“With any kind of franchise like that, where you’ve had existing versions, there’s always that balance between what you’re going to bring forward, what still stands up, and what you want to add that’s new,” Booty explained. An MMO would be one such way to do this, but Fable 4 won’t go down that road. In an interview with The Guardian, Microsoft head of studios Matt Booty noted that such MMO rumors stem from the idea that Fable 4 needs to do something new to the series to keep it fresh but not go too far off the beaten path. As such, we can expect it to be a game with a large world to explore yet with a strong single-player element to it welcome news for dedicated fans of Fable.

There had been some worry that as the game's trailer teased a large world, that it would be something in the vein of World of Warcraft.īut while there will be online elements, such as co-operative functionality or limited shared open spaces, the source behind the information told Windows Central (opens in new tab) that the game most definitely won't be an MMO. The latest nugget information, not that Fable 4 is official, comes in the form of a developer insider noting that the game will be an open-world RPG, not a massively multiplayer online game. 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. Some three years ago, a massive Fable 4 leak on Reddit (opens in new tab) popped up around E3 2019, though the game was never showcased.

It will apparently arrive before The Elder Scrolls 6, but that game is almost certainly years away, so don't hold your breath for Fable 4 any time soon.

We'd not be surprised if 2024 ends up being the rough release windows for Fable 4. With no mention of the game at the last Xbox showcase, we can pretty much guarantee Fable 4 isn't coming for at least another 12 months.
