It would also make sense that Playground would bring its open world expertise from Forza Horizon into a game like this.Įither way, we can’t wait to see what it’s come up with. That certainly tallies with everything we saw in the reveal trailer, with the final shot showing off a big world that looks ripe for exploration.

As in, there might even be a new Xbox (a mid-tier upgrade) by the time those games come out. In fact, speaking on a recent VGC Off the Record podcast, industry reporter and head of Chris Dring said that the game’s release, along with other announced Xbox exclusives, could be many years down the line.īased on conversations he’s had with employees at Xbox Game Studios, Dring said, “Those games that they announced – Everwild, Perfect Dark, Fable – are so far away. The game is believed to be in the relatively early stages of its development so while we’re not very confident that we’ll be treated to anything as big as a solid release date, a new trailer would probably go over well as E3 2019 was the last time we got to see the game.Īs far as we can tell, Fable 4 is still in the early stages of development and it could be a while before we get the chance to play it. Microsoft is yet to confirm any solid plans for the show but there are hopes that Fable 4 could make an appearance in some form. Fable 4 news and rumorsĮ3 2021 is going ahead and Microsoft/Xbox is one of the show’s headline names Going entirely online for this year, E3 2021 will be taking place between June 12 and June 15, with a four-day broadcast offering a mix of press conferences, interviews and commentary. 2022 or 2023 definitely seem more likely.
