News Xbox Dev Playground Games Opens Another Studio To Work On Fable

[admin]

​

For a while now, we've known that Xbox-owned developer Playground Games has been working on Forza Horizon and Fable simultaneously - and now the team has revealed that the Fable side of the studio is really ramping up.

Spotted on LinkedIn, the Playground Games bio now states that three studios are operating at the British developer, with two of those studios working on Fable while the other is busy crafting the next Forza Horizon title.

"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."

Back in February, Third Kind Games announced that it was assisting Microsoft on the Fable reboot, having previously worked with Playground on optimization for Forza Horizon 4. With Eidos Montreal also helping the team out, it sounds like all hands are on deck with Fable, then!

That's good news, because as we learned during the Xbox Summer Showcase this year, Fable is now officially targeting a 2025 release window on Xbox Series X|S and PC. Here's hoping the project all comes together nicely for a smooth launch next year.
