It has been nearly fourteen years since the release of Lionhead's Fable 3, the last mainline installment in the Fable franchise. While there were hopes of yet another Fable title from the acclaimed developer, Lionhead Studios closed in 2016, leaving little reason to think there would ever be another Fable game. However, developer Playground Games has taken up the mantle with plans to release the fourth game in the series, simply titled Fable, and it already looks like an entirely different take on the iconic precedent set by the original series.
