After Microsoft canceled Fable Legends and closed series developer Lionhead Studios, people might have wondered what's next for the Microsoft-owned RPG series.

We still don't know for sure, but Xbox boss Phil Spencer has weighed in to say the Fable franchise overall "has a lot of places it could go." He said there is "nothing to announce right now," which suggests Microsoft does indeed have a plan to bring the series back.

Spencer's comments came in response to someone who asked if there would ever be a Fable 4.

The last entry in the numbered series was Fable III, which came out in 2010 for Xbox 360. Fable Heroes and Fable: The Journey came out later, with Fable Legends in development as an online-focused multiplayer game before its cancellation.

If Microsoft is to announce a new Fable game soon, a likely place would be E3. Microsoft's E3 briefing takes place on the afternoon of Sunday, June 11.
