For those who are new to the world, I will explain it a bit. The “Flight tests” or “Flight tests” are stages in which the development of a game launches the first compilations of it, in parts and for test certain areas or very specific parts. For example, as in this case, the lighting of a game.
When a game enters this phase, it is because it has progressed to a part of development where release is not too far away. Obviously, that doesn’t mean we’ll get the game tomorrow, but that 2024 date for the new Fable seems pretty close if we look at a few hints left by various LinkedIn profiles.
Falbe is now fully playable
the profile of Simon Kentwho is a QA technician at Playground Games, warns that the game already performing flight tests for the lighting of the game. This stage suggests that all conceptual, story, and gameplay parts have fully entered the production phase, so there may already be some final code in the game prototypes.
We know from another employee of the company that the game is already playable, so it makes sense that they are in the phase of adding details such as lighting, physics improvements, etc.
At the moment there is no official date for the game, but we hope to see it throughout this year and predictably at the Xbox & Bethesda Show in 2023. Fingers crossed they give us some thing to drink.
