Rumors of a newFablegame first appeared a couple of years ago, when it was leaked thatForza HorizonstudioPlayground Games was working onFable 4. Then at E3 2018, Head of Xbox Phil Spencer confirmed that Playground Games was working on an open world RPG, fueling speculation that the studio is indeed developingFable 4as rumored. Now all signs point to aFable 4announcement coming at E3 2019, with some new evidence supporting that theory.
As spotted by Reddit user snow9876, Microsoft’s Mixer streaming service now hasFable 4appearing in the search bar when players go to select what game they’re streaming. It’s possible that this means nothing, but it could also be a sign thatFable 4will be announced at E3 2019 as has been predicted/leaked.
The most recent leak came from a NeoGAF poster claiming to be an industry insider. The poster supposedly leaked Microsoft’s entire E3 2019 press conference, which included the announcement of aFablereboot. They also claimed that the newFablegame wouldn’t be coming to Xbox One, but rather, it will be making its way to the next-generation Xbox console instead.
If theMicrosoft E3 2019 leakis to be believed, all fans will get of the nextFableat E3 is a cinematic teaser trailer. While this may be disappointing for some fans, it makes sense if the game is aiming for the next-generation Xbox and a 2021 release date as the leaker suggested.
While fans should take all of this information with a grain of salt and keep their expectations in check, there does seem to be enough evidence to conclude that a newFablegame is in development. Whether or not that newFablefollows the story ofFable 3or if it is a reboot is up in the air, but hopefully we’ll have answers come Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference in June.
Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference will take place on June 9 at 1:00pm PT.
