We just got finished with seeing what the new vision for Fable is. And, Playground Games have absolutely nailed not only the foundations of the game, but also they’re giving you the option to choose your own character and make your presence known in a world that will be unique to you and your choices.
To be honest, this is everything we’ve wanted to see in a comeback from Fable. Not only are they staying true to the previous Fable games. This gives Playground Games a world in which to build from. Not only in terms of the newly made Albion world in which we will all be playing around, but subsequently, this Albion could also be used in more games down the line off the back of any success of this game.
It’s never easy to follow up on the demands of a fanbase. However, what we’re seeing here is not only a tribute to how good the previous games were. They’ve ramped up and made the world of Albion much more game-play feature rich which in terms of what we’re able to do and how that affects certain situations.
The humour and everything being back as well is great to see. No set date yet, but an Autumn window. What we do know is that this Fable reveal has reassured a lot of people and put any doubters to the sword. It’s everything you could want in the world of Albion, and in Fable, and it looks like Microsoft’s trust in Playground Games has really paid off.
This is exactly what happens when you let some of your best studios just go and create and build the worlds that fans want to play and have fun in. This one is heading to PlayStation as well. it’s likely it’s going to sell very well there and could set the franchise up to be the most played and highly sought after no matter how people choose to get into the game. It seemingly looks more and more like it was worth the 16 year wait. Welcome back Fable, we missed you!
