“Nothing to announce right now.”
Head of Xbox Phil Spencer spoke to the future of the Fable franchise, suggesting there may be more entires sometime down the line.
When asked on Twitter whether or not we’ll ever see Fable 4, Spencer replied, “Nothing to announce right now but I do think the IP has a lot of places it could go.”
Last year brought with it the closure of Fable developer Lionhead Studios, as well as its co-op action role-playing game Fable Legends. According to ex-Lionhead art director, John McCormack, the studio pitched a fourth proper installment set in the “technological, industrial age” that Microsoft ultimately rejected.
Lionhead founder Peter Molyneux, who departed the studio in 2012 to found 22 Cans, recently told IGN that if he could go back in time and prevent the studio’s closure, he would have had the team work on Fable 4 rather than Legends.
