When we heard that the Fable series was back, many of us took to calling the next game in the series Fable 4. However, as more and more has been revealed about the game, it's become clear that this is not a continuation from Fable 3 - or even from the previous two games.
Now, it's been confirmed by Playground Games that Fable is very much a reboot. An FAQ on the newly launched website for the game sheds some more light on this, explaining that Fable is not part of the original Fable trilogy, so don't expect it to tie in much at all.
