Microsoft: More Info About The Fable Legends Launch Date In “The Coming Weeks”

Microsoft has said that more details about Fable Legends’ official release will be shared in the coming weeks. The free-to-play title is technically available to players if they opt-in to a closed beta and sign a non-disclosure agreement. It was supposed to launch this fall, but as the final days of 2015 wind to a close, it is more and more likely the game will release in 2016.

Speaking with Gameinformer, a Microsoft representative said: "As a service-based title in closed beta, we're always working to make sure that when we open Fable Legends to everyone, that it's a great gameplay experience. We are continuing to expand our closed beta and will have more details to share in the coming weeks."

Another Xbox representative, Aaron Greenberg, voiced similar plans a couple months ago. Speaking to GameSpot, Greenburg said that Fable Legends would remain in closed beta for the forseeable future. "We'll move those titles into full, open beta when they're ready," Greenberg said. "But we don't want to rush that until they're ready. So, at this point, we're staying in closed beta and we'll share more news when we're ready to. But it's been nice to see the initial reaction from fans that have been playing and a lot of demand from more people who want to get in and experience those games."

Fable Legends is expected to release soon for Xbox One and Windows 10.
