Is another Fable on the horizon? Are we going to return to Albion, the land of golden breadcrumb following Heroes? It could be as job ads for Lionhead Studios seek developers experienced with Unreal Engine.

They specifically state these new employees would be an extra shoe in if they had knowledge of 'reimaging' established franchises. Reading between the lines it points heavily toward a new Fable.

Fable Heroes lead designer Ted Timmins has said the "great thing" about Albion, the world of the Fable series, is that it can support virtually any type of game, like a co-op adventure.

XBLA title Fable Heroes has just released. With it they focused on the "combat side and the feel of Albion" in their 4-player hack-and-slash arcade title. Could we see an RTS?
