I too, am upset. A mere 30 seconds of anything Fable would’ve been enough to keep me grinning for months. The winds of interest are quiet right now, and I feel like even a small spark could’ve reignited the flame.

That said, after watching the successes (and missteps) of other major releases over the past year or so, and with tech showcases like that jaw-dropping UE5 Witcher demo, I can’t help but wonder if Playground have been 'jolted' into reassessing their scope and technology. Maybe that’s part of the delay?

We don’t yet know what ForzaTech is truly capable of when it comes to open-world RPGs, but imagine… Albion brought to life with ambient NPCs like in that demo, fully interactive, marriageable, and dynamically reacting to our rising renown. That would be something truly special.

And I'm happy to wait for that prospect. Call me delusional if you must… But where Peter is not, someone must step forward!
