In the Resetera forum, leaker and industry insider “NateTheHate” spoke about upcoming Xbox Studios projects. In this case it’s about the release period of “Fable” and the work on a reboot of “Banjo-Kazooie”.
In the last few days, Microsoft not only confirmed four Xbox titles, which find their way to other platforms such as the PS5. In addition, the Redmond company announced that the Xbox Games Showcase will return in June.
The company did not provide any information about the projects that Microsoft could present during the event. According to current reports, the new “Fable” title is being considered for a presentation as part of the Xbox Games Showcase 2024. As is well known, this was created by the “Forza Horizon” makers at Playground Games.
As the leaker and industry insider “NateTheHate” reports, unnamed sources are said to have confirmed to him last year that the release of “Fable”, which was announced in July 2020, is internally scheduled for 2025.
This would make “Fable” suitable for a reveal at this year’s Xbox Games Showcase. Especially since shortly after the announcement it became very quiet about the role-playing game and the community is slowly becoming impatient.
Development of the Banjo Kazooie reboot restarted?
Another title that “NateTheHate” talked about is the reboot of “Banjo-Kazooie,” which has been floating around in the rumor mill for a while now. According to the leaker, those responsible recently decided to rethink the concept compared to the original version.
“Last I heard, it was revised from its original vision and scope. Therefore it will take a while. “Honestly, I think they talked about it too soon,” said “NateTheHate” about the comeback of “Banjo-Kazooie”.
According to the leaker, Microsoft gave the green light to a reboot of “Banjo-Kazooie” as early as 2022. Since an official announcement is still pending, it is unclear which studio is producing the reboot.
Fans of the “State of Decay” franchise must continue to be patient. According to “NateTheHate”, there is nothing new to report about “State of Decay 3”. Since the developers at Undead Labs have also kept a low profile in the past, a rumor arose some time ago that “State of Decay 3” could be stuck in development hell. Just like with “Fable”, the official announcement took place in the summer of 2020.
Even though “NateTheHate” has repeatedly proven to be a reliable source in the past, it must of course be pointed out that Microsoft has not yet commented on the rumors about “Fable” and “Banjo-Kazooie”.
We may find out more at the Xbox Games Showcase 2024 in June.
