14 DAY TRIAL // Peter Molyneux, the leader of 22 Cans, says that he explored the idea of a Fable-based MMO during his time at Lionhead, but he was unsure whether the team would actually commit resources to create it.
The developer tells IGN that, “There were theories about how you would level up and class up and what the classes would be and so on, but we never got out of the brainstorming segment of that.”
He adds, “The thing about Fable is that it was such a rich world. It was, well, what the name says it is.”
Molyneux says that role-playing games in general have solid potential for the MMO transitions, because they have a rich lore that can be explored.
At the moment, Lionhead is working on an yet unannounced Unreal Engine 4-powered title, presumably for the Xbox 720 from Microsoft.
