Xbox fans have been waiting for years for the “Fable 4” announcement, and many thought they already got it when the “Fable” teaser was featured at the Xbox Games Showcase last week. A follow-up report, however, said that the very short trailer is not exactly for the next numbered installment but for a new massively multiplayer online (MMO) title.
‘Fable’ MMO and not ‘Fable 4’?
As many gamers hoped, an all-new “Fable” teaser was part of the virtual event last week. But once the excitement subsides and upon reviewing the trailer, one might realize that it actually does not make any direct reference to “Fable 4.”
The main “Fable” series is an action RPG with the latest installment, “Fable 3,” released in 2010. So the lack of direct indications of “Fable 4” sparked speculations that the next “Fable” title would be a series reboot. But a more interesting report has come from known leaker CronoTK suggesting that what Microsoft teased last week is an MMO game set in the “Fable” universe but “not ‘Fable 4.’”
This could mean that the franchise is following the same path as with “The Elder Scrolls” when Bethesda launched “Elder Scrolls Online” to follow the fifth main series installment titled “Skyrim.” The video description of the newest “Fable” trailer even reads, “Fable returns with a new beginning for the legendary franchise.”
The information, however, has been received with doubts. Others recall reports from way back in 2018 that claimed developer Playground Games has been working on an RPG for years. CronoTK responded, saying the “Fable” MMO tip came from the same “reliable” sources he’s had. It is worth noting that the leaker has a fairly good track record, for example, he correctly reported on the Xbox Games Showcase program. Still, fans should take everything they read with a pinch of salt until Microsoft is ready to reveal more details about the next “Fable” game.
‘Fable 4’ release date
What’s clearer from the brief “Fable” announcement is that the next game would not be released this year. Reports even liken the short teaser to what Bethesda revealed for “The Elder Scrolls 6” during E3 2018.
If that taught the gaming community anything, it’s that a title announcement does not necessarily mean a release date is coming soon as well. There are speculations that “Fable 4” might be released by 2021, but even that still seems far-fetched at this point.
