No games till 2023! thats a fun one! /s
I actually had some strong opinions about thatā¦
Fable will not be an MMO
Fable 2 and 3 had sparse online interconnectivity.
Remember how in Forza Horizon 4 you could see āghost carsā that represent other players and you could interact with them or ignore them completely for a true single player experience? That is likely what Fable ends up being.

If Fable has online then Playground likely went back to look at Lionheadās original Project Ego pitch document which had up to eight player co-op raids planned back when it was a Dreamcast game. So youāll likely have limited co-op in set scenarios or the ability to have a party. Where it gets intersting is what Lionhead wanted to achieve in the world where player actions could influence the updates to the world. Sea Of Thieves already does this but Playground could take the concept further. Lionhead cut it because it was stupidly ambitious for the time and not everyone was online enough for it to be workable. But it is an interesting wrinkle that the actions of the player base could change the world that doesnāt need a MMO set up.

Fableās development is so weird to me, it must of been in development since 2017 at least, for its quasi-reveal in 2018.
But now, 2021, in the last year the lead writer and senior scriptwriter have only just started. This means VA hasnāt started and recruitment is maybe only just starting.
A lot of time mustāve been reserved for the design elements / engine development.
Man I so love the sound of this. I think Fable is honestly a perfect fit for connected world elements.
With the risk of sounding like Hindle, Iād say Fable is most likely a 2024 game.

Didnt sponger say it was 2024? I cant remember what he said about the game it was a while ago
nvm he said donāt expect it to be before 2024. Im not sure if im reading what he said wrong but it seems like it will be like witcher 3 in size and scope comparing the team sizes with next gen destruction in mind
Yall really think fables gonna be a mmo? LOL its gonna have co-op aspects but its def gonna be a single-player experience for the most part
Damnit, I want to see what InXile is cooking so badly, I have so much faith in them as an Xbox studio

I would like an mmo in the world of fable but they need to get the single player game right first which I believe they will
Yeah this is the one people universally agree is the furthest out probably lol.
inXile next title will possibly be the last one to release between first party teams?
As far as I know yes even Indiana might release before it
