It represents the point where Lionhead was running on all cylinders, and delivering on much of the promise that the original game – beloved as it is – fell short on delivering. The quintessential Fable game for me is the second one, Fable 2. Is it even possible to capture that magic again after all these years, with the original talent scattered to the wind? We know from various job postings that Playground has assembled a great team to put this new Fable chapter together, and there’s no doubt in my mind that they can pull off a decent open-world action RPG in the Fable style.īut I do wonder if it could really, truly, be a Fable game.
But Lionhead’s legacy lives on in the enduring hunger for a new Fable game, a wish currently being fulfilled by the good people over at Playground Games, the beloved Forza Horizon factory that is one of Xbox Game Studios’ best assets. Still, he blew it, and that’s the end of that. The industry felt so much more exciting back then. Though he fell from grace from peddling one too many wheelbarrows of nonsense, culminating in some frankly shoddy treatment of an unsuspecting competition winner, part of me wishes he was still a big shot: making his deranged RPGs, doing his absurd interviews. And, I would argue just as tragically, it would be the end of Molyneux as a major player. It’s a tragic end to one of Britain’s best, and best loved, game studios, as wonderfully reported by Wes over on Eurogamer back in 2019. Watch on YouTube With Fable, Avowed, and Starfield well on the way, Xbox looks set to become an RPG powerhouse once again. To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
