The recent reveal of Xbox’s Fable has gamers buzzing with excitement, particularly due to its promise of a “truly” open world experience. Developed by Playground Games, this reboot aims to blend British humor with moral dilemmas, allowing players to explore a vibrant world where their choices genuinely matter.

Neumann’s vision to reduce the game’s file size and leverage cloud technology has opened doors previously thought closed.
