I think Fable Legends will be the last in the series and Lionhead Studios will be gearing up to unlesh a new IP with either a short teaser at next years E3 or a more indepth one at the following years. Also expecting a new IP to be announced at gamescom by Twisted Pixel which im really looking forward to finding out.

I hope so. The new Fable will probably flop. I think MS needs to also give Forza a break. Perhaps tell Turn 10 to make a kart racer or something else. 

I'm actually lookign forward to Fable Legends but I agree it may somewhat flop, Theese days metacritic can really undervalue older IP sequals and it does effect sales, I think Forza even though its yearly Horizon and Motorsport are 2 different games making it more of every 2 years per game just under the same IP's name. Some sort of kart or pod racer could be fun as a side project but in the end they will just get called for "copying".
