Fable Narrative Lead Departs from Playground Games

Fable narrative lead Anna Megill has announced her departure from Playground Games starting in August.

"In August, I'm stepping away from my role as Narrative Lead on Fable. I've had several wonderful years scribbling away in my fairytale cottage, but the time feels right for new challenges," Megill wrote on her tweet.

Megill has been with Playground Games since 2021 and has been the narrative lead for Fable since July 2022.

"Working on Fable was a dream come true for me, and it's wrenching to leave it behind," she added. "But Playground has assembled a Heroically talented team, so I know it's in good hands."

Megill cited that she will be taking some time off to rest and will be ready for a new project by October.

What's Next For Fable?

The Fable franchise was first introduced to Xbox on 2004 and was developed by Lionhead Studios.

In 2020, Microsoft announced that Fable will be rebooted for Xbox Series X and will be developed by Forza Horizon studio Playground games.

During the recent trailer release, it was revealed that U.K. comedian Richard Ayoade will star in Fable. He narrated the trailed as 'Dave, vegetable enthusiast.'

Megill Shuts Down Bad Blood with Fable

Shortly after her announcement, Megill tweeted how some people are "being silly" and immediately jumped into conclusion that something was wrong with the development of Fable.

"Some folks are being silly, so let me be clear: I reached a good stopping point to jump off the project, so I did," she wrote.

She also cleared that she has "nothing but fondness and respect for Playground and her colleagues there."
