The official Twitter account of Xbox Game Studios Publishing came up with a mysterious message late last night and said that exciting game news is waiting for us today. Normally this tweet wouldn’t have attracted much attention, but the tweet ended with “just give us one more day to get the chickens ready” and then there was a chicken emoji.
Fable lovers, of course, guessed that as soon as they saw the chicken, the news of this game was about Fable. Anyway, when you’re involved in both Xbox and chicken, you don’t think of many other names. Fable; It was also our first title in Fable Anniversary and Fable: The Lost Chapters.
When the players thought the announcement was about Fable and flooded the account with tweets, another tweet came from XGSP: “We called it our Fable Anniversary, but that name had already been taken.” The fact that the name Fable is mentioned directly this time has made things even more interesting, you see.
But then you know what happened? The XGSP account deleted both tweets that received most interactions, and then tweeted:
“Sorry about the confusion! We don’t have any big game news for tomorrow or any information about Playground’s upcoming Fable game.
This incident, which occurred shortly, may indicate that Xbox Game Studios Publishing was preparing for an announcement regarding Fable, but then gave up. Why else would they say, “We have big news tomorrow,” put chickens in it, and even call it Fable?
It’ll smell soon.
