![]() ![]() (Image credit: Microsoft, Playground Games) What Fable 4 rumors are out there? "In addition to adding new features like raytracing to support the next console generation, we are also enriching the toolset to support an open world action RPG-Fable." "ForzaTech is the engine, tools, and pipelines that drive both the Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon series of games," the job description says. Microsoft put out a job posting (opens in new tab) in early 2021 for a software engineer at Turn10 Studios who will focus on the Forza Tech engine. This doesn't come as a big surprise, given that Forza series developers Playground Games are developing Fable 4. ![]() As Megill said, “Narrative encompasses more than writing.” Fable 4 is using the Forza game engine While “lead writer” and “narrative lead” might sound interchangeable, narrative design is a wide-reaching discipline that shapes the player’s interaction with a game’s story. Megill has an extensive history in games narrative, having worked on franchises like Guild Wars and Dishonored, and recently as narrative lead on Control. Fable 4 picked up a new narrative leadĪnna Megill, already the lead writer on the Fable reboot, was promoted in July to Fable’s narrative lead, as Megill confirmed on Twitter. That doesn't tell us a whole lot, but it seems to reinforce that Fable's sense of humor may be one big thing that isn't changing. "Fable’s clearly always been a little more light-hearted and a little more British, I think I could say, and I think Playground will keep it there," Phil Spencer said in 2021. Playground beefed up a new Warwickshire studio just for it, so this definitely isn't a small-time Fable spinoff. According to a 2018 Eurogamer report (opens in new tab), Playground had been chipping away at Fable 4 for a few years with a team of about 200 on an open-world action RPG. ![]()
