Speaking on the Dropped Frames podcast (via VGC), Spencer said: Take confidence in Playground Games, says Phil Spencerįable 4 is being created by Playground Games, the studio perhaps best-known for its work on the Forza Horizon series but Phil Spencer wants fans to have confidence in the studio. Speaking during a recent IGN podcast, Spencer touched on the tone of Fable in comparison to Elder Scrolls and upcoming Xbox exclusive Avowed, saying, “Fable’s always been a little more light-hearted and a little more British, I think I could say, and I think Playground will keep it there,” adding, “Elder Scrolls 6 is further out, and when that comes out I think it's going to be incredible.” You’ll probably see it before Elder Scrolls 6įable 4 might be a while away but it seems possible that you’ll get to play it before the Elder Scrolls 6, according to Phil Spencer. In our opinion, the kind of sword-and-spells combat of The Witcher 3, one of the bestselling video games of all time, would be a perfect template for a Fable game, especially given how similar some of in-game spells are. As reported by PCGamesN, gameplay designer Paweł Kapała is heading up the combat at Fable developer Playground Games, with his LinkedIn page confirming the role entails 'designing and implementing combat in Fable.' Though we don’t know a huge amount about Fable at the moment, the idea that it’s been in the works for multiple years gives us some hope that we could learn more in the near future.įable 4's combat could feel like The WitcherĪ developer from CD Projekt RED (The Witcher series, Cyberpunk 2077) will be working on the game's combat system. That means the game’s been in development for at least four years and that development possibly started just a year after series creator, Lionhead Studios, was closed.
