Checked his LinkedIn and Fable is his first project. This doesn't instill confidence in me. I hope I'm wrong.
Why couldn't they give this game to more experienced and established people?

A flighting test now makes me very optimistic for a 2024 release.
I'm guessing:

I don't know. MS does. They don't need to grow on trees. They work there.
Why? If one of the most consistent studios out there pitches a project it's best to say yes. The pitch was a win for Microsoft they get a great studio to add a team and makes the purchase that much better. This is not 343 who had issues for years. Playground is like the mailman they just deliver the goods.

Even you examples are 4-5 years and that's assuming that preproduction for sequels didn't started before first one was released.
It's not announced for players but for developers (mainly). It's simply part of hiring proces, especially when your team is new, changing genres or require substantial increase in workforce. In case of Fable also everyone already knew that they are working on Fable, so that was only confirmation of previous rumors.

As someone who disliked, but finished, Fable 1, hated (but finished) Fable 2 and refused to play Fable 3, I find myself hopeful for this game.
It's a new team, that has put out quality games. I just hope they don't feel the need to lean on the bathroom humor of the originals. I good modern AAA adventure RPG could be great.

It's closed testing of the first playable portions/areas of the game, still in a early stages, with the game in a rough state. Made to see if the game goes in the right direction, to see if they spot some major issue, if there is something too frustrating or difficult to understand, etc.
This is normally made years before releasing the game. I think that a 2025 or maybe even 2026 release is likely. I wouldn't bet for a very late 2024 release, but not impossible.
Spider-Man 2 is confirmed to have the lead team from Spider-Man 1. This is one team.
Wolverine is confirmed to have the lead team from Miles Morales. This is a second team.
Then they have the Ratchet: Rift Apart team.
Then they also have smaller team who released AR/VR experiments.
These teams aren't isolated, clearly differentiated tracks: they often help each other or move some people from a team to another as needed in each project. But they have at least 3 games under development at the same time.

this will just be another GAAS , im not interested at all , they can say that you can play single player as much as they want , the game mechanics will be made to benefit the online component of the game
oh and dont forget about this https://boundingintocomics.com/2022...-the-series-forward-for-todays-sensibilities/
so you can forget about all the nasty humour fable once had , you can make jokes as long as you dont insult anyone or any category of people

Forza Horizon where you can get out of the car and play Fable is a dream of mine.

Isn't this supposed to be a big open-world game? If so, I'll say early to mid-2025 for the release.

I´ll believe it when we get official gameplay and at least a rough release date. Until then this will be vaporware.

This is a terrible take lol. He hasn’t done anything relevant in nearly a decade, and tbh even before that was overrated. The last thing he did at Lionhead was the train wreck of Fable: The Journey and the defunct Milo project
Still wild to me that games teased for XSX prior to the launch of the console still aren’t out and won’t be until basically halfway through the gen.

That sounds like better progress than I expected.
It's nice to see an original Xbox ip live on.

It's funny to see someone saying that Miles Morales is a DLC and asking other people to use their brain. Btw, Insomniac also released Ratchet, Spider-Man DLCs and its remaster. Plus supported Nixxes to port its two Spider-Man games to PC.
The Spider-Man Miles Morales team is working on Wolverine, which pretty likely will be released next year.

Their output is consistently great, indeed. Glad they were able to branch out, though I would have liked for them to pitch a new IP instead. I do however understand that jumping from an arcade racer to an action RPG is so big, that you would not necessarily want to tackle the extra difficulties of wrestling with an "unknown" quantity. It makes perfect sense...

Fighting test stage is just one part of a game mechanic by combat designers. This can be done in white box stage (very early stage). It doesn’t say much about the state of the rest of the game because they use test environments for this, and mostly place holder assets.
