Developer Lionhead Studios announced today that Fable Legends is delayed to spring 2016, as usual, the decision for the delay was mainly to give additional time to the team to polish the game and ensure that the Fable standards are met when the beta opens to the public.
Currently Fable has been undergoing a closed beta testing, which developer Lionhead Studios has stated that they are going to be adding an additional 100,000 players to the closed beta over the next few weeks; if you are interested in signing up for the beta, you can do so at FableLegends.com.
The game will be released to Xbox One and Windows 10 and the game will feature cross-platform multiplayer between Microsoft Windows and Xbox One. It was also stated by developer Lionhead Studios that DirectX 12 will also be added to the game upon release.
“Fable Legends is coming together well and it’s a lot of fun. But we think that we can make it even better. So we’ve decided to extend our closed beta to continue to listen to feedback from our players and add features and polish that will make a real difference. This means Fable Legends won’t release into open beta this holiday as previously announced. We realize this may be disappointing for those of you not currently playing, so we wanted to tell you why.
To be honest, we didn’t anticipate just how big Fable Legends is becoming. It’s simply the most ambitious game we’ve ever created at Lionhead. We’ve built a unique and innovative multiplayer experience combining RPG and RTS gameplay which allows you to play, and use your gear seamlessly, across Xbox One and Windows 10. On top of this, we’ve built a beautiful new world full of grand stories and adventures. And it’s taking more time than we thought.
The team is working exceptionally hard and we’re proud of how far the game has come. We’re operating our closed beta 24/7 and have added lots more features, quests, creatures, and heroes to play. Hundreds of thousands of fans have participated in the beta so far, and we can’t wait to open it up for all of you to play. To achieve our aspirations for Fable Legends, we’ve moved our open beta release to spring of 2016. So to all of you who have been playing in our closed beta, and to all of you who have been waiting patiently for the game to release into open beta, we want to thank you on behalf of everyone at Lionhead.”
