This doesn't come as a big surprise, given that Forza series developers Playground Games are developing Fable 4. As Megill said, “Narrative encompasses more than writing.” Fable 4 is using the Forza game engine While “lead writer” and “narrative lead” might sound interchangeable, narrative design is a wide-reaching discipline that shapes the player’s interaction with a game’s story. Megill has an extensive history in games narrative, having worked on franchises like Guild Wars and Dishonored, and recently as narrative lead on Control.

'Fable’s clearly always been a little more light-hearted and a little more British, I think I could say, and I think Playground will keep it there,' Phil Spencer said in 2021. Playground beefed up a new Warwickshire studio just for it, so this definitely isn't a small-time Fable spinoff. According to a 2018 Eurogamer report (opens in new tab), Playground had been chipping away at Fable 4 for a few years with a team of about 200 on an open-world action RPG.
