We've been hearing reports of a new Fable game for a long time now, but just in case you were still in any doubt, we've had another one courtesy of Funhaus and ex-IGN employee Alanah Pearce.
In a recent YouTube video, Pearce responded to a question of how likely a new Fable game is by confirming that it is "100% likely," and that she knows it's on the way:
"It is 100% likely a new Fable is being made. I promise. I know it's happening."
Alanah also went on to explain that she doesn't know when it'll be unveiled, although it seems likely that it'll make an appearance as part of this month's Xbox Games Showcase on July 23rd. Fortunately, it's not long until we find out!

Yeah I think we all know its coming, there's no smoke without fire.
Will be interesting to see whether it's a full blown reboot or if it's set after the others. I'm not that big a fan on reboots personally, they just pretend the originals didn't exist.
I just hope they don't go for the tired "Gritty Reboot" angle. I don't want a dark, serious Fable game. There are so few truly FUNNY games, and Fable's sense of British humor (my personal favorite) is something that separates it from other RPGs.
It will definitely be in the july showcase, I think we all know this..
@SuperNintendoMii I agree. Fable 3 wasn’t great, but the whole point of the Fable universe was how it changed over time. In this series it would be easy to keep the existing lore and stories and just jump to a different point in the timeline. Way better than rebooting.
@armondo36 totally agree on the gritty thing. I’m personally sick of gritty, mature games and universes. In entertainment in general it feels like light-hearted fun is rare. This could be a breath of fresh air.
That would be awesome. I liked the first trilogy. A new entry would be excellent.
Personally I’d prefer a complete reboot like what was done with Tomb Raider, it would be nice for a continuation but number 3 brought the series down and would make the 4th seem tainted.
A reboot would be good to recreate the story and add some new mechanics that would feel at home in the game
@WesEds It is already rumoured to be a complete reboot with handcrafted photorealistic open world.
@armondo36 It may be a reboot, but it won't be "gritty". Fable has always been positioned as something of a fantasy mickey-take. Expect that same British sense of humour with stylised, cartoony visuals.
With Playground Games at the helm, I would be surprised if it went the dark and gritty route. I'm interested in this, and will probably dive to download the third game to give it a proper playthrough since I first claimed it from Games With Gold all those years back.
‘Fable the lost chapters’ was really great. I love games that feel large in scope narratively. You go on a full quest starting as a kid amd emding it fighting a big dragon, but the important thing is that everything in between feels substantial. It just keeps going. Similar to FF7, 8 and 9.
A next-gen Fable reboot, who can say no?
@DarkRula the third one is pretty bad imo. But the first one is awesome and the elements of fable (humor, fantasy, etc) are still great ingredients to make a modern game so I’m all for a reboot or prequel/sequel.
@xMightyMatt14x If I enjoy the third, then I can always go back to the first two if I feel like it. If this new one is a reboot, however, I may as well just jump into the new one after the third. I've no doubt that this new one will be a great game.
