That said, the team in question is very talented, and I'm sure they'll do a fantastic job."ĭespite the closer, some ex-Lionhead folk did manage to salvage their spin-off card game Fable Fortune. Fable is a weird game, and a tough one to deconstruct for a new team. On the other hand it is a little curious to get rid of the team that is uniquely expert in making Fable, and then try and make Fable. "On the one hand it's great for the UK games industry, and very pleasing that Fable isn't dead indeed, it will be lovely to play one as a punter, without coming out in hives.
