Microsoft has tasked UK developer Playground, which makes the Forza Horizon racing games for Xbox and PC, with creating this new Fable, sources close to the project have told Eurogamer. Microsoft said in a statement it does not comment on rumour or speculation.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    Interesting. I hope it doesnt change the Horizon delivery timeline. Those have become my go to racers. Still, I'm glad to see they arent letting Fable die out. I have some good memories of it.

    In what twisted reality is a dev known for making racing games chosen to make a semi open world rpg like fable it makes zero sense.

    I was an original Fable fan too, but I'm not sure how promising this is looking. It's more of a wait and see but I'm content believing the game was just a 1 hit (Fable II was alright) wonder.

    I'm going to just wait it out, hopefully see nothing about it, and if/when it releases look into if it is good or not. Promises of potential fable stories have hurt me in the past, so now I'm going to be pessimistic and wait to be proven wrong.

    Yes I do. Fable being garbage was confirmed with Fable 3. I like to play good games. Fable was a bad 3rd person RPG created by the master of lies Peter Molyneux.

    Some of the biggest outliers of games that are garbage.

    I mean, I agree with some of those. Definitely not the first two. I didn't think Fable 2 was all that bad.

    3rd Person, multiplatform, RPG elements? You might be by yourself on those for a checklist on what makes a game garbage.

    It looks like they've been hiring up a bunch of folks and opening another studio, so hopefully Horizon 4 doesn't get affected.
