Following the announcement that the highly anticipated game Fable has been delayed until 2026, insider reports have surfaced, painting a troubling picture of the game's development. Contrary to the official statement citing the need for additional polish, insiders suggest that the game is facing significant challenges. According to Extas1s, a reliable source, the developers at Playground Games are grappling with the ForzaTech engine. Originally crafted for racing games, this engine is reportedly ill-suited for an open-world RPG like Fable. Extas1s further reveals that early gameplay versions have been "not particularly engaging," necessitating a major overhaul of game mechanics and pacing adjustments.
Another insider, HeisenbergFX4, echoes these concerns, indicating that Fable is far from completion. There's even speculation that the game might not meet the 2026 deadline. With Microsoft's plans to launch Fable on PlayStation as well, the pressure is on to deliver a product that meets the high standards expected by Sony's audience. HeisenbergFX4 points out that following the lukewarm reception of Starfield and the mixed reviews of Avowed, Microsoft cannot risk another disappointing release.
