fable devs admit they delayed to avoid gta 6, main story only 15-20 hours

Saw the Fable devs talking about game length and the GTA 6 mention jumped out at me. They said the main story is around 15-20 hours, with another 15-20 for side stuff and open world exploration. Then the life systems are limitless, so you can play forever if you want.

But the real kicker is why Fable got pushed to February 2027. Originally it was 2026, but Playground delayed it to avoid a "chaotic window." And the GameSpot article literally says we all know that means GTA 6. The devs didn't even try to hide it.

I get it. Rockstar's November 19 date is basically a black hole for any other big release. Nobody wants to launch a game in that window. Fable moving to early 2027 makes sense. They'd get swallowed whole.

What's funny is Fable's main story being 15-20 hours. That's shorter than a lot of people expected for an RPG. But honestly, after GTA 6's extended look, I don't think I'll have time for another massive open world game anyway. GTA 6 is going to eat my entire winter.

Also saw some rough combat footage from Gamescom floating around, but GameSpot's hands-on said it played better than it looked. Not that I care much. Fable can wait. I'll be in Leonida.
