As a possible reboot of its franchise, Fable 4 not only needs to distinguish itself from other fantasy RPGs on the market, but the previous Fable trilogy as well. Playground Games is different from Lionhead Studios and lacks any history with the Fable franchise, so Playground has to think carefully about how it can prove it's a capable developer here. In order to do so, Playground doesn't have to come up with wholly original ideas. Instead, it can examine other hits in the industry and see how it can make their mechanics into something that channels the themes of Fable 4.
