Fable is one of many early Xbox games that were officially announced a while ago, but never seemed to get close to release. Since the Playground Games project was first announced, we haven't seen any news about the game, which naturally means that questions have also been asked frequently about the state of development and how long it will take for the developer to release the game, especially with the game already ready, as the studio says.
There is a new rumor from a source that is 4chan, which is actually an irregular source, but it was “We should mention itHe claims that the latest current version of the game has been deemed “unplayable” by Playground Games, with the leak claiming that the studio has decided to redevelop from scratch and has switched to Unreal Engine for the project moving forward.
The rumor doesn’t seem accurate enough. Taking to Twitter, GamesIndustry journalist Christopher Dring responds to the aforementioned rumors, simply stating, “Not true.”

It would be best if Microsoft or Playground Games provided an official update on the status of Fable, but you should be sure not to take any of these rumors too seriously because we hear a lot of rumors about the development of many games. This isn't the first time reports have pointed to development issues at Playground Games, so it remains to be seen what exactly the behind-the-scenes status of the project is.
Fable is in development for Xbox Series X/S and PC, as it was recently announced that developer Eidos Montreal is involved in the game's development.
