The latest nugget information, not that Fable 4 is official, comes in the form of a developer insider noting that the game will be an open-world RPG, not a massively multiplayer online game. The leak detailed how Albion, the land of Fable, has been completely destroyed by an asteroid called down by a mad king who took control of The Spire, which Fable 2 fans will remember was something you needed to wrest control of from tyrant Lucien Fairfax. Then in 2019, a massive Fable 4 leak on Reddit (opens in new tab) popped up around E3 2019, though the game was never showcased. That studio seems to be Playground Games. In 2018 Don Williamson, the former Lionhead lead engine programmer, tweeted that he knew of a studio working on Fable 4, though he has since deleted the tweet.

A placeholder for the Twitter account was spotted being followed by a Microsoft employee, which caused speculation around the game's potential announcement. ![]() But the latest and greatest one comes courtesy of a well-known insider going by the name of Klobrille on the Resetera games forum, who has claimed Fable 4 will be revealed at the Xbox 20/20 games showcase on June 23. That claim was proven to be true.īefore that reveal, Fable 4's future looked a lot hazier. There had been a lot of little hints at the existence of Fable 4. It will apparently arrive before The Elder Scrolls 6, but that game is almost certainly years away, so don't hold your breath for Fable 4 any time soon. We'd not be surprised if late 2023 or 2024 ends up being the rough release windows for Fable 4. With no mention of the game at the last Xbox showcase, we can pretty much guarantee Fable 4 isn't coming for at least another 12 months. This endorsement by the Bloomberg reporter made netizens take seriously the information shared by “Hevy008” and point out the fact that, until now, the ability of players to manually pilot their spaceship in Starfield had not been officially disclosed.Fable 4 is going back to its swords and sorcery roots (Image credit: Microsoft)įable 4 is being worked on but that's about all we know. Okay, but why trust that a random ResetEra user is really a former artist from the developer? Basically, because journalist Jason Schreier, one of the most well-connected behind-the-scenes guys in the gaming industry, confirmed that the guy actually worked at Bethesda. The former Bethesda employee also said that he thought the engine used in the project was crap – more in terms of development, not the quality of its results –, that the company is a great place to work and that Todd Howard is very charismatic, even on a daily basis. In his words, it would be such abundant content that the developer may choose to cut out some things to be able to launch the game on the stipulated date. “Hevy008” also said that Starfield has more and more content being added to the game. The lighting and stuff is getting better and better, although it’s not at the level of Horizon Forbidden West or anything like that, but it’s still a pretty good game.” ![]() “Shooting is cool, flying is terrible at the moment, it’s not fun for me. Afterwards, he went on to talk about Bethesda’s new space franchise, including its graphics and gameplay. In a sequence of posts on the ResetEra forum, user “Hevy008” revealed that he worked until very recently at the studio – as a character designer – and made a series of comments about the in-house games, with a special focus on Starfield details.įirst, the artist said that most of the rumors that circulated this week about Skyrim’s successor, The Elder Scrolls VI, are false. The detail here is that the latest leaks about space gaming come not from just any internet user, but from a former Bethesda employee. With starfield, this could not be otherwise. Whenever a highly anticipated game is looming on the horizon, it is inevitable that there will be a veritable barrage of leaks and rumors about it.
