Fable Legends-ontwikkelaar Lionhead werkt met een klein team aan wat het volgende grote project moet worden. Hoofd van de studio John Needham legt uit dat men momenteel bezig is om nieuwe concepten uit te werken.

"It's a team of about eight guys we have in the studio who are trying to build the next big IP for us. They're working on a couple of new prototypes for completely different games - not Fable related. They'll also be working on new games we can put within Fable Legends as well."

Needham verwacht dat er al snel resultaten te zien zijn: "The primary purpose of the group is to come up with new game IP, and we'll hopefully this next year have something exciting to talk about."

"We're going to come up with new IP.," zo benadrukt Needham. "There is great IP in Lionhead's history, it's just spotty who owns what. Fable, clearly we're going to be investing most of the studio's efforts into that, but we'll have some new IP to share with you soon."

"Here's where the difference in modern Lionheard is going to be. You haven't seen this yet but you will. I want a very transparent, open, active dialogue with our community about our games, about Fable Legends, about whatever game comes out of incubation."

"We will have a process internally where we take that feedback seriously and we build our priorities on the game our community wants and their feedback. And we get into an iteration loop where our community feels like they're actively in development of the product.

"It's something MMOs do pretty well these days and we're going to adopt that even though we're not doing MMOs. We're going to be a very community focused studio going forward. That's part of the reason why connecting players is such a big deal to me."
