Games That Burried Their Dev Teams

Video games can be a real bonanza, or spectacular flops. Some of them fail so badly, though, that they bring doom to entire dev teams. Here are 13 such cases.

Fable Legends

Those were the days, right? You could play god in Black & White, and you had the amazing chance to choose whether you want to be good or bad in Fable. Lionhead Studios created both of these games, but alas, they will never create a new game again.

Unfortunately because – to be honest – we'd absolutely love to play Black & White 3 now. Or maybe you'd like to play Fable Legends, the would-be last production of the studio? It was supposed to be the first part of the series, focusing on multiplayer gameplay. Four people would play as positive characters, and one would play the role of an anti-hero commanding an army of monsters. Unfortunately, we're unlikely to find out whether this project would be successful.

In 2012, the legendary Peter Molyneux left the studio, and four years later Microsoft announced the cancellation of Fable Legends. Lionhead Studios closed shortly after, so don't count on new Fable nor Black & White, at least not from by the cult studio.
