New rumors suggest that Fable 4 developer Playground picked up some former Rocksteady writers who worked on Batman: Arkham Knight. Fable 4 is a game that doesn't officially exist, but everyone knows is coming. We expected it to be shown at E3 2019, . Still, the rumor mill continues to churn out reports about , and the latest sounds quite promising. It seems that the team that's not-working-on-Fable-but-totally-working-on-Fable recently picked up some new writers. Writers from Rocksteady. In case you're not up to date on Fable 4 rumors, current reports place the title under the development of Playground. Oddly enough, Playground is the team behind the Forza series. It seems that Microsoft is placing trust in Playground after a string of good Forza games. According to , Playground has been hiring a lot of former Rocksteady writers to take on the script for Fable 4. These writers made up the bulk of the script team behind Batman: Arkham Knight. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Via: Digital Trends The report from Video Games Chronicle goes further by listing all the writers who were supposedly hired. Leading the team as Fable 4's narrative director is Martin Lancaster, who was lead scriptwriter for Batman: Arkham Knight. Craig Owens, once a senior scriptwriter for Rocksteady, is principal scriptwriter for Fable 4. These two join Kim MacAskill and Rebecca Haigh, who were hired in August. MacAskill also came from Rocksteady, while Haigh wrote indie adventure game Du Lac & Fey: Dance of Death. Again, it's worth noting that nothing is really certain. The only thing that can be confirmed is that Playground is hiring for a "secret RPG" and has been for about three years now. The idea that it's Fable 4 is only speculation, even if it's very sensible speculation. These hires do present an interesting look into Fable 4's future. Arkham Knight had solid writing, but is also known for a plot twist that isn't very much of a twist. The overall tone of the Arkham games also doesn't match Fable's. Could Fable be losing its weird humor in favor of something more serious? Then again, it's not like the writers are only capable of one thing. Maybe this will be their chance to flex some of their funnier muscles instead of their spandex-clad ones. Source:
