I've heard about this. Apparently the "publishing" arm of XGS is the one that handles third-party studios, not like Playground who are making the new Fable game.

I'm guessing remasters of the older Fable games.

I do think it's important to point out that this is XGS Publishing, so it likely isn't the Playground Fable, since they're first party.

Since this won't be related to Playground's Fable, I hope it means remaster to the old games. I liked Fable 2 but the 30 fps and weird delayed input really annoyed me. I'd love to replay it at 60 fps and better resolution.

Old games optimized for X/S
Fable 1-3 remasters for Xbox and PC would be nice. Make them run in 4K/60FPS with some visual touch ups and get them shipped. They don't need to completely remake them with a new game on the way.

(As for BC improvements. I don't think they've managed to FPS boost a 360 game yet, right? I doubt XGP would have anything to do with the BC program anyways)

Fable 2 Anniversary on Xbox/PC please :)

Although it looks like Fable The Lost Chapters released 10/18 and Fable 2 10/21...but Fable 3 is 10/26. I really do hope it's a Fable 2 Anniversary and perhaps they bring back Fable 3 on PC too!

It's definitely gonna be remasters for Fable 2 and Fable 3 in the similar style of Fable Anniversary coming to Xbox Systems & PC, right? If that's case, I do hope that it's available sooner rather than later

I wouldn't mind a remake of Fable. Remaster wouldn't be enough for me at this point in time however, might as well wait for the new game. Loved the original but a bit outdated for me to revisit in its original form.

Still, more Fable is brilliant news.

FABLE HEROES 2 LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I unironically want a sequel to Fable Heroes. For a side project it was actually pretty fun. At the time it was nice to get a new soundtrack by Robin Beanland and Steve Burke too.

I wonder when I jumped into the Universe where Fable 3 was good hmm
I consider Fable III to be a good, but flawed game. It was clearly rushed to the market in time for the 360 S push that fall, and it definitely suffered from it.

Setting my expectations at 'FPS Boost/Res boost' for Fable 1:Anniversary, Fable 2, and Fable 3 (Anniversary is also res boosted).

FABLE HEROES 2 LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Fable 2 launched October 24 and Fable 3 launched October 29. So it's not an exact anniversary. (Fable proper was September.) And it's not a year ending in 5 or 0 anniversary either.

But if they made a Fable 2 Anniversary or a Fable Anniversary Trilogy optimized for S/X? I'm down for a replay. It would make sense to make them more playable/attractive for new players before they get to the new game hype. It's been over a decade, so no kiddos have played these and it would be nice to have in the GP library.

Whatever it is, it better come to PC too, which I can imagine won't happen if it's just a back-compat update for Xbox Series's like people are mentioning. Would that even be worth teasing?

Make sense to re release some stuff and put stuff on PC also. With a new fable coming. Wouldn't be the first time they done this

Remake of the old games in a trilogy package would be my dream announcement. I don't think that's what this will be, because I want to keep my expectations in check.

Edit: I think this tweet rules out just BC improvements. Whatever this announcement is about, it's something new (new game, remaster, remake or bundle).

As someone said, Lost Chapters came out in NA 16 years ago tomorrow.

Fable 2 and 3 remastered makes sense before Fable 4. It's been a whole generation since Fable Anniversary.

I mean, they could announce Anniversary remasters tomorrow that come out on the anniversary dates. It's about a week away, enough time for marketing.

I hope it's a trilogy remaster!

Thank you.
Fable 3 is not the best in the series, but it's nowhere near as terrible as it's (sometimes) painted over here.

Re. the tease, whatever it is, I just hope it's related to an actual game, and not just a digital event, merchandising, or partnership of some kind.

...Although tbh I'm hungry for anything Fable related so, bring it on.
