Microsoft cancels Fable Legends, thinking about closing Lionhead Studios

Microsoft today confirmed that it has cancelled Fable Legends and is debating over whether or not to close the studio of its developer, Lionhead Studios.

“After much consideration we have decided to cease development on Fable Legends, and are in discussions with employees about the proposed closure of Lionhead Studios in the UK,” General Manager of Microsoft Studios Europe, Hanno Lemke, said.

“We are committed to working closely with those affected by today’s news to find them new opportunities at Xbox, or partnering with the broader development community to help place them in jobs elsewhere in the games industry should they desire,” Lemke continued.

Our thoughts are with those at Lionhead.
