"New Fable Game Faces Development Challenges"

Following the recent announcement that the highly anticipated game *Fable* has been delayed until 2026, insider reports have surfaced suggesting that the game's development is facing significant challenges. Contrary to the official statement citing the need for additional polish, these reports indicate that the real reason behind the delay is the game's dire state.

Insider Extas1s has revealed that the developers at Playground Games are grappling with the ForzaTech engine. Originally designed for racing games, this engine is reportedly ill-suited for an open-world RPG like *Fable*. Furthermore, Extas1s claims that early gameplay versions were "not particularly engaging," compelling the developers to undertake substantial rework on many game mechanics and the pacing of the game.

Adding to the concerns, another insider, HeisenbergFX4, suggests that *Fable* is far from completion, raising doubts about whether it will be ready by 2026. With Microsoft planning to release *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 risk another disappointment with *Fable*.
