Xbox has been passing through a weird path in the last couple of days. Thanks to a bunch of unclear rumors, the people responsible for the Xbox brand recently had to prepare a special edition of the official podcast to clarify the plans of the company in the future. Thanks to a new post in Resetera, an official forum for Xbox, one very reliable insider has revealed new information about the new Fable game and when it could launch. Users also asked about the Banjo-Kazooie game and what development state it was in.
Fable could be released next year on Xbox
One of the most anticipated Xbox exclusive games is Fable; the first one was launched back in 2004 for the first Xbox console. Later, with a very complicated development, two more games were released, with Peter Molyneux as the main creator. Unfortunately, things between this popular developer and Xbox did not end up on good terms. Molyneux left Lionhead Studios back in 2012 and never worked on a Fable game again. This new entry will work as a reboot and was announced back in 2020.
Thanks to the well-known Resetera Forum, insider NateTheHate gives some users a little more information about the future of the new Fable. Some users asked about the game, and Nate replied that the targeted release date was sometime in 2025, so this could mean another very anticipated exclusive game from Xbox coming soon. Nate also talked about a possible Stay of Decay 3 and the Banjo-Kazooie game, not giving much hope of seeing this project anytime soon. Fable has been announced for more than 3 years, so it may be very advanced in its development.
Some exclusives may be really close to launch
The Fable franchise has sold more than 20 million copies in total for Xbox, so it should be a very well-received game among Xbox players. This company really needs a very good exclusive to compete with Sony and Nintendo. The last couple of exclusives didn’t really work for Xbox, or they could not achieve sales numbers that the company required. Starfield was not the success from Bethesda that Xbox was hoping for. This year could also be a very good chance for Xbox to launch some exclusives. Sony has already confirmed that it will not be launching any big first party games until 2025.
One of the most anticipated games coming on Xbox is Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, which after many delays is finally coming out this year on May 21. Other Microsoft exclusive games that will arrive this year are Avowed and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl; the last one does not yet have a specific release date, all we know is that it will launch in 2024.
