Players can also build their own towns in the completely open world, which ties into the main quest (unsurprising for anyone who's played any Fable games), plus the character creator is majorly in depth.

Theresa and the Guild are hiding away on another planet that you can access via a demon door, but if you want you can ignore the entirety of the main quest and never become a hero at all. So now it's down to you to use time travel to save it… we think.

Fable 4: release dateĪn even earlier Fable 4 leak back in 2019 also seemingly revealed that a massive chunk of the gameplay, and core themes, may have changed, including that the game is likely set across multiple planets, and could even involve time travel.Īpparently Albion has been destroyed by an asteroid that got wished into existence by a Mad King who took control of the Tattered Spire, the Will-fuelled tower from Fable 2 that granted the person who controlled it one wish once it was built. The news came courtesy of French journalist (opens in new tab) on Twitter, who accurately predicted the entire Xbox Games Showcase lineup ahead of the stream. Interestingly, though, a rumor did surface back in 2020 that suggested Fable 4 may not be the new RPG entry we were hoping for, but rather an MMO set 'in the world of Fable'. Today was just the reveal of the game, and we're excited to officially say Fable's coming, and we'll share more when we're ready.'

'We're letting them get a fresh start with the franchise and really you can see it's still got the classic British humor that's really true to the franchise, it's obviously going to be a role-playing game, we've got the best folks in the industry working on it. 'To put the Fable franchise - and give it a completely fresh start - in the hands of one of the greatest game developers in the world, and also right there in England with Playground Games, is sort of a dream come true,' said Aaron Greenberg, general manager of Xbox Games Marketing at Microsoft, after the initial reveal.

Fans will be pleased to hear that the next Fable will follow the cues set out by previous games in the main series, with Fable 4 likely set to be another open-world action RPG focused on story and characters.
