[mayham2199]

Everyone saw this coming.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Honestly? Least expected delay yet.

 

[danklord]

"so it can have the dedicated moment it deserves"

Just say you're scared of GTA bro

 

[Instant_Classic]

The game isn't ready yet, needs moar dev time.

 

[Moondoggy]

I'll just buy a 2nd copy of GTA6 in February to spite them.

 

[Deficit]

Is anyone actually looking forward to this game?

[LordCBH]

Don't care what month it releases in, I will be there for it.

[Bartski]

whatever. Only e-day for me, excited for the showcase next sunday

 

[Fbh]

GTA is the excuse. The gameplay revealed looked rough, this was probably getting delayed anyway IMO.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Yeah, aged like a fine milk in Sahara Desert

 

[Buggy Loop]

Then GTA 6 will delay to 2027

 

[Deficit]

whatever. Only e-day for me, excited for the showcase next sunday

Cautiously optimistic about clockwork revolution.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Lol they can't get this game out

 

[Represent.]

Modern Warfare 4 in October followed by GTA 6 in November... Id move out the way too

Two absolutely massive juggernaugts dropping

 

[Witchilich]

Halo Infinite development hell vibes. They have been working on this since 2017. Any AAA game that takes 10 years is guaranteed to have gone through development hell.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

It's fine, but why lie about it?

In order to plan our game launches through the holidays, in a way that works best for players, we're moving Fable to February 2027 so it can have the dedicated moment it deserves.

In a way that works best for players? Just STFU. This is a money decision, straight up. And that's fine, but don't lie about.

 

[SHAKEZ]

Expected, no way they're going to throw all those years of development in the trash by releasing next to GTA.
Would be funny if GTA also delayed to next year lol.

Imagine calling COD an "absolutely massive juggernaugt" infront of GTA VI. Considering how much AI slop was used in BLOPS 7.

 

[Superposition]

Yeah, aged like a fine milk in Sahara Desert

 

[adamsapple]

Dec to Feb isn't the biggest delay, GTA VI will take up those two months neatly.

 

[Witchilich]

Is anyone actually looking forward to this game?

The last green rats who are holding the fort are the only one looking forward to this game.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Is the cross section really that big? I can't imagine it is. What does MS have then from a first party perspective the rest of the year? Cod and that's it? Almost 100 billion in acquisitions and this is all they can do?

 

[Banjo64]

This game was being reported on in January 2018.

Sources: Microsoft plots Fable return

Work is underway on a brand new, big-budget Fable game, Eurogamer can reveal.

I am sorry because I actually like a lot of Xbox games, but Xbox the company is possibly the biggest joke in gaming.

What the hell does AI have to do with anything. MW4 will easily be the second best selling game of the year.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Where is the accountability for Mrs. Sharma for this decision?

No pitch forks? Shocker!

Unless...Ah yes...of course this was Phil Spencer's last act as Talking Head.

 

[Odinnii]

They need the the time to add the body type B animations

Wait, what was the original release date? The Tweet said Autumn, I thought that was Sept-Nov.

It wasn't "this game", Lionhead doesn't even exist anymore, lol.

 

[LordCBH]

halo, Gears, CoD allegedly.

 

[acm2000]

makes sense, gears is the big game for 2nd half of 2026

 

[KyoZz]

This is gonna be so funny if GTAVI is indeed releasing in February 2027 on PC

 

[balls of snow]

One step closer making Gta 6 a reality.

 

[Banjo64]

It wasn't "this game", Lionhead doesn't even exist anymore, lol.

Read the article before laughing.

Second line;

Fable franchise owner Microsoft has tasked UK developer Playground, which makes the Forza Horizon racing games for Xbox and PC, with creating this new Fable, sources close to the project have told Eurogamer. Microsoft said in a statement it does not comment on rumour or speculation.

 

[Magic Carpet]

The final MS game. Once Fable is released the Xbox Series generatiion is offically over.

 

[Boss Mog]

Maybe they can take a page from DQ12's book and start over from scratch.

 

[Fermbiz]

This is so silly since GTAVI is going to be pushed to 2027 anyway.

for those of us who are not playing GTA 6 at launch

 

[Stafford]

It better not. Enough with these goddamned delays, for both of these games.

 

[IFireflyl]

[rkofan87]

and most likely just like avowed when it comes out it'll be shit

 

[Plague Doctor]

This game is destined to be Game Pass filler slop, so does the move matter?

 

[Witchilich]

What the hell does AI have to do with anything. MW4 will easily be the second best selling game of the year.

They used AI heavily in the last Call of Duty
