However, fans want the promise of fantastic games from innovational franchises as they look towards Xbox's future and what better way to establish that than to show off an enhanced reboot of the Fable series running on next-generation hardware. No matter if it releases two years into the console's cycle, the promise of a game like Fable 4 would do a lot to convince fans they should invest in Microsoft if revealed in the next few mon


Of all of the games rumored for the Xbox Series X, a reboot of Fable is one of the most anticipated. While the ubisoft game update is in no way confirmed, there are rumors that Fable will appear at Xbox's exclusive presentation in July , resurrecting a franchise that hasn't received a true new entry in almost a dec


Instead, we got Fable 3, a game full of boring gameplay and a story that felt just as stale. Even games like Mass Effect 3 and Dead Space 3 offer somewhat of a good game, Fable 3 sadly just has nothing redeeming

Nintendo revolutionized the platforming genre with every entry in the Super Mario series, either adding innovative features or refining mechanics . Rare had their own platformer called Banjo-Kazooie that was equally as impressive to play.


Yet, there is one franchise within the Xbox's library that could stand toe to toe with Sony and offer some significant star power if announced over the next few months. That is, of course, the heavily-rumored Fable 4 . Teased to be receiving a significant resurrection over at Playground Games - the developer of the Forza series - the rumors surrounding the fourth iteration of the popular British fantasy series have managed to drum up a lot of hype over the last few months. Some have claimed that Fable 4 will be a full reboot , stripping away the more industrial setting of Fable 3, while others claim it'll be much more expansive than previous entries, with bigger worlds and more personalizat

A third title was created as recent as 2017, but that title pulled away from the massive battles of the first and the tactical gameplay of the second, resulting in no fans being satisfied. As far as most are concerned, the last true Dawn of War title was the second game, with its last expansion releasing in 2011. Few RTS titles could combine epic spectacle with casual RTS gameplay the way Relic did with Dawn of War .


If the rumors are to be believed, Fable 4 is exactly the kind of game that the Xbox One should've had in droves; an expansive and innovational RPG that takes the ideas behind the original trilogy and uses them to create a truly next-gen experience. Better yet, it's also proof that Xbox wants to create long-lasting and investable franchises that, much like PlayStation has done with God of War , can alter and evolve with the ti


In particular, these eight horror games stood out as the most impressive of E3 2019 . These games were either featured in a press conference, pre-recorded presentation, or during the special E3 Coliseum showca


The rumors appear to be painting not only a significant next iteration for a much-beloved franchise, but also a rich, complex, and deeply customizable RPG that will show off just how powerful the Xbox Series X has the capability to be. The excitement from fans of the franchise alone trumps a lot of other significant games in the Xbox's pipeline, with the Fable fanbase crossing their fingers in anticipation each and every time Xbox holds a major press event or confere
