Playground Games said on LinkedIn it is still hiring across engineering, design, community, cinematics and production to help finish Fable for release later in 2026.
Six highlighted openings include a principal gameplay engineer, senior UI engineer, senior producer, senior game designer, media lead and cinematic artist, signaling a late-stage push after Forza Horizon 6 launched this week.
Xbox is also feeding in support from other studios: Matt Booty said last month Blizzard’s cinematics team has been helping on Fable as Microsoft expands cross-studio collaboration.
Fable is slated for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in autumn, with the hiring update reinforcing that window after reports of an internal delay and a possible move to December.
