Control lead writer joins Fable team

'Control' writer Anna Megill has joined the 'Fable' writing team.

Megill - who also worked as the narrative lead on 'Dishonored: Death of the Outsider' - is now part of Playground Games and will be moving to the studio's base in Leamington Spa, England.

In a lengthy Twitter thread, she wrote: "So, I’ve been dropping hints about moving on to a new project for a while now. And I wanted to finalize the details before announcing anything.

"But now that my visa is approved (yay!) and my travel arrangements made, I can finally tell you... I’m thrilled to say that I start work at @WeArePlayground next year. I’ll be Lead Writer on Fable.

"Fable holds a special place in my heart. It came out the year I started in gamedev, and its the first game I played with a developer’s eye.

"I loved understanding the how and why of my story choices and seeing the impact I had on the NPCs around me (sic)"

Despite her love for the series, she admitted to having concerns over the franchise's humour.

She explained: "But even so, I wasn’t sure this new Fable was right for me. I was like “Is this going to be just a bunch of medieval fart jokes?”

"But the team’s story vision reassured and excited me. It’s a PERFECT fit. I can’t wait to get started.

"I’m going to live in an English country cottage and write fairy tales, you all. Twelve-year-old me would die of happiness if she knew. (sic)"
