Lionhead director says the studio is working on "something new and exciting"

Gary Carr, the man who stepped into the clown-sized shoes of Peter Molyneux, has indicated Lionhead Studios is working on a brand new project.

Speaking to Polygon, Carr suggested the company is finally moving away from Fable titles.

"We always have a few teams kicking around, and a few small teams who branch off and do other things," he said. "You can't just pour everybody onto one idea — that's just not going to [help you] evolve as a studio. So there are a number of things I can't talk about, as you would imagine. But we're a team rolling off a finished title now, and we're rolling onto something new and exciting which I can't tell you about."

Could Lionhead finally move away from their beloved franchise? Now Molyneux is gone, I'd wager they probably will.

Fable: The Journey is scheduled for release on October 8.
