Following the recent announcement of Fable's delay to 2026, insider reports have surfaced, painting a troubling picture of the game's development. Contrary to the official statement citing the need for additional polish, insiders suggest that the game is in a dire state, which is the actual cause of the delay.
Insider Extas1s has revealed that Playground Games is facing significant challenges with the ForzaTech engine. Originally designed for racing games, this engine is reportedly ill-suited for the demands of an open-world RPG like Fable. Extas1s also mentioned that early gameplay versions were "not particularly engaging," leading to extensive reworks of game mechanics and adjustments to the game's pacing.
Another insider, HeisenbergFX4, echoes these concerns, stating that Fable is far from completion and might not even meet the 2026 release deadline. With Microsoft planning to launch Fable on PlayStation as well, the game must meet the high standards expected by Sony's audience. HeisenbergFX4 points out that after the underwhelming reception of Starfield and the mixed response to Avowed, Microsoft cannot afford another disappointing release.
