Magdalena, the wife of Nostro one of Bowerstone's earliest mayors (Deceased).Most likely: Leo Head or Fairfax family based on the current storyline. Bowerstone, the current ruler is unknown.(Either as the current resident, or deceased) Leo Head The constructor of Bowerstone Castle.
This would confirm that the game takes place post-Fable 1 Bowerstone Castle was constructed on the burnt down site of Bowerstone Manor.If Bowerstone Castle exists and the game follows the existing timeline, the following things would also exist: There is no Spire in the far distance, suggesting that it has not yet been constructed by the Archon, nor been reconstructed by Lucien.Notably, there are no factory fumes or other signs of industrialization in Bowerstone, which would suggest that the game will take place prior to Fable III.(Following Age of Archons) due to the existence of Bowerstone Castle, which only exists after the events of Fable Fable cannot be set during the "Establishment of the Guild" time-period.Fable could potentially be set during the "Fall of the Guild" time-period of the Fable chronology, between Fable and Fable II.Logical theories with facts taken into consideration, if Fable takes place in the same continuity as previous releases: The Sword of Aeons (Obtained by William Black from Jack of Blades) has the Guild Seal symbol on it, this sword was stolen long before the guild had ever been established. The Guild logo is not exclusive to the Guild.The narrator uses the phrase "Legendary heroes", which suggests that the Heroes Guild has existed for some time.This suggests that the Heroes Guild has existed within this timeline. The trailer opens with a moss-covered sword, the hilt of which shows the Guild seal.Facts Īlthough little is currently known about Fable, it is possible to confirm some things from the trailer:
The game was formally announced with a cinematic trailer in July, 2020. This was later confirmed at E3 2018, however, "for a "brand new game." Playground Games then recruited a senior game designer for the purpose of producing an "AAA open-world RPG" which would strongly suggest they were entering the development process.
Allegedly the success of the PS4 title, Horizon: Zero Dawn inspired Microsoft to produce a suitable, competing, single player RPG title.Ī former Lionhead Lead Engine Programmer, Don Williamson, who worked on both Fable I and II, posted on Twitter that he’d worked out which studio was "currently working on Fable IV", stating that he believed it to be an "interesting choice". An Xbox Live API leak confirmed that a Fable related project codenamed Wisdom was being developed by a UK based studio. While Fable takes place in a fantasy kingdom, it's likely that a lot of that distinctly English landscaping will make its way into a new take on Albion.In early 2018 rumors existed that Fable IV was currently in development by Playground Games. Playground is probably best known for Forza Horizon, and the last release in that series focused on driving through the stunning British countryside. The Fable revival will see a new studio take the helm, as Playground Games creates a new fantasy adventure in place of the shuttered Lionhead Studios.
So, will Fable 4 find its way to Xbox Series X before the end of 2021? A true follow-up to Fable 3 seemed less and less like a sure thing as the years went on, but a proper new entry finally revealed itself last year in one of Microsoft's digital showcase streams. Card game spin-off Fable Fortune couldn't find an audience in the long run and shut off its servers in early 2020.
Fable Legends was an odd turn into co-op multiplayer, which the people at Microsoft eventually canceled. Fans of the Fableseries were more than underserved in the Xbox One generation.
