Peter Molyneux has stepped down from his positions at Microsoft and Lionhead studios.
The man responsible for title such as Black and White and Fable will move on to create “something really amazing, scary and brave a new company called 22 Cans.”
“It is with mixed emotions that I made the decision to leave Microsoft and Lionhead Studios, the company that I co-founded in 1997,” he told Kotaku.
“I remain extremely passionate and proud of the people, products and experiences that we created, from Black & White to Fable to our pioneering work with Milo and Kate for the Kinect platform. However, I felt the time was right to pursue a new independent venture. I’d like to thank the team at Lionhead, as well as our partners at Microsoft Studios for their support, dedication and incredible work over the years.”
Microsoft added of Molyneux’s departure: “As co-founder of Lionhead and an integral part of Microsoft Studios, Peter was the creative visionary behind the blockbuster Fable franchise, and one of our most passionate and influential developers for the Xbox 360 platform. He has made an indelible mark on the games industry and we wish him all the best of luck in his future endeavors.”
Molynuex will continue to work on Fable: The Journey as a creative consultant.

Its a brave move to leave that all behind but I don’t see a future for fable no more, hopefully he will come out with something creative like he says but he spoke the same way about each new fable game which is a kiddies game at best! Big up xbigy!!
