Playground Games said in a LinkedIn hiring post that Fable is still coming later in 2026, easing concerns the RPG could slip into 2027.
Those worries grew after Forza Horizon 6's strong launch put the studio's focus on its racing hit, which has already posted its biggest-ever Early Access debut and begun seasonal content updates.
The post said Playground is still recruiting across multiple disciplines, signaling parallel support for Forza Horizon 6 and continued development on Fable.
Fable still lacks a firm release date, but Xbox's June 7 Games Showcase is the likely venue for a more precise launch update after an 11-minute gameplay deep dive in January.
