Fable fans have been eagerly awaiting a new installment in the beloved franchise since 2010, and it appears that the wait will continue a little while longer. The next Fable game, simply titled Fable, is currently in production, but it’s being developed by Playground Games, a studio known for its racing games rather than fantasy RPGs. Despite this unconventional pairing, the game’s developers have given us a Look into the world of Albion, and it’s clear that the game is shaping up to be an exciting new chapter in the Fable saga.
One of the most significant developments in the Fable series is the game’s release window. While we don’t have an exact release date yet, it’s been confirmed that the game will be coming out sometime in 2025. It’s hard to say exactly when we can expect it to drop, but it’s reassuring to know that it won’t be delayed for another year.
As for the platforms, Fable will be exclusive to Xbox Series X/S and PC, leaving PlayStation users out of the loop. However, Game Pass subscribers will be able to enjoy the game on launch day through the service. This is likely due to Fable’s status as an Xbox exclusive, which is a hallmark of the franchise.
A Still from Fable Game
The game’s trailers have provided a tantalizing Look into the world of Fable, showcasing the series’ trademark blend of humor and fantasy. The first trailer, released in 2023, reintroduced us to the fantastical world of Albion and set the tone for the game. The second trailer, released in 2024, offered a more in-depth look at the game’s mechanics and story, introducing us to a retired hero named Humphry and a mysterious figure who claims to be able to fix the world.
Gameplay-wise, Fable seems to be sticking to its RPG roots, with a focus on swordplay and magic. We’ve seen cinematic takedowns, fireball spells, and even a spell that summons enemies and allows the player to snipe them out of the air. The trailer also implies a strong focus on social interactions, a staple of the series since its inception. While we don’t know exactly how these interactions will work or if the minigames will return, it’s clear that the game is looking to build on the series’ strengths.
One of the most exciting aspects of the Fable trailer is the return of the iconic chicken kick, a beloved feature of the series. It’s unclear whether this will be included in the final release, but fans will no doubt be hoping for its return.
For now, fans will have to wait patiently for the game’s release. Unfortunately, there’s no way to preorder Fable just yet, but as soon as that information becomes available, we’ll be sure to keep you updated. In the meantime, fans can continue to drool over the game’s trailer and speculate about the story and gameplay mechanics. One thing’s for sure – Fable’s long-awaited return is going to be an exciting one.
