Xbox One games NEWS: Beloved Microsoft franchise tipped to return

Xbox One fans will be pleased to hear that a major franchise is being tipped to return.

Former Lionhead developer Don Williamson recently suggested that Fable 4 is in development.

“Mmm ok, having no inside information, I totally know who’s building Fable 4 now. Interesting choice…”

Asked by WCCFTech if the studio is based in Brighton, he added: “There’s nobody here in Brighton that could take on a task of that magnitude.”

Williamson has since played down the tweets, telling followers that he is currently only speculating.

“Deleted previous tweet because people seem to think I have some knowledge of something that may or may not be happening whereas all I have is speculation.”

It’s been speculated that Playground Studios is working on the game, especially given a recent job advert that referenced a triple-A action-RPG.

Speaking of Xbox One games, Microsoft recently announced the next batch of free releases on Games with Gold.

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III will be available on Xbox One from January 1 until January 31. 

Ubisoft’s Zombi will join the Xbox One free games lineup on January 16. Subscribers will be able to download it until midnight on February 15.

Xbox 360 users will be able to pick up Tomb Raider Underworld from January 1 until January 15, followed by Army of Two from January 16 until January 31.

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III

“Van Helsing III will make its debut on Xbox One and will be Xbox One X Enhanced upon release.

“In this final chapter of the trilogy, you’ll see Borgovia in its darkest state. The civil war may be over, but a strange cult is prophesizing the end of the world. Van Helsing will do battle against even more terrifying beasts with an expanded arsenal for six specialized character classes and a more detailed, diverse leveling system.

“He’s now prepared to face his archenemy in this world of squabbling factions and criminals, but he won’t be alone — Lady Katarina, his ghost companion, is still with him and her story is set to be revealed as well.”

Zombi

“How long do you think you can survive in the streets of London, surrounded by the infected among the roads and underground canals? If you happen to fall victim to these mindless enemies, you’ll lose all your possessions. Start again as a different survivor and you can fight your way back to recover your stash. Plan well and you may make it out alive.”
