Playground Games Expands with New Studio to Boost Fable Development
 

Playground Games has expanded its operations with the opening of a third development studio in Leamington, England. This strategic move aims to enhance the development of their highly anticipated 2025 title, Fable.

The studio chose a low-key way to share the news, simply updating their LinkedIn description to reflect the growth. The updated profile now notes that Playground has three top-tier studios based in Leamington Spa. In their original headquarters, they continue to nurture and expand the vibrant Horizon community. Meanwhile, the new studios located on the other side of town are dedicated to developing Fable, marking a fresh start for the beloved franchise.

At this point, it remains unclear whether the establishment of the third studio involves redistributing staff from the other two studios or if it entails hiring new personnel altogether.

Regardless of the exact logistical details, the current structure of Playground Games is as follows: The primary offices remain focused on the Forza Horizon series, while the second and the newly formed third studios are committed to the development of Fable. As of now, there is no confirmed release date for Fable, nor are there any updates about the next Forza Horizon game.
