Everybody is well aware that Microsoft needs more quality exclusives for the Xbox One platform. But some it seems that some know more than others, so there have been rumors that one of the following exclusives that Microsoft will announce is a new Fable game – if we look at it numerically – Fable 4.

Rumor experts say all signs point to it because British Playground Games recently opened a big new studio and announced it will work on an action RPG of the open world. Knowing that this team is in a good relationship with Microsoft, for which they have created the Forza Horizon games, it is not impossible to add things up.

The leading developer of the former Lionhead, a studio that has been doing all Fable games so far has also joined the speculation. Don Williamson said on Twitter that he knows who is doing the next Fable game and how he thinks this is an interesting choice. Later on he deleted this statement claiming that people took it for granted, and the statement came about on the basis of unsubstantiated information.

For now, we only have speculations, and if they are on the trail of something, we will only know it after some time has passed, because the new Playground team has just been created.
