Experience with the Unreal 3 Editor and UE4 ”would be a bonus.” Well at least we know whatever they’re making it’ll have sound, which tends to be a good thing. A new Fable on the way?
Given that Lionhead is part of Microsoft Game Studios, this new Unreal Engine 4 project could very well be for the next Xbox platform. Maybe Fable will be a launch title? Hmm.
”Lionhead alluded to it in early 2012, but this job opening on their site explicitly states they’re working w/ UE4,” tweeted Superannuation. The last entry in the Fable franchise was The Journey which deviated from the usual formula of the action adventure/RPG world of Albion. Below is the Lionhead job advertisement:
