Reports suggest Fable's 2026 delay stems from deeper issues than initially stated. Multiple insiders paint a picture of a game in serious trouble, far beyond needing mere polish.
Extas1s alleges Playground Games is grappling with the ForzaTech engine's limitations. Designed for racing titles, it's reportedly ill-suited for an open-world RPG. Furthermore, Extas1s claims early gameplay lacked engagement, necessitating extensive mechanic overhauls and pacing adjustments.
HeisenbergFX4 echoes these concerns, suggesting Fable's development is so far behind schedule that a 2026 release remains uncertain. With Microsoft targeting a PlayStation release, the game must meet Sony's stringent quality standards. Following the reception of Starfield and Avowed, HeisenbergFX4 argues another flawed title would be financially devastating for Microsoft.
