And so our story ends: Lionhead has officially closed

Fable makers Lionhead has officially closed.

In March, Microsoft announced it would cancel Fable Legends and that it was in consultation with the Guildford studio over whether to close it or not.

The consultation has ended and Lionhead will officially close.

Microsoft said: "We have reached the decision to close Lionhead Studios. We have nothing but heart-felt thanks for the team at Lionhead for their significant contributions to Xbox and the games industry."

Here is the latest from some of Lionhead’s staff:
