Phil Spencer, the CEO of Microsoft Gaming, is known for being one of the few gaming executives who actually plays games. Recently, he shared that he had the opportunity to play unreleased versions of two highly anticipated games – Fable and Everwild. This revelation came after he visited Xbox’s UK-based studios, including Playground Games and Rare.
During his visit to Rare, Spencer spent time with the developers at their desks and got a chance to play Everwild. This game, which was announced five years ago, has been shrouded in mystery. While the last trailer hinted at co-op gameplay and interactions with majestic creatures, details about the genre and gameplay experience remain unknown. The game is rumored to have undergone a reboot mid-development, but it seems to be progressing well.
Playground Games also welcomed Spencer and had discussions about both Forza Horizon and the upcoming Fable reboot. The new Fable game, set to be released next year, promises to be a stunning open-world experience with changing seasons and dry British wit. It seems like a perfect match for Spencer, who clearly enjoys getting hands-on with games.
Spencer’s involvement in playing these unreleased games showcases his genuine interest in the gaming industry. It’s refreshing to see a gaming executive who is actively engaged with the games being developed under his leadership. With these sneak peeks into Fable and Everwild, gamers can start to get excited about what these titles will offer when they are finally released.
