It seems that a new Fable game is in development two years after the closure of Lionhead, according to Eurogamer. The new Fable game is being developed by Playground games, best known for the Forza Horizon series. The game is very early in development, and Playground is currently hiring more staff to work on the project. Microsoft's interest in bringing back Fable seems to have been inspired by the success of guerilla games Horizon Zero Dawn, a PlayStation 4 exclusive.
