Is Microsoft releasing a new entry in the Fable series? There has been news about its return circulating for some time now, and the latest update is once again from Funhaus and ex-IGN employee, Alanah Pearce.
During the first episode of the Kinda Funny Xcast, Alanah reiterated how a new "Fable is being made" when she was asked about what she thought might be revealed at Microsoft's Xbox Games Showcase next week.
"Well, I know Fable is being made. I've said that a few times, it's not been announced, but there's just too many Microsoft employees have told me on the sly cause I'm excited about it. So I've had a bunch of people, like there was like five of them - and I was like, "look if it was just one of you I wouldn't be openly talking about this, but so many of you did this, that I'm just going to tell everyone". Fable is being made. I don't know by who, the guess has obviously been Playground, because they recently hired a bunch of people who have experience working on open-world games. I think Forza Horizon is currently my favourite racing series ever, so I have tons of faith in Playground, too - so Fable is happening."
In a recent YouTube video from earlier this month, Pearce was asked how likely a new Fable game was and said it was 100 percent happening, but doesn't know when exactly Microsoft will reveal it.
It is 100% likely a new Fable is being made. I promise. I know it's happening.
She's put it all on the line, again - what do you make of her comments? Do you think we'll see a new Fable game revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase on 23rd July? Share your thoughts down below.

I think it's fairly obvious that a new Fable is in the works at this point. It's very welcome though; the original trilogy hasn't aged particularly well.
I'm kinda hoping for a reboot that takes all the best aspects of the original games.
Never played a Fable game before so i'm gonna be all over this when it comes out..
Don't ever tell this woman a secret.
@Olliemar28 I played the first one this generation and it has aged so well, apart from weird controls and menus, that it feels fresher than most current-gen games.
@BlueOcean Agreed. They're still an absolute joy to play 😁
If it is playground, and they only recently hired people for it, we won’t see this game for another 3 years, if it does come through.
If it’s that early in development, and has nothing solid to show, I rather they don’t talk about it yet.
The only thing MS can get away with just showing a logo for, would be KOTOR 3, by obsidian. They would have to work out those licensing rights with EA and that would be hard, but it would be HUGE.
@LocalPenguin Can't wait to play II next ☺️.
@Tharsman that would be amazing. Kotor is probably my favorite rpg series ever. I was super disappointed in the old republic and how it finished Revans story.
@Olliemar28
The original trilogy has aged just fine. I am replaying all of them right now & having a great time.
I feel like this insider is just trying to get attention. So many people have spoken about the new Fable already its like a badly kept secret.
@Tharsman If it is playground its been in development since Horizon 4. So while not in the first year I would hope within the first two.
Especially as its likely Obsidian will work on an RPG that could be even further away.
Forzs Horizon 4 was released in 2018 so that's almost two years ago. I'm not that sure that they're making Fable though.
@BlueOcean It would suit Playground to a T. Fable is known for its British-centric settings, Playground just came off the back of a racing game with a British-centric setting, they would be an awesome fit for this, I will very surprised if they are not the lead dev on this.
@BlueOcean Fable 1 is the best, 2 is good, but the 3rd game is an odd one. I'd suggest playing the last game in co-op to make it more fun.
I love the British essence of Fable, I'm just not sure that Playground is making Fable 4 and not a racing game. The open-world of Horizon 4 is perfect-quality and something like that but in the past would be awesome, I don't have any doubts about it and Horizon 3 and 4 are probably the best racing games ever made. I just hope the writing is bold and British again.
@BlueOcean @Jaxx420 I don't believe it's the Horizon team making Fable, but a brand new second studio of Playground's which has been up and running for a couple of years now.
@TimG13 I have read that rumour somewhere. A next-gen open-world Fable-style RPG would be one of the best thing of the whole generation.
I'll believe it when I see it.
