Thanks to the Xbox Game Showcase, we have a great look at a lot of upcoming games. With Baldur’s Gate 3 essentially dominating the fantasy genre last year, we now have a look at the next Fable game.
Check this out:
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.
The trailer pretty much follows the format of the last teaser we got for the came which has a character in-game explaining what idea they have of a hero (i.e., the player). Besides the look at the new Humphry character though, we also get a tease for the villain, who could be getting the spotlight in the next preview.
Just for context, here’s the previous Fable trailer with a giant Richard Ayoade:
The first Fable game has released 20 years ago back in 2004 and was met with several well-received games by fans. It was only around the 2010s that a decline had begun with Fable Heroes and Fable: The Journey. There had been multiple attempts to kickstart the franchise again, but ultimately the developers at Playground Games had opted to just reboot the series with the announcement back in 2020.
Now we’re expecting to see the game released five years later. We don’t know what to expect with the new Fable yet, but with Baldur’s Gate setting a gold standard for fantasy RPG, Fable has its work cut out for it.
The Fable reboot is set to release for Xbox Series X|S and PC sometime in 2025.
