Fable Reboot Wishlist: 5 Things We Want (And 5 We Don't)

6. Do: A familiar yet different world

Fable 4
Lionhead

The world of Albion has been with us for a while now, and it's been through a lot. An industrial revolution, technological advancement, capitalism, Albion has advanced and seen it all. Many however miss the simple fantasy setting of the first, and this is something that Playground games can see, and are heading towards fixing.

The land of Albion is recognisable and fun, and the reboot can go in one of two directions, either completely overhaul the land, reinventing it completely, or have it established as the same but change a lot of what we know about it.

The latter of these options would be more appealing to fans. Strip back the Albion that we know, reinvent it yet still featuring geographical and possibly mythological references to the previous games. That could make for an experience that lets people exist in the world that they grew up playing in, whilst simultaneously finding a completely new one.

Many have noted that the trailer features no remains of the Spire, and this could lead into the rumours that the game takes place in a world years after the events of the previous, after a wish ended the Albion we knew and birthed something new on top of it. This would be a great and satisfying direction for the game to go in, so hopefully, those rumours are true.
