According to new rumors, Gears of War and Fable could be the next series to get the treatment Halo did with the Master Chief Collection.
Microsoft is reportedly issuing a remastered collection for one of its popular franchises, with Fable and Gears of War appearing to be strong contenders for this treatment. This isn't the first time that an iconic Xbox series has received a hefty facelift-- Halo: The Master Chief Collection was released in 2014 and served up modernized graphics, performance tweaks, and cinematics for some of the older entries in the franchise.
It is been a while since gamers have gotten their hands on a new Fable game. Fans have been waiting for a proper entry in the franchise since 2010's Fable III. Lionhead Studios, the development team behind the beloved fantasy series, was closed in 2016 after a series of failed spin-offs, shuttering many fans' hopes for a new Fable release. This changed with the reveal that a new Fable game was being developed by Playground Games, although there is no set release date for this title.
Fable might have a slightly better chance of being on the receiving end of this treatment for a few reasons. One of the biggest factors playing into this decision is surely marketing and increasing visibility for a franchise getting a new installment. As Microsoft ramps up to reveal more about the next chaper of the Fable story, it stands to reason that the company would want to make a move that reminds gamers why they loved the games to begin with.
Once this mystery franchise is revealed, fans will be left wondering just what kind of changes and upgrades will be made to these older games. The Master Chief Collection, once its kinks were worked out, offered up a worthwhile way for both series veterans and newcomers to experience these classic games, so this upcoming remastered collection will have to do the same .
