Developer From Baldur's Gate 3 Is Working On A New Fable Game

Baldur's Gate 3 is probably the biggest sleeper hit of 2023, well over 2 months after its release, the game is still on the tongue of gamers, and it would seem that the former producer of Baldur's Gate 3 will also be working on the highly anticipated Fable title. Ryan Clark has confirmed that he will be joining Xbox-owned PlayGround Games and will be lending his skills during the game's development.

Taking on the responsibility of remaking the iconic Fable franchise is no easy task, the franchise has well over 20 years of history and is one of the most influential western RPGs of all time. However, there is no better studio than PlayGround Games. The developer which was recently acquired by Xbox have had a few hiccups along the way, such as losing the narrative lead of Fable 4, but hopefully with the addition of Baldur's Gate former producer, things will start getting on track. Hopefully.

 

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Ryan Clark and his previous work, you may know him from his work on Larian Studios’ Baldur's Gate 3. Clark made the announcement via his LinkedIn Page where he shared that he was happy to announce that he would be taking on the role of Executive Producer at Playground Games, and will be a part of the team that will be working on the Fable remake. Ryan worked as an Animation Producer for Baldur's Gate 3 but also has experience working on several of EA's well known FIFA games.

There have been many concerns surrounding the Fable remake development, the most recent of these concerns is of course, the loss of Fable 4's narrative lead writer. However, even in the initial stages of the game's development, many longtime fans didn't have faith in the project as the team behind the original Fable games would not be included on the project. Even the most recent trailer for the game, which was shown off at this year's Xbox Showcase, became the most disliked videos of the year. With the inclusion of Ryan Clark, this will ease the tension from longtime fans of the series.

As of writing, the news of Ryan Clark's involvement in the Fable remake has seemingly gone down incredibly well with fans of both Fable and Baldur's Gate 3. The remake is rumored to be in a playable state, so it will be interesting to see how Clark's role will affect the project going forward. Despite all the concerns and controversies surrounding the project, it's good to hear the things are going smoothly and looks like things will be hopefully getting even better.
