One leak mentioned building towns. It’s no surprise that town building was mentioned as that is the next logical step to build on the town management feature in older games. Playground Games will do their own thing with the game, and, hopefully, that includes staying true to the original games’ charm in some way or form. Some worry that without Lionhead Studios at the helm, Fable will lose that charm but I really hope it doesn’t. It made the series stand out from other fantasy games at the time and the odd humour added so much character to it. One thing that Fable really has going for it was that good Ol’ Fable charm, which is a perfect match between fairy tale-esque fantasy and raw British humour. It’ll be interesting to see Playground Games tackle an open-world that is designed to be explored on foot rather than in a fast car. A completely open-world would do the series a ton of good or bad depending on whether it is populated with interesting things to do and see. The loading screens between regions in the original games got a little annoying after a while. This was also the next logical step in the Fable series, an opportunity which seemed missed with Fable III in 2010. This was quite obvious from the beginning as Playground Games are the minds behind Forza Horizon, a game that prides itself on its open-world. One of the points in the leak mentioned a world that was completely open. So, if Sunday night’s E3 conference could just hurry up and get here already, that would be great! However, there’s still an array of other things I still want to see though. I have added a few of the recent leaks to my wishlist just in case they were greatly exaggerated. With a recent leak pointing to a completely open-world, multiplayer, settlement building and a world reset, one conversation that keeps popping up is: “What do you want to see from Fable IV?” I know it, you know it, the cats and dogs know it. Countless leaks and job listings have pointed to the fact that Playground Games is making a new Fable game. Much like the Splinter Cell reboot being developed.It’s all but officially confirmed now. The Sword of Aeons' appearance in this trailer is an obvious signifier that they're rebooting the franchise in the model of the first game. In that period magical heroes still roamed the land and attended heroes guilds, whereas by the time-period of the 2nd game, Albion has been somewhat modernized and magic is far rarer. It's symbolic of the more divine and fantastical nature of the first game. If you didn't play Fable 1, this is basically the mightiest sword in the realm, and it was bloodforged long before the Old Kingdom. And our main reasoning for this is based on the sword you first see: This is the Sword of Aeons from Fable 1, which suggests we're returning to that older time-period, and that Albion. We're actually thinking that it's more likely we return to the mythical times of the 1st game rather than the second. ![]() The city in the background and the surrounding landscape effectively confirm that we're getting an Albion set around the Fable 2 period at the very latest. And our reasoning for this comes from the reveal trailer, which seems to give away the setting of Fable 4. Our money is on an RPG reboot in the style of the first game that takes place after the rise of Jake of Blades but before the events of the second game. Although stranger projects have been commissioned, so it’s possible. ![]() It wouldn't suit the franchise, and it would seem like a stretch for the developers. But his claim that it will be an MMO is honestly quite unlikely. This was tweeted before the reveal, and so we're quite sure that this leaker has some inside knowledge. Rough translation: "A game in the world of FABLE. Mais en MMO (desole, pas FABLE 4).- Crono Trigger July 23, 2020 ![]() Here's that leak:Įt pour le plus grand bonheur de : un jeu dans l'univers de FABLE. Will Fable 4 be an RPG or an MMO?Īlthough it will likely be an RPG, one leaker claimed that the game from Playground Games will be an MMO. There's a very small chance that the game is released in 2022, but we don't want anyone to get too excited ahead of time. 2023 is also most likely, given that the reveal took place in mid 2020. Fable wouldn't compete with the big multiplayer releases that we expect each year in the fall, so a spring or summer release make the most sense. Fable 4 will most likely be released in early 2023, but it could be delayed into the late summer of 2023.
