Yesterday, Microsoft revealed that Playground Games is working on a new Fable game. And, apparently a new rumor surfaced, suggesting that this Fable game will be an MMO. However two industry insiders have debunked this rumor, claiming that the next Fable game won’t be an MMO.
Now while Fable won’t be an MMO, this does not mean that it may not have any online elements. Klobrille, who previously hinted at Fable being announced at Microsoft’s event, hints at some online elements. According to him, this online elements may be similar to those of Forza Horizon 4.
Fable is an open-world Action-RPG. People really need to stop with this MMO nonsense. Even if there potentially will be online interactions similar to FH4, itโs not an MMO.

Windows Central’s tech writer, Jez, also claims that the new Fable game won’t be an MMO.
Can confirm rumours of Fable being an "MMO" are false btw.

MMO stands for Massively Multiplayer Online. In other words, Fable won’t be an MMORPG, similar to – let’s say – WoW, Final Fantasy 14 or Black Desert Online. However, this does not mean that the game may not have some online elements.
Fable is in a really early stage of development, so we really don’t know much about it. During its first-party showcase event, Microsoft presented a CG trailer for it. So yeah, don’t expect to be playing it anytime soon.

I think it will be like Forza Horizon 4. You can play completely offline but it will be designed to be a lesser experience if you do not participate in all the hourly live activities going on, basically an MMO lite. So I am sure Fable will also have a similar system.
That’s why this is my List Of games for the year.
1)Destroy All Humans!
2)Biomutant
3)Dying Light 2
I’m done with these so called “AAA” games. They are all Trash MMO-Lite. And better yet all those games will Be On GOG. So glad i don’t suffer from FOMO!
Your list is big bro ๐
Haha, good one man. But you get the idea i’m trying to convey here. ๐
My list is empty, i have a huge non finished and never played games. I probably need an extra life… but enjoy the game you are waiting for and hope you are not going to be disappointed cause the state of gaming now days is so low ๐
Good.
there’s still time to make it battle royale
LMAo, laugh so hard man. Thanks
Curious if they will have coop again this time around.
much better it’s not an MMO.
