there is news that Microsoft is shutting down Lionhead Studios and that all employees are are going to be relocated to Rare to help work on a new secret project that could be revealed at E3 this summer. also the last 2 Fable games, Fable: he Journey and Fable Heroes will still be released. Microsoft was thinking about shutting down the Studio after Peter Molyneux left and went to a different Game Company. what is nice about this is that no one was fired and all employees got to keep their jobs and will help Rare on a games for the 360 and the Kinect. who knows hat Microsoft has up their sleeve this time. only time will tell what will happen to the Fable series now that Lionhead is no longer a part of Microsoft. hopefully Rare will handle the next Fable game? hopefully Fable 4 will be the best Fable game ever made?

Not sure if I ever heard of/played those. Fable Games sounds Fantasy-like.

Who knows, but any either case this is bad. Let's hope it's just a April Fool's joke. If M$ keeps up with Kinect thing, I can tell you that they will lose a ton of it's user base next gen to Sony.

Someone here hasn't been reading the posts in this thread, Jedi Knight already said that it was an April Fool's Prank.

Each Fable game gets worse, I liked the 1st one, but each get easier and dumbed down. It's impossible to die in Fable 3 and it has stupid glitches.

Lionhead also made Black and White, and I loved that game. Then they made a not as good sequel.

Well even so. This could actually happen at some point. Lionhead studios is headed towards the Kinect route, check the next two fable games for proof. Fable doesn't need Kinect. Fable was just fine before 3. No reason to change that.

The name Fable sort of gives it away.

Yeah the first one is best, but I liked the third one more than the second one.
