Fable gets a new trailer and release date at the Xbox Showcase

A week ago Microsoft announced that Fable was going to be delayed and now we know when it is finally being released, 23rd February 2027. In other words, Grand Theft Auto 6 is still set to launch on 19th November and Take Two aren’t backing away from that date, so they’re trying to avoid that.

The trailer introduces us to “The Hero of Wraithsmarsh, Isabel” who sounds familiar, but I can’t quite place the actress. I

Fable is coming to Xbox Series X|S,  and yes, it’s confirmed that it is still coming to PlayStation 5 and PC all at the same time. Oh, and the top tiers of Game Pass, of course.

You begin the game as a child, growing up in Briar Hill, which is when your heroic powers first emerge, marking you as Albion’s first hero in a generation. But then your town and all its people are suddenly turned to stone by a stranger. You have to venture out to figure out what’s going on.

It’s a huge open world, from Bowerstone and Fairfax Castle to the windswept city of Bloodstone. You can take the game at your own pace, becoming a property mogul, a blacksmith, having children, and all the other things people loved about the original. Playground has created more than a thousand people to populate this this world, getting up, going to work, have hobbies, go to bed, and start it all again. How you treat them and the decisions you make through the story will also feed into a morality system.

Originally announced way back at the start of the generation in 2020, it was three long years before we saw the game next, and then another year after that when the release was set for 2025. But then in February of last year it was delayed to 2026 with Head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan saying “While I know that’s not maybe the news people want to hear, what I want to assure people of is that it’s definitely worth the wait, and I have unequivocal confidence in the Playground team.” Now it’s 2027.
