Very likely will be a launch game for MS's new handheld console.

Hopefully it will launch on Steam ex aequo.

How many years of development has this game had? I wonder if it's another case of Microsoft Mismanagement™ or if it's actually so huge and detailed that it's actually worth all of this time spent in the works.

The studio is pivoting from making Forza, to making Fable, this feels like a perfectly normal development timeline.

Actually there are two studios within Playground Games, I'm sure there's cross pollination but the other studio is still making Forza supposedly.

Fair point, but in that case it means they're not just pivoting, but building a whole new studio from the ground up for this game.

Yeah you're right. It is quite a lot, especially with this kind of an IP and expectations to deal with
