New graphics from Fable suggest return of crime city from second installment of RPG series

We still know very little about Fable, the continuation of the popular RPG series from years ago, which is being developed by Playground Games, known for the Forza Horizon series. Therefore, we welcome any new information about this project with interest.The latest updates have brought us some concept art from this game.

1. The images were published by the website mp1st.com. They are said to come from the portfolio of an artist who no longer works at Playground Games. Unfortunately, their name was not disclosed.
2. Some of the artwork shows a main protagonist looking at a metropolis from a distance. One of the pictures hints that it's Bloodstone, the crime-ridden port city we got to explore in Fable II.
3. Part of the art is also dedicated to the village where the main character grew up. It's worth noting that some of them depict this place after a flood.
4. Other concept art shows the exploration of canals and a confrontation with a werewolf, which was partially seen in a gameplay trailer from a year ago.

We don't really know when these concept art pieces were created. The game has been in development since 2018, so some of the things shown in these images may have changed.

This month, specifically on January 22 at 10:00 am PT, Microsoft is hosting a Developer Direct presentation. Matt Booty, the head of Xbox, recently confirmed that one of the games to be showcased there will be Fable.
