Fable isn't a sequel, Playground Games lead says, because "we needed to reboot the franchise" and "put our stamp on it" – "It would be inauthentic for us to just try and make Fable 4"

Fable is about to bring us back to the classic setting of Albion for the first time in almost 15 years, but as Playground Games general manager Ralph Fulton makes clear to me in an interview, it's purposefully, officially titled Fable for a very good reason: this is a "Playground Fable game".

As the Xbox Developer Direct made clear, Fable is entering a new era, with a truly open-world version of Albion, a different take on the morality system, and an impressive number of NPCs to meet. And while it's a reboot in the truest sense of the word rather than a sequel, Playground is still setting out to stay true to the spirit of the series from Lionhead.
