Designer artist Rodrigo Idalino shared, then quickly deleted, what is claimed to be an artistic test for Playground Games’ exclusive non-public RPG open-world RPG game for Microsoft, Xbox and Windows platforms.
Playground Games is known for the Forza Horizon franchise, but has a second team at Leamington Spa that is working on a next-generation RPG title in the open world often linked to a reboot of the Fable franchise in previous and reliable rumors.
Idalino is an independent artist who has worked on art for Playground Games. In this particular case, he focused on a female character inspired by actress Anne Hathaway in the 16th century Europe inspired setting. Because of its environment, the conceptual art would be an unexpected Fable 4 project.
The British development team embarked on a recruitment adventure over the last three years and participated in this RPG project with many talents, such as the team of writers behind Batman Arkham Knight , Metal Gear Solid V on Project Leader, Hellblade Lead Animator, and Hymne Senior Environmental Artist, as noted by VGC who also reports the latest rumor.
Microsoft acquired Playground Games in 2018, but did not force the studio to announce the details of the project it is currently working on.
Like Xbox Game Studios’ Matt Booty sharing, even though this game has been in development for three years, it may not be revealed until the E3 2020: « A lot of good things are waiting behind the scenes for next year. We hope to see you again for a year, « Booty told Eurogamer in June about Fable .
