Fable developer Playground Games has already called on the assistance of some other parties, and following the latest trailer it's now been confirmed Eidos Montreal is helping out.
The studio made it official on social media with the following message earlier on, mentioning how it's been "supporting" development of Fable:
"We're so excited to be supporting the development of @Fable! It's been a blast collaborating with the talented team at @WeArePlayground to craft an unforgettable adventure."
It's not known exactly what it's been working on, but the studio is previously known for the Deus Ex series as well as Shadow of the Tomb Raider and the Marvel's Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy projects.
News about Eidos Montreal's partnership with Xbox on Fable originally surfaced last November. Fable has also had assistance from Third Kind Games.

Didn’t square Enix close them down? Guess not! They must be under a different giant corp now?
@jesse_dylan Embracer group
Both Crystal Dinamics, Eidos Montreal have very talented individuals and
Microsoft should offer them full-time employment within PG and The Initiative, assuming they'd want to stay.
Can't wait fable looks so good!
This game seems like it's going to be bad.
Have they confirmed character creation yet?
@Sol4ris Especially Crystal Dynamics that Square Enix got rid of! It's one of the best developers in the world and came to The Initiative's rescue.
Yeah... I guess at this point I should start giving up hope for a new Deus Ex.
@Banjo-
Agreed, I love what they've done with the TR Trilogy, here's hoping Microsoft will keep them 👍.
@Gamer83 Yeah, unfortunately the new one was seemingly canceled months ago now:

@everynowandben
Remember seeing that but still holding on to false hope maybe a new Deus Ex project would start. But this pretty much confirms it won't. On the plus side, it's a talented studio with RPG experience helping Playground which doesn't have as much experience in that genre so hopefully that means good things.
