Six years after being announced, Playground Games’ Fable is finally setting its sights on release. As revealed during today’s Xbox Developer Direct, Fable is set to arrive this Fall!

Not only is it releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC, but it’s also coming to PS5 the very same day. 

In case you didn’t know, we posted concept art of the game just a few days ago, and now we have our first official look at gameplay.

Playground Games Offers First Real Look at the Rebooted Fable

In the nearly 12-minute video, we get a fresh look at Playground Game’s upcoming take on the Fable franchise, including an overview of customization, the world, story, and even a glimpse of some gameplay. 

About Fable (via Xbox)

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.

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.

Fable is planned to launch this Fall for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It’ll also be part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for those subscribed.
