It appears that Microsoft will reveal a new Fable and Perfect Dark game at its July event. Earlier today, two Twitter placeholder accounts were discovered. One is for Fable while the other one is for Perfect Dark. Not only that, but both of them are registered to Microsoft email addresses.
Now what’s really important to note is that these Microsoft email addresses are NOT hotmail addresses. Instead, they are emails from Microsoft itself. At least the one for the Fable account. Regarding the Perfect Dark account, that email may not be a Microsoft email.
What’s also interesting to note is that we’ve heard rumors about these two games in the past. Back in February, a rumor surfaced regarding Fable 4. However, the artist debunked those Fable 4 rumors, claiming that he had no relationship with Playground Games.
While Microsoft hasn’t officially announced them yet, it appears that this will happen during its first-party Xbox Series X games event. Naturally, these games will also come out on the PC.
Now as always, we strongly suggest taking these Twitter accounts with a grain of salt. While it seems likely that these are fake, someone could have faked everything. As such, we’re marking this as a rumor. At least for now.
Stay tuned for more!
I’m not sure who discovered the @fable and @PerfectDarkGame placeholders, but a Microsoft Xbox employee is following one, and the other is registered to a Microsoft email address 👀 pic.twitter.com/MagqUbPiZf

UPDATE:
Aaron Greenberg, Xbox Games Marketing at Microsoft, claimed that these registrations were made in order to secure social handles for Microsoft’s IPs.
I know everyone is hungry for news, but sorry to get your hopes up. These accounts have been inactive for years, it’s standard practice to secure social handles for our IP.

As real as the Bloodborne PC port
Too late for remakes.
nah never tool late the F are you talking about https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/61d38eb5ccb4ba1d7b7c99a84622bb4aa3d45ca7e141ac3f11396ca7c5d3464f.png
Because when there’s too many remakes, it becomes a trend, and as such, people will get disillusioned by the repeated amount of remakes (I’m not saying it’s a bad thing by itself).
Microsoft really has to put up some show if they want to win Console war. Here hoping that PS brings more exclusives to PC, never owned console never going to buy PS for 1-2 games that i like. I would like to see some new original SP IP-s from microsoft, but what we probably will see are Halo 6. Fable IV, Forza 8, Gears 6(probably too soon), maybe sunset overdrive 2. They havent had anything new for while.
I’ve owned a plethora of consoles
Home consoles stopped being worth it around 2007 and portable ones stopped being worth it around 2011, unless you’re a Vita fan, but that thing is only good for imports and emulation.
I own the three console (PS4, xbone and switch), I play mostly RPGs, so PS4 exclusives if they don’t have rpgs elements I’m not interested. For the xbox I’ve only bought the console because of a deal on ebay and at that time they introduced the backward compatibility of the first RDR (thats my favorite console exclusive to date)
So in the end I’m still playing 80% of the time on PC and using the Switch for portability.
how is genshin impact like zelda??
Heres the thing Microsoft doesn’t care about the console war. The xbox 360 was really profitable. It would have been if the Xbox 360 didn’t have the RROD but it did and cost microsoft alot of money.
Now with the xbox one. Even though that sales of the console are a lot less than xbox 360, its profitable. For starters, the xbox one was sold at launch at break even/small profit/small loss (depending on the area). On top of that Xbox One has a lot more/bigger streams of income. More people buying digital games,Xbox game pass, and most importantly Microtransactions. They also spend a lot less money on marketing.
Even if the XseX sales are exactly the same as xbox one. Microsoft will still make a lot of money profit. Hell maybe even more because they don’t have to deal with a Kinect b.s. And they have plenty of other b.s to cut. You really dont need an whole xbox show to tell people about an update in sea of thieves. On top of that there’s no reason to spend money on conferences anymore. Nintendo was ahead of the ball on that one
I only really care about the next Forza, everything else is going to be a bonus for me.
They should stop trying to revive Perfect Dark. The only good game was the first one and that was only because shooters on console in the 90s were few and far between, and even then only because Rare was riding off of the success of Goldeneye before it – the gameplay was the same just better.
Perfect Dark Zero is an awful game. It should have ended there.
MS: Our last event was quite crappy, but we will do better next time! Promise!
As much as I love the Fable trilogy, would it still be Fable without Lionhead?
Wait…
“both of them are registered to Microsoft email addresses.”
” Regarding the Perfect Dark account, that email may not be a Microsoft email.”
You wrote in the 1st paragraph that they are both registered to Microsoft email addresses as a firm statement of fact, then in the second paragraph you go back on what you write and say that actually one of the two email addresses may not be a Microsoft email.
So which is it?
