I won’t hold my breath for this to be released at all.

Surprised it wasn’t cancelled and the entire team laid off given MSs track record recently.

Fable was announced in 2020 alongside the new Xbox Series consoles to promote them as a major tentpole AAA game, and might end up as a game for the next gen Xbox at this point.
At this point I’m starting to think they have been delaying it until the PlayStation version is ready for a day 1 release to maximize sales

I dont think the danger is moving to 2027, but being cancelled.

Everything I’ve seen about this game is not great. Surprised that it wasn’t canned with all the layoffs Microsoft did.

Ah, twistedvoxel, the site that steals content from other creators and makes it look like their own.
What’s funny is that when the stream that’s the source of the info got posted to gamingleaksandrumours, one of the content creators of the stream even poked fun at the info in that reddit post.

This is just a rumor from someone with a terrible track record. I kinda think we should keep the rumors over in /r/GamingLeaksAndRumours and stick with more concrete info for the main gaming subs

The sourcing on this is garbage. Ignore until/unless better sourcing happens.

> Based on what Nick’s sources have told him, Fable will not be released in 2026. He added that he’s heard it from two different people that the game may slip to 2027, and that’s not due to some sort of doom and gloom situation or development hell issues. According to him, development of Playground Games’ action role-playing game is just taking a little bit longer than expected.
Hmm, ill wait and see. Hard to tell with the current management of Xbox studios how things are progressing. Its a hot mess over there. And its been reported multiple times that Fable was having development issues and turnover of employees in the past.
In the end, Im always for an actually refined, better game than a broken mess. So if its more time they need, im for that. But a 9 year development…..not sure how thats gonna fly with the higher ups when then consider their bottom line. Fable 2 had something like 3.5 – 5 million lifetime sales. So they will take that into consideration.

I was sitting here trying to figure out who the hell May Miss is, could we not capitalize every word in a title?
redvelvetcake42
Yeah, no. It’s not coming out and if it ever does it’ll be a weak game that misses its mark like Dragon Age. Sad that’s how these series have gone. Mismanagement and buffoonery.

Fine by me as long as it comes out and is amazing.

Even from afar Peter Molyneux haunts his former IPs.

Take your time and make it worth playing.

Xbox’s problem is announcing way too early. They announced it with essentially a screenshot. Over time, Playground games has been given 2 additional teams(3 total). Pretty clear this game was not in the state to even be announced.
One thing I really admire about PlayStation is this seems far less common with them. Id rather more publishers follow their method of not showing anything, if you have nothing to show. Don’t go to some CGI studio to draw up a cgi trailer of how you hope the game turns out to be.
Id rather see smaller events with games that are actually going to release within 2 years, than big hype events with games struggling not to be vaporware and titles that are being announced right after the conceptual phase.
Someone in Xbox marketing needs to go. I know they killed a ton of their marketing department, but there’s no way in hell they can’t do better than they currently are with online messaging. Announce your game when you’re confident it’s going to ship. Show gameplay and release the next year. Hell, I’ll give them 3 years from announcement, because they’ll likely have to balance what title is launching when to not over saturate their own release windows.

Does Xbox have any health potions? Or food?

If it actually makes it to release, i hope to god you can chose your gender like the old games because that character in the trailer does not look appealing to play.

Was Molyneux allowed anywhere near this game?

Oh no. /s

Fable is cursed. It’s always overambitious, misses release windows, and then ultimately disappoints the overly high expectations.
