During the Xbox Games 2026 broadcast, publisher Xbox Game Studios and developer Playground Games released a new story trailer and announced that Fable will launch on February 23, 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store. It will also be available on Game Pass. The trailer reveals more characters and the game’s villain. The game was notably delayed from its previously announced Fall 2026 release window.
The game’s details:
Become the Hero you want to be in an immersive open-world action–RPG where each choice shapes your journey, reputation is everything, and fairytale endings are never guaranteed.
Key Features
A New Beginning for a Legendary Franchise – Fable returns in a stunning reboot of a beloved franchise. As the first Hero in a generation, explore a living Albion filled with peculiar characters, dark humour, and chickens… lots of chickens. This isn’t just nostalgia—it’s a new beginning set in a beautifully vibrant open world.
Be the Hero You Want to Be – Customize your Hero’s appearance and wield powerful weapons as you weave melee, ranged, and magical combat. Take on bandits, beasts, and creatures—including brand-new enemies and fan-favorites like Hobbes, Balverines, and Trolls. Your power grows right alongside your reputation.
Build an Extraordinary Life – Beyond all the combat lies a living world where you can carve your own identity. Get filthy rich as a landlord or blacksmith, romance a villager (or three), have a bunch of kids, and watch as your reputation precedes you. Being a Hero is a bit like being a celebrity… if celebrities carried swords and occasionally battled giant fire-breathing chickens.
Your Choices Change the World – In Albion, a Hero’s reputation is everything. Your noble deeds and questionable decisions affect your relationship with each villager and can even shape the world around you. Whose opinion matters most? The choice is yours… and so are the consequences. It’s up to you to decide what it means to be a Hero.
Fairytale ending not guaranteed.
