Just last week, Square Enix held a Dragon Quest- centric live stream celebrating the series' 35th anniversary where it officially announced Dragon Quest 12: The Flames of Fate . It's been known since 2020 that Square Enix has been working on a follow-up to Dragon Quest 11 , but now it's received an official title. Because of its announcement last week, it's unlikely that Dragon Quest 12 will get any time at Square Enix's E3 showcase . The games it has confirmed to be showing include Babylon’s Fall , Life is Strange: True Colors , Life is Strange Remastered, and Marvel's Avengers . Unfortunately, Dragon Quest didn't make the list it se

News of a Switch port of Warhorse Studios' popular action RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance will have pleased some, but it's far from the sequel announcement that many had been hoping for. Rumors of a new Kingdom Come game have been floating around for a while now and intensified in the week leading up to E3 following a tease by Koch Me

Fans have been clamoring for a true sequel to Mario's debut outing on the Switch for years now, but, as of the moment, Nintendo has remained tight-lipped regarding the future of everybody's favorite Italian plumber. An announcement at E3 2021 was always unlikely, but, with a new version of the Switch seemingly imminent , it could still happen before the year is

Let’s also remember that Fable 3’s dog companion extends far beyond the contemporary "Can you pet the dog?" phenomenon that seems to have been adopted as a marketing tactic for new and upcoming games. In Fable 3 you can teach your dog tricks, and 30 seconds later it will rip an enemy’s throat out. This disparity is par for the course for Fable 3, which is a game that seems to have amassed every existing genre into its massively hodgepodge makeup. Fable 3 is The Sims. Fable 3 is Dishonored. Fable 3 is Grand Theft Auto. You can use your magical affinity to protect innocent people from hordes of vindictive monsters, or you can pump the rent prices in Aurora up so high that people can’t even afford to buy vegetables in the worst place on earth. You can marry someone, absorb their assets, and then file for immediate divorce. They won’t be happy about it, and the game’s morality system will have its due impact on you — but you can do it. It’s a life simulator, a fantasy RPG, a tycoon management game, a rom-com, and every single thing in between. Sometimes it’s too much — how do you even begin to reconcile all of that in a coherent way? But most of the time it’s actually genuinely smart. It’s just not Fable 2, and people — including 14-year-old me — hated that.

Aside from Halo , it's difficult to think of too many IPs that contributed as much to the early success of the Xbox brand than Fable . Two sequels and a number of remakes and spin-offs have followed in the years since the first Fable game released in 2004. Other than a free-to-play card game in 2017, however, fans haven't gotten a new Fable game in almost a decade now, although there is one in the wo

The game tracks your location but that's not to say that it stalks where you are in the real world but rather where your character is in the virtual one. It does this to allow other players to peer into your world through the form of glowing orbs. When interacted with, gifts can be sent or co-op can be had as you may pull people through to your world to become your bodyguard.

Fable 3 is a weird game to look back on, mostly because it’s largely confined to the Molyneux meme playground. It’s easy to look at it and think of it as the product of, "What if there was a game that had you as the powerful protagonist, which actually focused not on the means of attaining your power, but on the mundane responsibilities that follow it?" Ultimately, that’s a huge part of what Fable 3 is. It’s not a headlong rush to a climactic battle where the good guys win. It’s not about slaying a dragon with your level 100 magical sword. In a lot of ways it’s actually quite tricky — its inherent humor almost encourages you to be as cheeky as possible, Personalized Gaming Experience and you reckon you can swindle everyone into helping you defeat the Big Bad at the end of the game. But that’s not the end of the game, and nobody really cares that you saved the world because you fleeced them to do it.

Another game that's had its fair share of development issues, Skull and Bones generated plenty of excitement for its potential appearance at Ubisoft's E3 2021 showcase, but just last month the publisher announced another delay for the project. Because of the timing of the announcement, it seems like Ubisoft wanted to get ahead of the rumors surrounding Skull and Bones ' appearance at E3 and temper expectations. The publisher has plenty of other games to talk about for its show, but it's a shame that it seems its highly anticipated pirate adventure won't be one of them. Skull and Bones has been pushed back to 2022 or 2023, so there's still much to be seen before the game finally relea
