Back in 2018 there were rumblings of Microsoft planning a return of the Fable franchise. Then, two years later at an Xbox Games Showcase, the new Fable title was unveiled, along with some details about the game. After the closure of Lionhead, Fable's original studio, Playground Games was announced to be taking on the mighty task of creating a new Fable experience. Even with great expectations of a new Fable title, fans are cautiously optimistic as Playground continues to prove the game is in active development.

A lot of these updates do not come directly from Playground's announcements, but instead can be found in things like job listings and employees posting about their work on the game. The latest Playground developer to reveal that Fable is still being worked on is Anna Megill, who recently posted that she was now the Narrative Lead on the game, after previously working as its Lead Writer since February 2021.

Megill has a history of working on some successful and critically acclaimed titles, including the DLC for Dishonored 2 in Dishonored: Death of the Outsider. Megill also acted as the Narrative Lead for Remedy's Control, as well as Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Murdered: Soul Suspect, Guild Wars 2, and plenty of other games. Many Fable fans will be glad to know then, that the future of the action-RPG franchise is in the hands of an experienced video games writer.

There is another upcoming title that Megill has worked on as well. Ubisoft's Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora game from Massive Entertainment is reported to release in 2022, and fans are expecting more news will come on the title in the next few months. Fable fans have also been expecting some official updates
