Xbox Game Studios' Playground Games has two teams with one team about to release Forza Horizon 5 on November 9. The second team is working on a new entry in the popular Xbox series, Fable, for the Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Fable lead engineer Tom Golton via Twitter revealed the game has been in development for at least four years as he said "4 years of working on Fable at [Playground Games]. So excited for this game." This means the game has been in development since 2017.

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer previously said he and the Fable team "can’t wait to get to show more."

A life-long and avid gamer, William D'Angelo was first introduced to VGChartz in 2007. After years of supporting the site, he was brought on in 2010 as a junior analyst, working his way up to lead analyst in 2012. He has expanded his involvement in the gaming community by producing content on his own YouTube channel and Twitch channel dedicated to gaming Let's Plays and tutorials.

This will be great. Maybe it's already releasing next year.

Great based on what...? It's Fable in concept only, there's no one involved in the previous games developing it as far as we know, and the company making it has only made racing games in the past. There's zero reason to be hyped until actual gameplay is shown.

It just seems like they put alot of effort into it.
A franchise doesn't necessarily always need to have the same developers to stay great.

If I were you I would have argued more with poster that said this could be the best rpg of the last 10 years. Someone stating this will be great when being made by a great developer seems like a fair assessment.

I have been hanging for a Fable to draw me in since Fable 2.

Fable 3 was okay... But the time skip made the game feel woefully incomplete... Despite the strong premise.

4 years? I didn't think they started development back in 2017, but good to know.
