Playground Games
While it’s usually not a good idea to put one’s hopes behind rumors and speculation, the buzz around what Playground Games‘ next project might be is enough to get anyone’s hopes built up.
Best known as the developers behind the Forza franchise, Playground has been hard at work on an unannounced open world action RPG project since 2017. They were later acquired by Microsoft in 2018, and have since continued work on the project with the full backing of the publisher.
This has led many to believe that the studio may be working on a new entry in the Fable franchise. It wouldn’t be the strangest move either, given the continued popularity of the series even in the many years since its last installment and Microsoft’s preparations for the release of a new console.
Even if it’s not though, people are still eager to see what Playground has up their sleeve. It’s not every day developers stray from their wheelhouse and preferred genre the way Playground has, and many a gamer can’t wait to see exactly how they’re planning to rebrand themselves as soon as possible.
