History Trivia / Fable

* FranchiseKiller: ''VideoGame/FableIII'' was the game that killed the series. Between the more critical reception of it than past games, and growing resentment towards Creator/PeterMolyneux over his LyingCreator nature in the eyes of the gaming sphere, the series never recovered from the third game, being stuck in spinoff titles until ''VideoGame/FableTheJourney'' definitively killed the series for good. Although a new title is in the works, the series, outside of re-releases of older games, has been quiet for over six years.
