“It better not be” Rumors of Microsoft’s Fable being delyed due to GTA 6 release window has shocked gamers

Fable is an IP that has been absent in the gaming space for decades, and now that it is so close to coming back, it might be getting delayed again due to being so close to the release of another important game within the space.

Grand Theft Auto VI is a game that has been on the tip of everyone’s tongue for years now. People have been waiting for it for years, going through several delays and leaks. It is going to be the single most important release for gaming in this decade.

So it is natural that any other video game currently looking for a release window would try to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI. It has happened before when the game was previously slated to release last year, and now it seems to be claiming its first victim again, Fable.

Everyone wants to avoid the GTA VI release window

The supposed report comes from industry insider Jeff Grubb on an episode of Game Mess Mornings. According to him, the game may have been ‘internally delayed’ in order to avoid Grand Theft Auto’s November release window.

Fable is currently set to release in the Autumn of this year, and there has been no official word if that is changing yet. One thing is for certain, which is the fact that almost all of the media coverage will be focused on Grand Theft Auto VI around its release.

The developers of the Forza franchise are the ones helming the development of this new Fable, all while also looking after the next entry into the popular racing game series. From the last few previews, we can rest assured that Fable is in great hands, and there are a lot of fans eagerly waiting for it.

Fable may still be released in the autumn of this year

Overall mood in Social media has been kind of disappointing after learning that one of the most anticipated Xbox titles for the year could be delayed once again. Fable was originally scheduled to launch in 2025, but that got pushed to the present date.

Some of the users have now been wishing that the game be released earlier than the proposed release window so as to avoid GTA VI as well as make players happy. Although it seems like nothing of that sort is happening. According to the original Fable social media account, the game is still set for its proposed release window.
