Yesterday, the development of the next Fable was formalized. But what about the mechanics of his games? The Playground Games studio mentions an open world action RPG and indiscretions evoke components of MMOs.

Last night’s Xbox Games Showcase Microsoft was the opportunity to formalize the development of a new Fable – through a teaser in which we find the original spirit of the license. But beyond the trailer, the studio Playground Games in charge of development does not yet deliver any details on its content or its game mechanics. Between anonymous sources and social networks, the game is nevertheless already the subject of speculation, suggesting that this new Fable could integrate at least components of MMO .
It all started with a tweet from Tanguy Toussaint, journalist at TV5 Monde and Jeuvideo.com, who compiled the list of games presented during the Xbox Games Showcase, but published on the social network before the event (the compilation would be the result of indiscretions from anonymous sources). However the list does mention Fable, but presents it as a ” Fable MMO », To be distinguished from a Fable 4. The tweet is shared on ResetEra, where it is widely talked about – especially because the last opus to date of the license, Fable Legends, was to integrate multiplayer components and was finally abandoned before being officially launched.

Among the participants in the discussion, however, we note the intervention of Daniel Ahmad, analyst at Niko Partners and who is always known to be well informed. He specifies that he “does not read the mention literally” and that “it is not an MMO as we understood it in 2004”. Daniel Ahmad does not specify whether his remark is “informed” or relating to current trends – which we know well, the massively multiplayer genre having obviously evolved in recent years to give way to “service games”, playable online and that evolve regularly. It will be necessary to understand that the next Fable is an online game, evolving (regularly updated), even multiplayer.
While waiting for details from the developer, we will nevertheless remember that Playground Games presents its next Fable as a” title=”

“>RPG action immersing the player in an open world. For months, the studio has also been recruiting employees who have cut their teeth at Rockstar, Ubisoft or Bioware (which we know in particular for open world games and / or their online components) and the studio continues to look for very specific profiles – having for example experience in game development “” title=”
AAA
Usually said of a game or an MMO benefiting from a considerable budget and expecting no less considerable financial benefits. A “AAA MMO” in the gaming industry can be compared to a “blockbuster” in the film industry. For example, World of WarCraft is sometimes referred to as an “AAA” MMORPG. That is to say, it benefited from a large development team, comfortable design times, extensive marketing coverage, etc. and that it is aimed at a large audience made up of casual players as well as die-hard players. The notion can be pejorative and designate a project lacking in innovation or too consensual for some purists of the genre.

Acronym of the expression “Artificial Intelligence”. Artificial intelligence directs the reactions of creatures controlled by the computer.

So many elements which undoubtedly contribute at least to give the measure of the world in which the players of the next Fable are intended to immerse themselves, whether this universe is persistent or not.
