It’s the most exciting part of the job for me. In comics the story is only told when the script and art are combined, so, even having written the entire thing, the story is still at least half a mystery to me, until I see what Mark Buckingham and Steve Leialoha do with the art. For the record, they are knocking it out of the park. They're knocking it so far out of the park that it's soaring over the next six parks to boot. Some great stuff is on the way for which you can thank these incredible artists I get to work w

The B.O.S.S. is an optional challenge that Team Snakemouth can take on in the Bee Kingdom. Players can replay any boss they previously fought, but the real challenge lies in completing the full boss rush or mini-boss r

Playground Games shouldn't rush Fable, of course, but it also can't afford to take forever to release the reboot. There's big next-gen competitors on the way that the old school Fable will have to stand up to. Obsidian Entertainment, often acknowledged as a master of RPGs, has Avowed coming to Microsoft platforms down the line. Elden Ring is sure to be another competitor to Fable whenever it releases, drawing in fantasy fans who prefer darker tones. As much as the Fable IP deserves a comeback, the near future is also a difficult time for it to do so. One of the best ways it can undercut these competitors is by coming out ahead of them if possi

I do hope readers will consider reading the stories that have gone before, because I believe they tell an entertaining (if sprawling) story. But all along the way the Fables series has been broken into smaller stories, so that readers don’t have to be intimidated by every other Fables book out there. One advantage new readers will have, if they do want to read the other Fables books, is that we’ve recently launched our Fables Compendium editions, which collects all of Fables so far into four big books. And these were published having corrected many mistakes and typos that have existed in previous editions, finally taking care of some nagging errors I’ve been wanting to correct for years – for decades, in fact. This really is the best time to start on Fables, if you haven’t alre

Ideally, that won't slow the Adventure Game cheats down too much. Playground Games isn't a big enough studio to have a ton of projects to manage at a time, so it'll ideally be pretty focused on releasing Fable on time. On the other hand, if it's going to be more than a year or two before Fable comes out, then it seems like the game should've stayed a secret for now. Fable 's drought has been so difficult and protracted that it needs to come out soon and hit the ground running. It's facing too much competition from other fantasy RPGs to linger in a long development and make its fans anxi

What separates Bug Fables' Cave of Trials from the Pit of 100 Trials is its length. The Cave of Trials is much less arduous than the Pit of 100 Trials, covering only 50 battles instead of 100. Nevertheless, this is still one of Bug Fables' toughest challenges and players should be well-prepared. Rumors tell of a special secret boss at the end of the Cave, but that is a discovery that only the most dedicated of explorers can f

BW: It may not be for me to say, but yes, since you asked, it is the best of all possible DCU/Fables crossovers, in my not very humble opinion. I’ve wanted to have these two characters meet for years, and finally got to write it. I don’t know if you could call it a dream come true, but it’s certainly a longstanding ambition come t

**SR: The idea of these two telling a Detective story is easy enough to grasp, but where is the line drawn between Bigby putting one foot into Gotham City, versus Bruce Wayne taking a step into the realm of Fables

Taking the body of his daughter, the Stand returns, plunging her young fingers into and through the skin of his neck before giving him a challenge that can, possibly, save his life. Flick a piece of popcorn high into the air, above the nearby streetlights, and then catch it in his mouth, three times in a row. Failure results in him losing his head. He fails, but that’s not really the point here: what fascinated me was the popc

When looking at the houses and military buildings in Aurora from a distance – or from the Sanctuary map – fans may notice that many of them look just like boots! This may be a way to indicate how poor the region is (i.e. living in a sh

The current system for gearing up for a delivery in Death Stranding already feels like it's been stripped straight out of MGS5 , with a blank void to prepare weapon, vehicle, and additional equipment loadouts. It's a great way for players to get ready for missions and adventures through Metal Gear Solid 's open world , and translates perfectly into attempting to travel through dystopian America. However, one benefit that MGS5 has over Death Stranding in this way is that the player has more control over what they can bring thanks to the ability to research and develop their own g
