When will Fables be released?

[Vainamoinen]

Sooo... this is a mod thread right now?

[Hero1]

I'm still sticking with my theory..in a recent interview with one of the walking dead game designers (about a month ago) they said the Fables team was itching to get their game out there.. They may not have a full green light with huge numbers on the team for launch but surely, pre-production, main storyline for 5 episodes fleshed out, concept artwork, art style, all this stuff should be done by now.

I agree, definitely, and like I said they probably already have an episode one prototype up and working already (and possibly more, depending on how close they are to releasing it). You can't do a whole game with a small team, but you can definitely do the basics .

Yay! That's reassuring.

[Arsun97]

Didn't know about TellTale at all before The Walking Dead, and now I'm a big fan, so I'm probably gonna give this game a go!

[Keupajer]

When do you think, that we can expect this game?

And yes I'm interested to. If nothing else, it is good intertainment while wating for the first announcement of TWD S02

[Zeruis]

Maybe in January 2013?

[magodesky]

So now that TWD is done, should we start a Fables Episode 1 release date guessing thread?

I'm hoping for January 2013, but I don't know if that's just me being optimistic. Does anyone remember how much of a gap there was between Telltale's previous titles?

They gotta get something out for Christmas. As I've said before, The Walking Dead isn't very Christmas-y.

You tell 'em!!

[KCohere]

If we got ep 1 before Christmas, which probably is super optimistic, I would be happy. Im just as excited to play Fables. Its one of my favorite comic series.

[Vainamoinen]

The first thing that will have to happen is the Fables forum to rise to the top of the forum list, banning TWD to second place. As soon as THIS happens, big announcements are probably just around the corner.

[Keupajer]

Are you sure, that they won't need a bigger gap between seasons?

As far as I can tell, TWD was almost 6 months after Jurrassic Park..? I could ofcause be wrong

[Vainamoinen]

TWD started five months after Jurassic Park...

but seven episodes of Law & Order were between.

December release: not likely.

[Keupajer]

Thanks for clearing that up

So Vain. If we look at the time between games (historically), how much time will we be wating on the first episode of fable..? Are we talking 1, 2 or even 3 months?

Not Vain, but if it helps, here's the past wait times between the end of one Telltale game and the beginning of another.

-Seven months between Sam and Max Save the World and Sam and Max Beyond Time and Space.
-Four months between Beyond Time and Space and Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People.
-Three months between Strong Bad and Wallace and Gromit.
-Tales of Monkey Island is a weird case, as Episode 1 was released three weeks before Wallace and Gromit ended.
-Four months between Tales of Monkey Island and Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse.
-Four months between The Devil's Playhouse and Back to the Future.
-Five months between Back to the Future and Jurassic Park.
-One month between Jurassic Park and Law and Order: Legacies.
-One month between Law and Order and The Walking Dead.

Four to five months seems to be the norm.

Of course, there was also the Puzzle Agent games, Poker Night at the Inventory and Hector: Badge of Carnage in there too, but they were shorter series/one-offs.
