Playground Games Fable is officially delayed to 2026 after previously being announced for this year. However, some new pre-alpha footage debuted on the Official Xbox Podcast with Xbox Game Studios head Craig Duncan. Check it out below.Though its less than a minute, it showcases casual walking through Albions forests, followed by horse riding. The environments look stunning, but the combat is perhaps the most intriguing aspect. It is very Witcher 3-esque, as rumors noted before, but less twirling and more grounded. Theres even some sharp parrying showcased.The player uses a sword and a two-handed hammer while throwing a fireball. A werewolf-esque creature is visible, which is probably the boss battle Duncan (who called the combat amazing) is alluding to. Theres even a humorous bit where a bear trap is set, and a frying pan of sausages is casually placed on top as bait. And of course, the player can kick chickens if they so desire.Fable is in development for Xbox Series X/S and PC. Its also allegedly coming to PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2.

Photo courtesy of GWLRAIn 2030, College Park will celebrate a century since it became a beacon of Art Moderne architecture and Art Deco interior design at Yonge and College in Toronto.Ahead of this milestone, the buildings owner GWL Real Estate Advisors (GWLRA) is launching College Park 100, an event series and website which will explore the icons past and future as a team of top local architects, heritage experts and urban designers work with the City of Toronto to formalize a design.College Park was originally conceived as a retail landmark akin to the Rockefeller Center in New York City. The Great Depression, however, forced a scaling back of the architects Ross and Macdonalds 30-storey, wedding cake design. In 1977, when the Eaton Centre opened at Yonge and Dundas, the building was abandoned. In 2000, GWLRA took over College Park and worked with ERA Architects to restore and reopen the seventh-floor event space in 2003 as The Carlu.Today, College Park is surrounded by one of the busiest and most populated neighbourhoods in the city. GWLRAs redevelopment plans will include improvements to publicly accessible space behind College Park, and the streetscape along Yonge and College. The company aims to maximize community benefit, enhance sustainability and transit access, provide additional housing, and upgrade the buildings commercial spaces while minimizing disruptions during construction.Toronto-based urban design and landscape architecture firm PUBLIC WORK will revitalize the public space around College Park, with Toronto-based Hariri Pontarini Architects (HPA) as the projects design architect. GWLRA has asked the design team to reference the original vision of architects Ross & Macdonald and create a mixed-use complex at a key node in the city.There is currently no confirmed development plan or timeline, and any future development is contingent on City approval.Our goal is to complete that original College Park vision in a way that makes sense for the Toronto of today, while respecting and preserving the heritage architecture, said Daniel Fama, vice president of development, GWLRA. We want to make College Park a true destination in Toronto. Weve assembled the best minds in the country, and we want to invite the public into their design process to facilitate meaningful dialogue as we prepare to file a formal development application with the City.College Park was originally conceived as a spectacular new centre for Toronto, said ERA Architects principal Scott Weir. Its never quite lived up to that potential. We now have an exciting opportunity to renew the vision of the original architects and create a cultural hub that truly serves the community thats grown up around College Park, as well as Toronto at large.On March 17, 2025, Weir will present the first in a series of free College Park 100 events, Restoring the Lost Vision of College Park: An Architectural Icon That Changed Toronto, in The Carlus Round Room. His talk will focus on the original unrealized plans for College Park, and the role heritage architecture will play in bringing life to Yonge and College. This talk will also allow for the public to visit the venue, which is designated a National Historic Site of Canada.The post Visioning exercise launches for Torontos College Park appeared first on Canadian Architect.

Justin Carter, Contributing EditorFebruary 25, 20251 Min ReadImage via Geometric/Annapurna Interactive.At a GlanceGeometric is the first repeat developer to partner with Annapurna Interactive after its staff exodus in 2024.Developer Geometric and Annapurna Interactive are partnering up once again on a new game in another major partnership. This marks the publisher's first repeat partnership after a surprise staff exodus in late 2024.Annapurna previously published Geometric's 2023 game Cocoon, which was nominated (and won) several end of year prizes, including Outstanding Achievement for an Independent Game at the 27th Annual DICE Awards.During the publisher's latest game showcase, Geometric's audio director Jakob Schmid teased the studio's next project as "unlike anything weve ever worked on before."After co-founder Megan Ellison returned to Annapurna, clashes reportedly ensued between her and then-Interactive studio head (and overseer for it and Annapurna Pictures) Nathan Gary. When a deal fell through that would have seen Gary and other Interactive staff forming a new spinoff called Verset, the entire Interactive team departed.Shortly after the exits, an Annapurna spokesperson told IGN the entire situation was a "baffler," and the company was looking to backfill vacated positions. It also planned to honor deals previously made with partners before the unceremonious split.Meanwhile, the former Interactive staffers appear to have formed a team of their own. In January, the unnamed group took control of various franchises previously owned by Private Division, Take-Two's former label for smaller titles. The Kerbal Space Program series and Game Freak's unannounced title were both said to be included in this deal.Game Developer previously spoke with Geometric about Cocoon: first with co-founder/designer Jeppe Carlsen about the game's various puzzles, then with Carlsen, Schmid, and art director Erwin Kho about constructing a game with worlds layered on top of one another.Read more about:AnnapurnaAbout the AuthorJustin CarterContributing Editor, GameDeveloper.comA Kansas City, MO native, Justin Carter has written for numerous sites including IGN, Polygon, and SyFy Wire.
