A new Fable title has been announced for the Xbox Series X during tonight’s Xbox Games Showcase.
We’ve know that Playground Games has been working on a fantasy title for some time now, with rumors circulating about a Fable title in the works. Well good job rumormongers, because Fable is now officially confirmed for the Xbox Series X and Windows 10. Get a look at magic forest and pixie-devouring toads in the first Fable trailer below:
Along with the traditional fantasy world, the trailer is keen to emphasise that the series’ sense of humor hasn’t gone anywhere. Here’s what the official blurb has to say:
“Fable returns with a new beginning for the legendary franchise. Explore a land of fantastical creatures and wondrous places. “
That means this new game is effectively a reboot for the series, though it’ll likely be trying to rekindle the love many players hold for the original title, while bringing in the best elements from Fable 2 and 3 as well. We expect a new take on the good and evil systems of the previous titles to take center stage as you forge a story for your protagonist.
