It's been five years since a fairy, a sword, and a toad signaled the long-awaited return of Fable, now with Forza Horizon developer Playground Games at the helm. With the revival set to land in autumn 2026 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, the studio can't wait to welcome players back into Albion – almost a decade after it started looking beyond the open world racing games it was known for.
"The first conversations we had about doing something other than Forza Horizon and building a second team go right the way back to the year after we shipped Forza Horizon 3," says Ralph Fulton, Playground's general manager, recalling conversations had back in 2017. "Forza Horizon 3 had gone really well in pretty much every dimension. It was the best Forza Horizon we'd made. The team really hit its stride – the game was really high-quality, it landed with a wide audience. We felt great about that."
