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.
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.
Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.
Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.
Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.
I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh
Some are saying Starfield wont make it this year but we shall see.
Fable... hopefully we get more info but I dont want them to rush for the sake of releasing it sooner than its ready.
Sega... not likely but they will probably get another studio or two.
The updates part is an easy obvious. We all know they have big plans for Halo and Forza so I don't know why that is even a "prediction" when it is a "certainty".
Xcloud has been pretty good. I've used it on my consoles as well as my phone and PC. I like that it is included with my sub for GPU. I wish Sony would do the same with PSNow and PS+ in one.
Those feel like somewhat safe bets, safer than the ones in the accompanying PS article.
Starfield - Definitely.
Ton of updates for existing games - Very likely
Fable - I expect we'll see a considerable info dump + gameplay this year, but I still expect the release to be later than 2023
Major acquisition - Very likely given the track record
No console Xbox - This one I'd be less certain on, if they mean an actual 'Xbox streaming device'. If they just mean apps on TV's, then sure.
I see more tv app streaming. Sega….. could be and it would bring along their very large library. I’m hoping for some unannounced game coming out of left field.
Probably not much to expect from Xbox in 2022. I think 2023 is where they get some good surprises. The best thing for Xbox all of 2022 is going to be all the day 1 games on game pass.
