Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios have both been working on the Forza franchise in the past several years. Playground Games develops the Forza Horizon series, while Turn 10 Studios develops Forza Motorsport.

Publisher Microsoft and developer Playground Games during the Xbox Games Showcase in July announced a new entry in the Fable franchise for the Xbox Series X and PC. "A new beginning for the legendary franchise," reads the announcement post. "Explore a land of fantastical creatures and wondrous places. Developed by Playground Games for Xbox Series X, and Windows 10 and coming to Xbox Game Pass."

Design Architect at Turn 10 Studios Bill Geise on his LinkedIn profile mentions he is working on Forza, as well as Fable. This suggests the studio might be providing development support to Playground Games on the new Fable game.

Geise has been working at Turn 10 Studios since 2004 and has worked on every Forza Motorsport game.

I read it as "Top 10" studios and was looking for a list.

It's not surprising as many games are developed with other internal studios if it's a first party developer

I said it before and I will say it again. If you want a great fantasy RPG then you need to get the best sim racing studios working on it.

Yep, who needs a single member of the visionary studio that created the other games, let alone the guy who created the series?

It might end up good, but they will need to prove it. Brand alone isn’t enough for a foregone conclusion of quality.

Honestly, the only great Fable game is Fable 2. The original didn't age well. There are things I loved about Fable 3, but the game was tedious. I'll say this, by current standards it needs to be something much better than the previous games.
