Fatos Principais

  • Playground Games, conhecida pela série Forza Horizon, está liderando o desenvolvimento do novo título de Fable.
  • A prévia de gameplay revelou um retorno a um cenário de fantasia medieval tradicional, distinto dos temas da revolução industrial de Fable 3.
  • Jogadores podem comprar cada casa e negócio no mundo aberto, transformando o herói em um potencial senhorio implacável.
  • O jogo está agendado para lançamento no outono de 2026 e estará disponível em Xbox Series X/S, PC, PlayStation 5 e Game Pass Ultimate.
  • Mecânicas sociais permitem relacionamentos não monogâmicos, incluindo namoro, casamento e ter filhos com aldeões.

Resumo Rápido

Após meio década de espera, a Microsoft finalmente ofereceu uma prévia estendida do aguardado reboot da querida franquia de RPG Fable. Durante a recente apresentação Developer Direct da empresa, a Playground Games compartilhou quase 11 minutos de gameplay e comentários relacionados ao título futuro.

O novo jogo contará com um mundo totalmente aberto para os jogadores explorarem, com locais de jogos anteriores de Fable como Bowerstone retornando. Playground não disse exatamente onde o novo jogo se passa na linha do tempo de Fable, mas a sugestão da filmagem é um retorno às raízes medievais clássicas da série.

Um Novo Herói em Albion

A história começa com o personagem do jogador como o primeiro herói nascido em Albion em uma geração. Como em entradas anteriores, a narrativa começa durante a infância, especificamente na vila de Briar Hill. A jornada do protagonista começa após um estranho misterioso transformar todos os habitantes de sua casa em pedra.

Antes de partir para a aventura, os jogadores podem personalizar seu herói com uma variedade de opções. A suíte de personalização inclui diferentes tons de pele, formatos de cabeça, tatuagens e cicatrizes, oferecendo ferramentas de criação de personagens padrão, mas flexíveis.

Enquanto a entrada original da Lionhead, Fable 3, explorou uma versão de Albion mergulhada no tumulto de uma revolução industrial, este novo jogo parece oferecer um cenário de fantasia medieval mais tradicional. A colocação na linha do tempo permanece um mistério, mas o estilo visual é distintamente clássico.

Combate e Exploração

A filmagem de gameplay revela um sistema de combate que combina armas corpo a corpo, à distância e magia. Os inimigos possuem uma barra de saúde ao lado de um medidor de postura, que os jogadores podem quebrar usando ataques leves e pesados para executar finalizações estilosas.

No entanto, as mecânicas de combate não parecem ser revolucionárias. Julgando pela filmagem compartilhada, o sistema carece da sensação cinética de títulos de estúdios como FromSoftware. Parece ser uma experiência de RPG de ação mais tradicional do que uma evolução técnica do gênero.

A exploração é central para a experiência, com o mundo inteiro de Albion aberto ao jogador. O retorno de locais icônicos promete nostalgia para fãs de longa data, enquanto a estrutura de mundo aberto sugere uma vasta paisagem para atravessar e conquistar.

Sistemas Sociais & Propriedade

Além do combate, a Playground Games está se inclinando fortemente para a simulação social característica da série. Os jogadores podem convidar aldeões para sair, eventualmente casar com eles e ter filhos. Notavelmente, o jogo suporta relacionamentos não monogâmicos, funcionando efetivamente como um simulador de polícula moderno.

O sistema econômico permite que os jogadores comprem cada casa e negócio em Albion. Isso introduz uma mecânica de senhorio onde os jogadores podem controlar o mercado imobiliário em todo o reino.

Os NPCs desenvolverão opiniões baseadas em suas ações. Se você despejar um artista de uma propriedade que você possui, pode encontrá-lo mais tarde na rua, onde ele confrontará você sobre seu comportamento. Este sistema de reação dinâmica adiciona profundidade às escolhas morais inerentes ao jogo.

Estado Técnico & Lançamento

Do ponto de vista técnico, a filmagem compartilhada parecia um tanto áspera. Observadores notaram que a taxa de quadros e o ritmo de quadros não eram suaves, e houve instâncias de ghosting em algumas animações. Espera-se que o estúdio tenha tempo suficiente para polir a apresentação antes do lançamento.

O jogo está agendado para chegar em algum momento deste outono. Quando for lançado, estará disponível em uma ampla gama de plataformas, incluindo Xbox Series X/S, PC (via Xbox e Steam) e PlayStation 5. Também estará disponível no Game Pass Ultimate no lançamento.

A Microsoft anunciou pela primeira vez que o reboot de Fable estava em desenvolvimento em 2020. Após três anos sem uma prévia, o jogo estava originalmente previsto para um lançamento em 2025 antes de ser adiado para este ano em fevereiro.

Olhando para o Futuro

O retorno de Fable marca um momento significativo para fãs de RPG, mesclando locais nostálgicos com mecânicas sociais modernas. A capacidade de moldar o mundo através da posse de propriedades e relacionamentos complexos oferece uma nova perspectiva sobre a fórmula clássica.

Enquanto o polimento visual precisa de refinamento, o loop de gameplay central de exploração, combate e simulação social parece promissor. A mudança para um cenário de fantasia medieval sugere um retorno às origens da série, distinta da era industrial de Fable 3.

À medida que a janela de lançamento do outono de 2026 se aproxima, todos os olhos estarão voltados para a Playground Games para ver se eles podem entregar uma experiência polida que corresponda ao legado da querida franquia.

'The Housemaid': How Sydney Sweeney's scrappy thriller became the $240 million box-office hit no one saw coming

(L-R) Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney in "The Housemaid." Lionsgate "The Housemaid" was a surprise hit at the global box office, earning over $200 million on a $35 million budget. Producer Todd Lieberman explained how the movie became an unlikely success story. A sequel, "The Housemaid's Secret," is already in the works. Christmastime is typically filled with presents at the box office, and 2025 had a sack full of them. James Cameron's big-budget juggernaut "Avatar: Fire & Ash" turned out to be another billion-dollar earner, while the A24 drama "Marty Supreme" found its audience thanks to Timothée Chalamet's hip marketing gimmicks. But while the cultural conversation was occupied by blockbuster blue people and a ping-pong phenom, one R-rated thriller was slowly gaining buzz. What "The Housemaid" lacked in eye-popping visuals and critical cachet it made up for in star power and a racy storyline. Made for just $35 million — a budget nowhere near that of "Avatar" or "Marty Supreme" — "The Housemaid" is adapted from the bestselling novel of the same name and directed by Paul Feig ("Bridesmaids," "A Simple Favor"). It stars Sydney Sweeney as the titular young housemaid with a troubled past, who's hired by Nina (Amanda Seyfried), an eccentric housewife who, along with her husband (Brandon Sklenar), have some dark secrets of their own. The first indication the movie was becoming an unlikely success story was its surprising international performance, earning over $100 million overseas by the first weekend in January. The movie hit its stride this past weekend, crossing the $100 million milestone domestically, giving the Lionsgate thriller a remarkable worldwide total of over $240 million. It's now the biggest hit of Sweeney's career and a bona fide sleeper hit. For "The Housemaid" producer Todd Lieberman, the movie's success was hardly a surprise. From producing past overperformers like the 2010 Oscar-winning boxing drama "The Fighter" to 2017's hit coming-of-age tale "Wonder," he has an eye for modest-budget material that will draw in audiences. "Having a sleeper hit is fun because you know it's not a sleeper, but everyone else thinks it is," Lieberman told Business Insider. Below, Lieberman explains how "The Housemaid" became the latest Hollywood success story. Finding a book before it blows up and optioning it first was key Amanda Seyfried in "The Housemaid." Daniel McFadden/Lionsgate After spending 20 years alongside David Hoberman as the owners of Mandeville Films — whose highlights include the 2009 Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock rom-com "The Proposal" and Disney's 2017 live-action "Beauty and the Beast" — Lieberman went out on his own, launching the production company Hidden Pictures in 2022. One of the first projects he went courting was adapting Frieda McFadden's novel "The Housemaid." "I read the book, and I just fell in love with it," Lieberman said, giving credit to his VP of development, Carly Elter, for passing him the novel. "I didn't see the twist. I felt this is exactly what we're looking for." After learning a major studio was also looking to acquire the book rights, Lieberman brought in Lionsgate, the company's financial partner, for some extra muscle. Eventually, they were able to nab not just the rights to "The Housemaid" but the other two books in McFadden's series, "The Housemaid's Secret" and "The Housemaid Is Watching." Around the time that Hidden Pictures hired Rebecca Sonnenshine ("The Boys") to write the script, "The Housemaid" began having a surge in book sales. "It was taking a trajectory like what we had experienced with 'Wonder,'" Lieberman said, referring to the movie he produced starring Jacob Tremblay as a boy with a facial disfigurement who navigates public school for the first time. The R.J. Palacio book of the same name went on to become a bestseller before the film's release, ultimately boosting the adaptation's popularity to the tune of over $300 million at the global box office on a $22 million budget. It's since been translated into 29 languages. "We could see the book was selling an incredible amount of copies," Lieberman said of "The Housemaid." It, too, would go on to become a New York Times bestseller. But the movie still wasn't greenlit at the studio. So Lieberman and his team put together what he called a "Brag Pack" for Lionsgate filled with data and accolades to up the project's chances, showcasing how many books had been sold, the awards the books were up for, and the groundswell of fandom on social media "The Housemaid" was building. "We were primed at that moment," Lieberman said. Timing was everything — especially when accommodating Sydney Sweeney's schedule Sydney Sweeney in "The Housemaid." Daniel McFadden/Lionsgate By late fall 2024, Lionsgate interest in the project had increased, as Hidden Pictures had signed a director and gotten Sweeney involved to play Millie. But there were also some complexities to navigate. "Sydney had a very limited window to shoot this movie because she had 'Euphoria' that was toggling between certain dates, so she was locked in for a certain amount of time. We had literally 32 days to get this movie done," Lieberman said. With a tight window and another project already in the works that had been greenlit, the director dropped out, which opened the door for Feig, who had been making it known around Hollywood that he wanted to do a thriller. "We got on a Zoom with him, and he had read all the books; he knew it all inside and out," Lieberman said. "But also, he brought a tone to this film that is slightly different than the tone of the book; Paul brought out a release valve of comedy that allows an audience to toggle between gasps and laughs. So he was the perfect director." By October, Feig and Seyfried had signed on, and that was enough for Lionsgate to greenlight "The Housemaid" for a brisk 32-day shoot in New Jersey in January 2025. Facing off against "Avatar" proved to be the secret sauce to box office success Laura Fischer, Todd Lieberman, Paul Feig, Amanda Seyfried, Sydney Sweeney, Brandon Sklenar, and Carly Elter at the premiere of "The Housemaid." Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic/Getty When Lionsgate called Lieberman shortly after production wrapped to tell him it was slating the movie for a Christmas Day release, he didn't feel panicked. Yes, the movie would have to go up against the latest installment of the famously lucrative "Avatar" franchise at the box office — "Avatar: Fire and Ash" was slated for December 19 — but he saw that as an opportunity to shine. After all, "The Housemaid" had strong test screenings. But there was one concern. "This is not a family movie, so how are we going to compete where families are going to the theater?" Lieberman wondered. Thankfully, Lionsgate chairman Adam Fogelson and head of domestic distribution Kevin Grayson made an adjustment, moving "The Housemaid" release date from Christmas Day to December 19. Though it would now have the same opening day as "Avatar: Fire & Ash," it gave the movie some runway to gain traction before the holiday. "That first week served as additional word of mouth and was basically marketing screenings for the movie," Lieberman said. "So once Christmas was over and people had gone to the theaters with their families, our numbers really kicked into gear." Once January hit, "The Housemaid" was overperforming its industry projections, with box office only dropping around 20% over consecutive weekends. What fans didn't know was that Lieberman already had the pieces in place for a sequel. "Everyone who works for me knows I don't talk about sequels," he said. "But I'm going to give credit to Paul [Feig] and his producing partner, Laura Fischer. While we were in post, they said, 'Shouldn't we be thinking about getting prepared for the second one?' I went against my own superstitions, and I agreed we should be prepared. So we brought Rebecca back in, and she turned in a draft that was excellent, and the moment the movie hit a certain benchmark for Lionsgate, we had the sequel." "The Housemaid's Secret" goes into production sometime this year. After years of pulling off unlikely success stories, Lieberman said the most satisfying part of his job is proving that non-blockbuster stories can still pay off. "These are the moments that give me a lot of hope for the moviegoing business," he said. "That people will show up in droves if there's something that feels fun."

Ring claims it’s not giving ICE access to its cameras

Ring video doorbells and cameras are not sending footage to ICE, according to the company. Ring's partnership with Flock is sparking renewed online backlash this week, with influencers calling for people to smash their Ring cameras and claiming the company is part of the surveillance state amid heightened concerns over ICE actions. Flock is an AI-powered surveillance camera company that has reportedly allowed government agencies - including ICE - to access data from its nationwide camera network.
