X10 Fable 3 Announcement to Make Gamers “Super Pissed Off”

fable3angerThe Lionhead genius, Peter Molyneux, says that during next week’s X10 event, the new Fable 3 features will upset some people when revealed. In an interview with Game Reactor at Game Jam in Copenhagen last week, Molyneux talked about the past, present and future of gaming, and said he would be announcing some Fable 3 news at X10. The game designer not only hint, but rather flat out told his interviewer that he thinks gamers will be “super pissed off” about the Fable 3 reveals he has planned for X10.

“I’m really scared that when I go out and tell people what it is, they’re going to get super pissed off,” said Molyneux. “They really are. But it’s the right thing to do man, I’m sure it’s the right thing to do.”

Molyneux concluded that it’s “the right thing to do,” and confirmed that he will be “demonstrating” the mystery announcement at X10 in San Francisco. Does this mysterious demonstration have to do with Natal? Molyneux had some admirable things to say about the new Microsoft gaming project, describing Natal as a new change with lots of possibilities—but he says it will take a while for people to “wrap their heads around it.”

We’re intrigued to hear what this grand Fable 3 disappointment will be. All we know is that whatever is going to piss people off, Molyneux will demonstrate it at X10. Check out the interview for yourself.

Developer Digital Eclipse is working on a surprising project: Volgarr the Viking 2. The 2D retro sequel will launch on August 6 for PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

The news is an out of left field reveal. The first Volgarr the Viking game released in 2013 and was made as an ode to 1080s classics like Ghosts 'n Goblins. Despite being a small release, it sold over 1 million copies over the past decade. As revealed during today's Guerrilla Collective stream, the series is coming back with a new sequel by Digital Eclipse, the team behind this year's Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story.

3 Days of Play PS Plus games to try this weekend (June 7-9)
Key art for Streets of Rage 4.

June 2024 is shaping up to be a pretty great month for PlayStation players. Not only are we coming off an entertaining State of Play showcase, but a new Days of Play initiative surrounding all the video game showcases this month is bringing a lot of new PS Plus additions with it. Many of those games hit PS Plus this week, and three in particular stand out to us.

For owners of Sony's oft-neglected PlayStation VR2, the first game is one of its rare exclusives that take full advantage of the headset's eye-tracking by seeing how often players blink. The next is a new PS Plus Essential game that's a revival of Sega's classic beat-'em-up series for the modern gaming era. Finally, the last title is an atmospheric and eerie fishing game that should entice fans of Lovecraftian horror.

3 first-party Xbox Game Pass games to try this weekend (June 7-9)
Gears 5 Kait Hero Close Up

Microsoft will hold an Xbox Games Showcase and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct. this Sunday. These shows will provide a much better idea of what to expect from Xbox over the course of the next year or two. That's really needed right now, as Microsoft has struggled to keep online discussions around Xbox positive as it went multiplatform with some games, laid off thousands of developers, and outright shut down the developers of Hi-Fi Rush and Redfall. Based on leaks and my personal expectations for the showcase, there are three games you can play on Xbox Game Pass this weekend to prepare for the event.

The first is the latest first-person shooter in a long-running series by id Software that might be getting a medieval-set spinoff. After that, we have the fifth entry in a sci-fi Xbox series that still looks fantastic on Xbox Series X/S even though it came out in 2019. Finally, you can prepare for Avowed with the latest RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, a satirical sci-fi game where player choice is critical.
