The leak detailed how Albion, the land of Fable, has been completely destroyed by an asteroid called down by a mad king who took control of The Spire, which Fable 2 fans will remember was something you needed to wrest control of from tyrant Lucien Fairfax. Then in 2019, a massive Fable 4 leak on Reddit popped up around E3 2019, though the game was never showcased. That studio seems to be Playground Games. In 2018 Don Williamson, the former Lionhead lead engine programmer, tweeted that he knew of a studio working on Fable 4, though he has since deleted the tweet.

But then Aaron Greenberg, general manager at Xbox, shot down speculation that this could be a clue that a Fable 4 announcement was incoming.

A placeholder for the Twitter account was spotted being followed by a Microsoft employee, which caused speculation around the game's potential announcement. But the latest and greatest one comes courtesy of a well-known insider going by the name of Klobrille on the Resetera games forum, who has claimed Fable 4 will be revealed at the Xbox 20/20 games showcase on June 23. That claim was proven to be true.īefore that reveal, Fable 4's future looked a lot hazier. There had been a lot of little hints at the existence of Fable 4. It’s looking likely that there will be a decent wait for Fable 4, but we’re open to being surprised. We’d suspect that Playground Games, the developer behind Forza Horizon 4, has been working on Fable 4 for some time and that it’s potentially mid-way through its development. We’d hazard a guess that it will arrive sometime towards the end of this year or early 2022. But that game is likely years away, so we're not sure Spencer's comments mean a great deal. However, Spencer did note that Fable 4 will be out way before The Elder Scrolls 6.

Since then, we've not heard a great deal abut Fable 4 through the grapevine, let alone official sources. But thanks to Herve Gengler, a senior games designer working on Fable 4 at Playground Games, we were given the impression that the game won’t be coming out for a couple of years. This isn't hugely surprising given there was no game footage shown off. While the trailer of Fable 4 served its purpose to build up hype around the game, it looks like it’s still a long way off.
