Fable
The long-awaited fourth Fable game has a lot to prove. It’s the first entry in the cheeky action RPG series since the shutdown of original developer Lionhead Studios, and it’s been 15 years since the lukewarm reception to Fable III in 2010. A lot has happened in RPGs since, and some of the things that made the first two Fable games so notable have become outdated relics of a time long gone.
Fable is dragging the realm of Albion into the era of open-world RPGs, but will it also modernize the dated good/evil morality system that Fable III tried to add a bit of nuance to? How will new developer Playground Games balance drawing from the groundwork Lionhead laid and keeping pace with all the other influential RPGs that have come since? I’m excited to see what the team has been cooking when Fable comes to PC and Xbox Series X/S. – Kenneth Shepard
