That was until 2020 when Microsoft announced a new Fable project set to be developed by Playground Games. Many assumed that was the end of the Fable franchise. However, in 2016, Lionhead officially closed its doors.

The series is lauded for the myriad of ways it allows players to interact with NPCs, and most of the entries in the series were developed by Lionhead Studios. The Fable franchise is a beloved Xbox institution that takes place in a very tongue-in-cheek fantasy version of England. Sadly, some reports suggest that the game’s development is coming along somewhat slowly and that the game is still at least a couple of years off. However, aside from a cinematic announcement trailer, we haven’t seen hide or hair of the game since then. Two years ago, Microsoft announced a Perfect Dark reboot set to be developed by The Initiative. The game received critical acclaim from reviewers and fans but was sadly followed by the underwhelming Perfect Dark Zero for the Xbox 360 five years later. In 2000, Rare released Perfect Dark: an N64 spy thriller-themed FPS about conspiracies and aliens. Instead, we’re left to realize that this game is a long way off. Given the amount of time that has passed since the game’s announcement, the 2022 Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase would have been an excellent opportunity to reveal more info.
Elder Scrolls fans can’t even put together enough leaks and rumors to theorycraft the game. Even then, we only got a short cinematic trailer designed to reassure audiences that yes, Bethesda was working on the title. Through it all, though, we haven’t heard any substantial updates about The Elder Scrolls 6 since it was announced four years ago. Here are the biggest previously confirmed titles that were missing in action during the Xbox and Bethesda showcase. Given that the presentation focused on games that are coming out in the next 12 months…well, that might tell you a little something about what your expectations for those missing titles should be. Unfortunately, quite a few of those games were missing from Xbox and Bethesda’s otherwise massive presentation. Countless studios closely affiliated with the Xbox are busy working on major games. However, those games only make up a small sampling of the titles coming to Microsoft’s supported hardware. For instance, few can really say they hated learning that the Persona franchise was finally coming to Xbox or that Hideo Kojima was creating an Xbox-exclusive title. Others, however, were pleasant surprises. Some of the info shared during the show was as welcome as it was expected (such as new trailers for Redfall, Starfield, and Forza Motorsport). Yet there were still some notable titles missing from the event. Sure, some might think what all the fuss is about, but hopefully in time we will see a brand new game that can put Joanna Dark back among the FPS elite.The 2022 Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase was easily the longest digital showcase of the year so far, and it contained a healthy mix of updates on previously announced titles and world premieres.
Both the remastered Perfect Dark and Perfect Dark Zero can be found in the Rare Replay collection, and are optimised rather well for Xbox One and its controller. Perfect Dark may not have been the quintessential franchise for Xbox like it was when it gave the N64 its epic curtain call moment, but it is part of the Xbox history and gave Xbox 360 a memorable launch title. Sure, Rare are working on giving Xbox One owners some Battletoads as they continue to add new content to Sea of Thieves, but for a studio that has such a strong legacy and so many great IPs at their disposal, they could be doing so much more here. With FPS reboots being all the rage these days, it would make so much sense to have a new Perfect Dark – just imagine if a brand-new entry was announced for Series X. It’s a shame that, for a franchise that still has so much potential, Microsoft and Rare have never given it another go since 2005.
