Fable has lost its Narrative Lead: Anna Megill announced on Twitter that she was leaving Playground Games to face new challenges after two and a half years of working there.
"In August, I’m stepping away from my role as Narrative Lead on Fable. I’ve 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."
Megill will depart the studio in August and take a break until October. I'm sure she'll be able to find a new exciting adventure soon as her experience is pretty impressive. She worked on Control at Remedy Entertainment, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora at Massive Entertainment, and Dishonored: Death of the Outsider at Arkane Studios.
Apparently, her post inspired some speculation, so Megill later commented:
"Some folks are being silly, so let me be clear: I reached a good stopping point to jump off the project, so I did. And I decided to take a small break before jumping into my next gig. That's it. I have nothing but fondness & respect for Playground & my colleagues there."
It's not clear who will take Megill's role. Fable 4 still doesn't have a release date, and the developers haven't graced us with much gameplay footage. Peter Molyneux, the creator of the original Fable, even said he'd love to see more mechanics and features.
Let's hope the upcoming adventure lives up to expectations.
