In the world of video game marketing, building intrigue is just as important as making a good game. Major players like Xbox have figured this out, and the official Twitter account for Xbox Game Studios Publishing just made a move that has certainly piqued the interest of fans all over. The tweet is simple but effective, simply claiming it is "excited to kick something special off tomorrow," but it also gives fans a tiny hint as to what that something might be. It ends off by saying it needs a day to "prepare the chickens," leading fans into a frenzy of speculation.
The tweet was sent out by Xbox Game Studios Publishing this morning, but it's already done a great job at building excitement for the announcement. Fans discuss all the possible options of what might be revealed tomorrow, leaning into the mention of chickens as their primary jumping off point.
Briefly scrolling through the replies to the tweet, many are hopeful that the announcement is something related to the new Fable game. While Microsoft is the publisher of Fable, this could actually be bad news for those hoping to see more of the game tomorrow. This is because Xbox Game Studios Publishing is actually focused on publishing third party games. It's much more likely that this reveal has something to do with one of the many third party games that are coming to Xbox in the near future. Unfortunately, that's a huge list, so it doesn't narrow things down much.
At least, that's what most fans assumed until Xbox Game Studios Publishing made a second tweet about tomorrow's reveal. This tweet directly namedrops Fable, also leading fans to realize that tomorrow is the 16th anniversary of Fable: The Lost Chapters. Now fans are feeling even more confident that the reveal has something to do with Fable, although it may be a remake or remaster of one of the original games rather than any news about the upcoming reboot.
Whatever the case may be, fans should keep an eye on the Xbox Game Studios Publishing Twitter account tomorrow, as that is where the announcement will be made. Perhaps the publishing company is teaming up with a developer to remake the original Fable, or the games could be remastered and re-released as a bundle for modern consoles. Hopefully the announcement serves to fill the Fable sized hole in the hearts of Xbox players.
