Tom Warren, a senior editor at The Verge tweeted images of Twitter accounts for both Fable and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Perfect Dark yesterday, both of which were created this year, fueling speculation that both games are in development for the next-gen consoles. The GM of marketing at Xbox games, Aaron Greenberg, pumped the brakes o𝔍n that theory though, by saying that the accounts, "have been inactive for years" and that, "it's standard practice to secure social handles for (our) IP."
Xbox is set to showcase its studio's offerings for the Series X console next month, which we can safely say will include the Halo franchise, but if Xbox is going anywhere near the direction that PlayStation went, we can expect to see plenty of reboots and games inspired by classic Xbox games. The last full Fable game that we saw from the franchise was a Fable: Journey back in 2012. The actual last game in the franchise was a virtual card game called Fable Fortune, which was❀ discontinued in March of this year and can no longer be played. Coincidentally, (or maybe not) the Fable Twitter account was cre🦄ated in March.

All of this news and speculation hinges on the from both Tom Warren and Aaron Greenberg, but there is a lot worth mentioning in those tweets that are less than 100 words long themselves. No other executives, creators, or anyone else close to the story have expanded on it and Mr. Greenberg himself hasn't said anything further regarding it. Last year we had fairly solid evidence that Fable IV was in development, but 📖it wasn't mentioned at E3.
Because of that leak last year, many fans have been patiently (or not so patiently) waiting for news on whether or not there would, in fact, be another installment to the Fable franchise. Hopes for a Perfect Dark reboot should be mitigated though, as there is no credible information of its development and th🅘e twitter account mentioned yesterday is unofficial, perhaps undermining Aaron Greenberg's claim that it is "standard practice to secure social ha🌺ndles for IP" even if there is no immediate intention to create a new title.
Whatever Aaron Greenberg claims, it is worth getting excited about this news. It appears as though Mr. Greenberg was trying to get ahead of the hype, but in doing so, undermined his own efforts for two reasons. The first is the accounts were created this year. They weren't "inactive for years" as he clꦕaimed and the second is that if it really were standard practice to secure handles for IP—even if they don't do anything with it—then it shouldn't have been possible for someone other than a Microsoft employee to get that handle, but they did.
It looks like Fable IV is happening, or at least being seriously discussed. Perfect Dark, howev✱er, looks like it's getting left behind for n🍌ow.
