Ex-Lionhead developers announce Fable Fortune, a free-to-play card game, coming to Kickstarter
Although Microsoft may have closed Lionhead Software down, and canceled Fable Legends, it seems like the Fable series still has a shot at life, via Fable Fortune, a free-to-play card-based video game. According to the Ex-Lionhead staff in an interview with IGN, the game was in development for 18 months before the company was shut down. The game will be coming to Kickstarter, from "indie" developer Flaming Fowl Studios, comprised of former Lionhead staff such as Craig Oman, Mike West, and Marcus Lynn. While Microsoft has given Flaming Fowl permission to continue using the Fable license, they won't be publishing the game. This is why they've bought the game to Kickstarter. The crowd-funding campaign will begin on May 31, and will require £250,000 over the course of 4 weeks, in addition to multiple stretch goals.
