In a surprising turn of events, early gameplay footage of the highly anticipated next installment of the Fable series was unveiled during the Official Xbox Podcast. The video offered fans a tantalizing glimpse into the game's world, showcasing a variety of locations, an engaging combat system, and a range of enemies. Enthusiasts were thrilled to see a snippet of a cutscene, along with the return of the beloved chicken kick—a nod to the series' iconic humor.
Previously, the head of Xbox Game Studios announced a delay for Fable, pushing its release from 2025 to 2026. This decision was made to ensure the game receives the necessary polish and refinement it deserves. The reboot of this iconic franchise was initially revealed on July 23, 2020, but since then, details have been scarce. Three years after its announcement, it became evident that Fable was still in the early stages of development.
The main developer, Playground Games, sought assistance from Eidos Montreal, indicating the complexity and scale of the project. The absence of polished gameplay footage for an extended period further suggests that the game is facing significant development challenges. Despite these hurdles, the recent reveal of gameplay footage has reignited excitement and anticipation among the Fable community.
