'Fable' Will Be Open-World RPG, Not MMO, Confirms Insider

There's been some confusion surrounding the new Fable since its announcement last week. The incredibly brief teaser at the Xbox Series X game event confirmed two things: That the game is called Fable - not Fable 4 - and that it's being developed by UK-based Forza studio Playground Games.

There may be online elements like co-op functionality or limited, optional shared spaces," the publication notes. "But nothing to the extent that would justify classifying the game as an MMO."

This should come as a relief to those of us who were a little hesitant about the idea of missing out on a single-player Fable adventure. This also tracks with some of the earliest job listings for Fable, which were first shared by Playground Games way back in 2018.
