I gotta be honest, I really did not think this game was making it next year. They still have yet to show unedited gameplay longer than a few seconds at a time. This feels like when they were teasing Hellblade for years with short snippets.

Also, i think people might be reading this wrong. Middler is hinting that it won’t release in 2025

I really wouldn't surprised if it was pushed to 2026.
Playground had to build a completely new team and I'm fairly sure that the Forzatech engine had to be worked on to make development of a RPG possible. Fable as a franchise has its own identity seperate from pretty much all other RPGs, it might be difficult to find a sweet spot and recreate this tone in current year. What does a 2025(?) Fable feel like? Probably a lot of ideas were thrown out until a cohesive vision was probably ironed out.
I admit though, I am curious about how it'll all shake up. I had fun with Fable 1 and 2, but that was ages ago.
Yeah, per Jason, the game never even made it to actual production.
I played so much Twisted Metal 2 as a kid, this still hurts.
Although I can definitely understand how it would be difficult to conceive a car combat pitch and have it accepted in the current landscape, especially as a game with some budget behind it.
The genre has mostly dead and running on fumes.
Y'all gotta remember that it's in MS's financial interest to run out the clock on people who stacked up gamepass cheap. I expect a lot more delays because MS will always over promise to get people on the hook, then delay it to get more sub$
They also said Hellblade 2 was going to be way bigger than the first one and that was going to make the first one look like an indie game.
