Fable – The Journey: Latest rumors indicate 2013 release date?

Soon after Lionhead Studios finished the Fable 3 trilogy, fans began wondering how Peter Molyneux and company could top off that thrilling Fable trilogy ride. While Lionhead did announce that their next project will be the Kinect-centric Fable 4 – The Journey, series fans may have a long way to wait until they can motion their favorite spells into existence or drive their horse and buggy through the vast wonder-filled expanses of Albion.

According to the October issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, Fable 4 – The Journey isn’t due until 2013. The good news is that the Fable series will continue. The bad news is all the waiting time. If you look at it from the developers’ perspective, that’s actually a short amount of time. We’re talking about a whole new Kinect-enabled experience here, after all. Quite a large undertaking on Lionhead’s part.

Since Fable 4 – The Journey wishes to show the world how Kinect can make “regular” games fun, intriguing, and engaging, the development process has to be given time. Indeed, as Molyneux’s experience in E3 already showed, there are some potential minefields out there (regarding Fable 4 – The Journey being considered a game on rails). Navigating the mine fields and totally reworking the playing experience to fully bring out Kinect’s power takes a lot of time. Given the amount of heavy lifting the development team is taking on I’m just thankful the game is launching so soon.

    Fable 4 is not Fable: The Journey, they are two separate games. Fable: The Journey has already officially been announced for a 2012 release, whereas the rumours you refer to are about the direct sequel to Fable 3: Fable 4. There is currently speculation that Fable 4 is in the works at Lionhead and a 2013 release is planned.

      Thanks Anon! We edited the headline accordingly.

    Fable 4 will be awesome, Fable – The Journey is just so Molyneux can wax lyrical about Kinect. People don’t seem very keen on Fable – The Journey because of the whole Kinect thing and I must say I am a bit skeptical, but I will probably buy it anyway. I love the Fable games.

  • Trevor

    Fable – The Journey is on rails right? That’s what I heard anyway…

    • Francis III

      No it’s not entirely on rails but you will have to navigate a cart with Kinect.

  • NoDiggity

  • lil criz

    for me it’s okay that fable 4 will not be released before 2013. when i consider that skyrim, anno 2070, battlefield 3 and so on were released recently, i don’t have any problems with 2013 ;)
