Fable Delayed to 2026

They've barely started development on UE5, think 2030
Are you sure they are starting from scratch? It's art, everything matters, plot, objects, atmosphere, who's in the story. This isn't doom or Duke Nukem case, I'd say in 3 years like when they used to be in xbox og era.

EDMIX EDMIX gonna get some serious blue balls having to wait to 2026 for this sweet piece of ass.

lol is that even like a set character or is that like the default make a character stand in type person? I don't think I'll even make a female when that game comes out as the first 2 fable games I just made a male, but that was so long ago

I also have no clue who thought this was really coming 2025 with how limited the info was on it.

Yeah I hope they let us make our own character and role play however we want. That was like 80% of the fun of the previous games.

But all they've shown is that lady in every promo, they haven't shown a character creator or mentioned anything about being able to make your own. So who knows. It'll probably be a pass from me if they make us play as some predefined character.
 
For reference, Lionhead Studios managed to put out the first three Fable games in 2004, 2008, and 2010. Playground Studios is looking like they're needing a minimum of 6 years to make this game and I'd put money down it's not going to be as good as the originals.

I think the industry needs to spend some time rethinking how they produce these AAA games because these 6+ year production cycles are straight up embarrassing.
 
Anyone who's played Forza Horizon knows that every single aspect of it outside of the racing is nails on a chalkboard. Idk who watched the dialog in Forza Horizon and thought "these writers need to make an RPG".
 
They're probably having an internal war going on between 1 group who want to make the game like a Fable game, and 1 group who want to have themselves represented and insert their own fantasies into the game.

True, because they haven't shown much, I assume we haven't seen that yet because they are not ready for a deep dive. For me to feel 2025 is a legit solid year, we should have already had some of that prior , but to not even have any gameplay walkthrough tells me its a ways out and I feel its first big showing will likely show that character creator as that is so much of the original concept.

If its really missing it, it might be a pass for me as shit...this is taking a massive chance on a team that never made this before, to remove a core concept like that means we are not even getting the general idea of that IP then.

So I like how it looks, but that isn't enough for a day 1, we need a lot more to support that style like gameplay, features etc. So we'll see
 
MS just delays their games. WB SHUTS DOWN THE STUDIOS.
MS waits until after the game ships and flops before shutting down the studio

This is because MS is swimming in money and has all the time in the world to let a studio hang itself but WB has been doing nothing but losing money and is desperate to shut down productions which have zero hope of ever breaking even much less turn a profit

Embarrassing? It's killing them

If you put out nothing for 6 years, then what you do put out bombs or even has lukewarm reception? Ain't nobody gonna fund your staff and studio for another 6.

How many formerly great/name-brand studios have shuttered or are on life support in the last 3 years?
 
Can you do one for sonys playstation first party ip please dude. Would be good to compare.

Probs go back to 2018 like the xbox one.
Sony didn't announce any single PS5 game until the Future of Gaming event on June 11, 2020, with every title shown there being ultimately released up to March 4, 2022 with Gran Turismo 7.

Big budget game in development since pre-pandemic featuring a Strong Female Protagonist, sequel to a series whose heyday was on the Xbox 360…..yeah the odds ain't looking good for this one. Definitely have 0 expectations and will be pleasantly surprised if it's good.

You mean 9 years, right?

I did not include the yearly MLB The Show games as well as some kind of irrelevant releases such as Ghost of Tsushima Legends and My First Gran Turismo, and also the ports/remasters. In the case of Stellar Blade, Lost Soul Aside and Convallaria, it's the date of announcement of those games being published by SIE.
