Fable director says they aren't 'scared of other big games' except one—it's GTA 6, in case you were living under a rock

Within the gaming industry, studios often take measures to avoid competing directly with major releases like Grand Theft Auto 6. Fable's director, Ralph Fulton, revealed this strategy when the game was pushed back to 2027 to escape the crowded launch window. While other games were postponed or released around the same time, Fulton expressed his satisfaction with the decision, stating that he was eager to release Fable this year.

Although the launch period included numerous other high-profile titles, such as Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Blood of Dawnwalker, Star Wars games, Marvel's Wolverine, Control Resonant, Gears of War: E-Day, and Phantom Blade Zero, Fulton acknowledged that Grand Theft Auto 6 was the primary reason for the delay. The director emphasized that Fable is a competitive game, but they maintain high standards and are willing to face other big games head-on.
