Do you want to have a major impact on 3 AAA titles in development across 2 beloved Xbox franchises? ForzaTech is the engine, tools, and pipelines that drive both the Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon series of games. In addition to adding new features like raytracing to support the next console generation, we are also enriching the toolset to support an open world action RPG – Fable.

So it's not going to be Unreal Engine after all. Any thoughts on this? Pros/Cons? Posting here for visibility for those who don't use discord.

Seems as though its their own engine and they have been working on it for years it makes sense that its the engine they know inside out and know its capabilities. The detail in the world and that the engine that utilise will bring everything to life, they will just have to expand the toolset to cater for character models and animations more accustomed to RPG mechanics. The game world will be superb however because the engine can create some beautiful scenery.

As much as people wish to believe UE being superior and more developed, I'm actually glad they moved away from it. It is severely limited for what a Fable game needs. Yes UE is capable of nice graphics, we've all seen it, no doubt about that however this news is definitely a game changer. Also means that we might expect other in-house studios to get a hold of that engine for future RPG projects, which in its self is definitely a good thing.

The UE is definitely very pretty looking but I’m not worried about this revelation. The Forza Horizon games always look incredible.
