Playground Games has certainly gone in a different direction from Forza Horizon with its upcoming Fable reboot, but we're totally here for it. As part of the Xbox Games Showcase, the British developer gave us another fresh look at the title - featuring all the snarky humour you'd expect from the series.
More than that, Fable has an actual launch window! Yep, the team's new Xbox Series X|S reboot lands on Xbox Game Pass in 2025. Here's what you can expect to explore in this big old open-world RPG:
"What does it mean to be a Hero? Humphry, once one of the greatest, will be forced out of retirement when a mysterious figure from his past threatens Albion's very existence. A new beginning to the legendary franchise arrives 2025.
What do you think to this latest look at Fable? Give us some snark down in the comments below.

I need this now. The show just keeps getting better!
Where is this humor you speak of? Wasn't in the trailer i saw.
@LX_FENIX was probably just the peep show voice actor making everything in my head sound funny 😆
@Kezelpaso A more than fair point 😂
Are we now counting an entire year as a 'release window'??
@Kezelpaso was that Hans??
As long as Fable stays Fable, I'm happy.
Please have a create a character option. I will never play it if I have to play as that.... person.
@Dimey word has it there will be no logos in any foam... 😆
One of many games that I though looked great
I don’t think they can pull it off.
@KonstantTrouble I get that. I was insulted by two... people on the chat for saying that white men no longer exist (obviously, as a joke). We all should be part of the society, that doesn't mean that I need to change and that I should be insulted because I'm myself. Not every game and gamer has to be the same thing now and be changed for the sake of it. I really love Fable and I want Fable to be Fable, humour and everything. Otherwise, it's not Fable and there are tons of games these days. Fable is one of the most immersive games that I've played and I expect its essence to be respected. Same for Perfect Dark and Joanna (a girl). It's like asking Microsoft to replace Joanna with Doomguy.
@Kezelpaso He's accidentally run to Albion.
Goes to show last years trailer did show a true to life in game art style and gameplay 😂 This looked phenomenal! Sure to be a locked in Developer Direct showing in January and cannot wait to see more and hopefully an exact release window.
So is this player character cemented in then or will I be able to play as a guy too if I want? I just want choice available.
100% interested if it has character creation. 0% interested if not.
@KonstantTrouble me either. i take the mc as a troll move by the devs.
Is the bottom half on me on fire?
It's definitely pretty for sure but...I don't know. Something still feels a bit off about it. I can't put my finger on what is but I'm not totally sold yet. Maybe a proper gameplay demo would do the trick.
Historically Fable has no character creator, only a selection of female or male. It is always your actions in the game (alignment and development) that change your character's appearance.
I doubt that will be different in this entry, given that's one of the most iconic traits of the series.
That aside, I don't understand anyone complaining about the appearance of the character that has been used on screen so far.
Something smells off, waiting and see what game they actually release
