Ralph Fulton, Playground Games general manager and game director on the new Fable, is drawing a distinct line between what his reboot of the classic RPG series is and isn't.

For one, it's not a Lionhead game. The OG Fable developer shut down in 2016, and Playground isn't trying to simply dupe the recipe for that studio's special sauce.
