all we know. "Microsoft has always encouraged Lionhead's history and practice of innovation, and when we came to the Xbox leadership with the core of the idea for Fable Legends, they were almost as enthusiastic as we were."įable Legends is due to launch this year on Xbox One, though a specific release date has not been announced. In a recent interview, director David Eckelberry was asked if Lionhead was pressured by Microsoft to make a "safer" Fable game like Fable 4 after the Xbox 360's Kinect game Fable: The Journey. This isn't the first time the subject of Fable 4 has come up. Lionhead plans to support the role-playing game with a "constant stream" of DLC for a period of up to 10 years if everything goes well. That game is due out sometime later this year.
As you'd expect, the developer is instead focusing on upcoming Xbox One and PC game Fable Legends, which the studio says will remain the company's priority "for the foreseeable future." Lionhead Studios is not currently working on Fable 4, the UK developer said today on Twitter.
