Eidos Montreal has been helping with the development of Fable, it’s been confirmed.
Following the release of the game’s latest trailer, the official Eidos Montreal account on X posted that the studio was supporting developer Playground Games with the making of the RPG.
“We’re so excited to be supporting the development of Fable,” the message reads.
“It’s been a blast collaborating with the talented team at Playground Games to craft an unforgettable adventure.”
The last Eidos Montreal game released was 2021’s Guardians of the Galaxy, which was met with a generally positive critical response but didn’t meet Square Enix’s sales expectations.
Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier originally reported back in 2022 that Eidos Montreal was working on a number of projects, including “co-dev partnerships with Xbox including Fable“.
A year ago the game’s narrative lead, Anna Megil, left the project to pursue something new.
Megil, who had worked previously on Guild Wars 2, Dishonored and Control, said on X that she’d “had several wonderful years scribbling away in my fairytale cottage, but the time feels right for new challenges.”
“Working on Fable was a dream come true for me, and it’s wrenching to leave it behind. But Playground has assembled a Heroically talented team, so I know it’s in good hands. I’m excited for what’s coming next—for them and for me,” Megil said at the time.
