Crossover Fighters are becoming commonplace with Sony's rumored "Title Fight" project in development. Microsoft may be the new kid on the block, but do their waters run deep enough to field a fighting franchise? For your consideration: Microsoft's Exclusive Crossover Fighter and the roster you'll probably never see in your lifetime.
Announced in 2020, Playground Games' open-world action RPG has seen sporadic updates and departures but still no release date.
You could say the same for any number of games that were stupidly announced during pre-production. Elder Scrolls 6 & Perfect Dark are current examples, Blade is another recent one and in the past Mass Effect Andromeda and Cyberpunk 2077 come to mind.
I don't think this game is in any trouble. For a start, Playground Games are one of the few under MS Studios that actually have a track record of delivering on time and with quality. We got a trailer last year and I'd fully expect there to be something more substantial at the next showcase in the summer.
No dramas here - just another victim of Microsoft's incompetence. They simply had to announce several games way too early because they had nothing else to talk about.
The same thing that happens to any project when you announce it far too early. Perfect Dark, Fable, The Elder Scrolls 6, Star Wars KOTOR Remake...you actually have to, I don't know, make the game?
I'm fairly confident this game will see the light of day, as Playground have released 5 Forza games of quality and on schedule. Think it was just revealed too early.
For those who don't have time for massive open worlds or role-playing games with epic tales, these 15 games are worth checking out.
Baldur's Gate 3 producer Ryan Clark, who worked at Larian Studios for four years, has joined Fable developer Playground Games
Xbox is definitely the house of RPGs and it´s getting bigger and better by the day!
Fable will be fantastic!
Still waiting to see what kind of game fable will be. Hope it has gargoyles...probably not.
Hope you can pick between male or female and choose something else to distinguish yourself during character creation.
Super excited for this and perfect dark...excited to see what they make that is. Don't have any high hopes but maybe MS can prove me wrong. Playground has been their studio for a long time and the initiative is their only new studio
This is a good get as Baldur's Gate 3 is highly regarded.
But this has to be a hire for their next game right? Why would Fable need a producer now?
Can't wait to see what their '10 year plan' is for Fable.....just like Halo and now Forza. I'm curious to see just how badly they fuck this up with online focused, drip fed content, design and gameplay. Because I know it's going to be nothing like the previous games and anyone expecting that is in for a nasty surprise.
You should read this. Yes, you. If only to call me delusional for considering such a premise.
The Aprentace will be cool to see in it with his attitude and awesome powers. Orcs Mist Die is an amazing game, I put 10 hours into it with out playing the DLC
It not an exclusive if you can play it elsewhere
Orcs Must Die (Steam)
Alan Wake (Steam)
Monday Night Combat (Steam)
Fable (Steam)
Jade Empire (Steam)
The point of a "Microsoft Exclusive" fighter would be to have "EXCLUSIVE" characters. So far, half the roster you have would be GUEST CHARACTERS, since the games they're from aren't owned by Microsoft and exist on other platforms.
OH, AND WE NEED MORE HALO CHARACTERS, AMIRITE?
Uh they don't have characters to make a Smash Bros style game....and the one they do have don't fit well in that kind of game.
