It should look pretty good as well, as it's tipped to use Unreal engine (possibly the new Unreal Engine 5 we've already seen in action on PS5). As this is a Fable game, there’ll be in-depth character creation and likely a lot of moral choices to make that influence how people perceive the player’s character. Players can allegedly ignore the main quest to become a hero and instead go around building towns.īut if they do pursue the quest, it will apparently involve time travelling and will see the return of the first game’s antagonist Jack of Blades. More interesting is the suggestion that Fable 4 will be completely open, suggesting a larger open-world game than the previous Fable games. Multiplayer is also expected, likely in the form of co-op exploration, though there’s been no clue to how it’ll be implemented. Oh, and there will be other planets too, as the Heroes’ Guild and enigmatic character Theresa have to take shelter on a different planet that can be accessed via a Demon Door - think portal to another world or area.Īs odd as that sounds, the leak implies that Fable 4 will have a similar medieval setting to the first game, with Fable 2’s muskets and pistols replaced by more swords and sorcery. The asteroid impact results in “a land reduced to fables” and the leaked information indicated that Fable 4 will take place on another continent. “It’s like the challenge of making a new Star Wars movie-there’s stuff that everyone wants you to bring along, but then you’ve got a responsibility to that, to new places and I trust Playground has a good vision for that.” Fable 4 setting and gameplay “With any kind of franchise like that, where you’ve had existing versions, there’s always that balance between what you’re going to bring forward, what still stands up, and what you want to add that’s new,” Booty explained. An MMO would be one such way to do this, but Fable 4 won’t go down that road.

In an interview with The Guardian, Microsoft head of studios Matt Booty noted that such MMO rumors stem from the idea that Fable 4 needs to do something new to the series to keep it fresh but not go too far off the beaten path. As such, we can expect it to be a game with a large world to explore yet with a strong single-player element to it welcome news for dedicated fans of Fable.

There had been some worry that as the game's trailer teased a large world, that it would be something in the vein of World of Warcraft.īut while there will be online elements, such as co-operative functionality or limited shared open spaces, the source behind the information told Windows Central (opens in new tab) that the game most definitely won't be an MMO. The latest nugget information, not that Fable 4 is official, comes in the form of a developer insider noting that the game will be an open-world RPG, not a massively multiplayer online game.

The leak detailed how Albion, the land of Fable, has been completely destroyed by an asteroid called down by a mad king who took control of The Spire, which Fable 2 fans will remember was something you needed to wrest control of from tyrant Lucien Fairfax. Some three years ago, a massive Fable 4 leak on Reddit (opens in new tab) popped up around E3 2019, though the game was never showcased. Fable 4 leaks and speculationĪside from some minor tidbits of information, we've not had a big inofation drop about Fable 4 since 2019. It will apparently arrive before The Elder Scrolls 6, but that game is almost certainly years away, so don't hold your breath for Fable 4 any time soon.

We'd not be surprised if 2024 ends up being the rough release windows for Fable 4. With no mention of the game at the last Xbox showcase, we can pretty much guarantee Fable 4 isn't coming for at least another 12 months.
