Fable arrives on February 23, 2027 from British developer Playground Games and publisher Xbox Game Studios, ushering the beloved fairytale action-RPG franchise into a vibrant open-world era across Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Steam. Set once more in the enchanted, sharp-tongued realm of Albion, the reboot blends lush medieval fantasy with unmistakable British satire.
The Fable franchise traces its origins to 2004, when Lionhead Studios launched the original Xbox classic defined by moral choices and whimsical British folklore, followed by acclaimed sequels in 2008 and 2010. Working from its creative studio center in Leamington Spa near London, United Kingdom, Playground Games reimagines Albion from the ground up with rich storybook villages, enchanted forests, and bustling medieval towns.
Powered by Playground Games' bespoke adaptation of the ForzaTech engine, Albion bursts with sunlit wildflowers, cobble-stoned royal capitals, treacherous swamps, and fluid third-person combat combining swordplay, acrobatic dodges, bows, and destructive arcane spells.
True to Fable's heritage, what it means to be a Hero in Albion is constantly up for debate. Alongside Richard Ayoade and Matt King's retired hero Humphry, players navigate branching decisions, villager gossip, heroic fame or infamy, and irreverent side quests steeped in British wit.
Scheduled for February 23, 2027 across Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC (Windows & Steam), and day-one on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Fable delivers native 4K console visuals, PC ultrawide support, and comprehensive multilingual subtitles worldwide.
Scheduled for release on February 23, 2027 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, launching Day One on Xbox Game Pass. Exact digital storefront unlock hours TBA.
