Good Morning CoinDroppers!
Today we're discussing the Xbox Dev Direct showcase and more specifically, our first ever deep dive into Fable. It's been a long time coming and this dev direct has given us at CoinDrop a bit more hope for the reboot of this beloved franchise. We're also going to talk about Outward 2 and Chris' first impressions from the play test as well as Darkhaven. A new ARPG from Moon Beast Games and legends in the ARPG genre. So lets get into it!
In 2020 Fable gave us our first look at a game that got a lot of backlash for its... Interesting choice in character design. Years later, Playground games said "don't worry we totally have a male protagonist if that's your thing too." CoinDrop pressed X to doubt that statement. Well, YEARS LATER AGAIN! We've finally got a peel behind the curtain at Playground games and I gotta say, everyone at CoinDrop had their interest, and dare I say, hope, reignited. Time will tell if Fable can deliver but we wont have to wait long to find out.
The sequel to a game I (Karth) famously was not a fan of when the website was around, is conducting a playtest and Chris got in. Outward is a hard game with zero explanation and from what Chris has to say, its sounds like Outward 2 is more of the same. So if you're a fan of soul crushingly hard games (I see you dark souls fans) then you may have a new title to look forward to on the horizon.
Moon Beast Games originally untitled game Mike and I talked about last year has a name! A new ARPG that's really going to shake things up (fingers crossed) From legends in the ARPG field, Philip Shenk, Peter Hu, and Erich Schaefer all founded Moon Beast Games and this new ARPG has some serious potential to be the follow up to Diablo II we all really want to see. I'm looking forward to seeing more on this game and their kickstarter is coming soon! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/moonbeastproductions/darkhaven-an-action-rpg-with-dynamic-worlds
