Language: EN | RU
Playground Games has opened a third studio to work on the new Fable, Windows Central noted on July 30.
The expansion was mentioned in an updated company description on social media.
“Today, Playground has three world-class studios in Leamington Spa. In our original HQ, we continue to support and grow the huge, vibrant Horizon community. In our new studios on the other side of town, we are excited to be developing Fable, a new beginning for the legendary franchise,” the description states.
Playground Games was founded in 2010. Its second studio opened in 2017 following the success of Forza Horizon, and Microsoft acquired the developer the following year.
On June 9, Xbox Games Showcase 2024 officially confirmed that the new Fable was planned for 2025 and showed a new trailer with gameplay footage. Several screenshots then appeared on the game’s Xbox Store page.
In July 2020, Microsoft confirmed that a new Fable was in development at Playground Games, best known for the Forza Horizon racing series. A teaser was shown at Xbox Games Showcase 2020, after almost a decade of unconfirmed rumors.
Three years later, in June 2023, Playground showed the first trailer with gameplay footage at Xbox Games Showcase 2023. At the time, it was unclear whether the game was Fable 4 or a reboot of the series. It was known that the new game was being developed on the ForzaTech engine.
