Reports following the delay of Fable to 2026 paint a concerning picture of the game's development. Instead of the officially cited need for further polish, insiders suggest deeper issues are at play.
Extas1s claims Playground Games is grappling with the ForzaTech engine, a tool originally built for racing games, proving ill-suited for the demands of an open-world RPG. Furthermore, Extas1s alleges early gameplay was underwhelming, necessitating significant overhauls to core mechanics and pacing.
HeisenbergFX4 echoes these concerns, suggesting Fable's current state is far from completion, raising doubts about a 2026 release. With Microsoft targeting a PlayStation release, the game must meet Sony's stringent quality standards. HeisenbergFX4 argues that after the reception of Starfield and the divisive Avowed, another misstep for Microsoft is simply unacceptable.
