Months ago at the Xbox Showcase, we saw an amazing promo video revealing a new Fable game. We haven’t seen or heard a thing at Playground Games since. This morning that all changed, Anna Megill on Twitter announced that she has been hired by Playground Games to be the lead writer for Fable.
@cynixy on Twitter:
So, I’ve been dropping hints about moving on to a new project for a while now. And I wanted to finalize the details before announcing anything. But now that my visa is approved (yay!) and my travel arrangements made, I can finally tell you

If you aren’t familiar with Anna Megill’s work, she has an amazing resume as she has worked on such games as Zelda – Spirit Tracks, dishonored, control, and Guild Wars.
Anna continues in a series of tweets, explaining what Fable means to her.
Fable holds a special place in my heart. It came out the year I started in gamedev, and its the first game I played with a developer’s eye. I loved understanding the how and why of my story choices and seeing the impact I had on the NPCs around me
But even so, I wasn’t sure this new Fable was right for me. I was like “Is this going to be just a bunch of medieval fart jokes?” But the team’s story vision reassured and excited me. It’s a PERFECT fit. I can’t wait to get started
