Fable III Does Not Mark the End of a Franchise, says Molyneux

Posted October 18, 2010 by Ben Strauss

Fable III is about a week away from release, but it's not likely to be the last in the popular RPG franchise. Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux wants it to be known that the game is certainly not the last to come.

Speaking to Gamerzines, Molyneux made sure to reiterate that Fable will not end simply because this is the third title in the series. “Forget about the word ‘trilogy.’ I hate limiting ourselves to a trilogy,” he said. "I want you to feel that you're on a journey in Fable, and I'm not going to tell you what happens at the end of Fable III but I don't think you'll feel in any way that you've reached the end of a trilogy."

He did not state that another Fable was already in development though, but the ending of Fable III is definitely meant to offer several storylines open for continued exploration.

The Fable franchise has sold over 6.5 million units worldwide. Molyneux said earlier this year that he's aiming for 5 million units sold and $150 million in profit for Fable III.
