We need to see more. This was the reason I got an Xbox back in the 360 days.

Original Story…
The Fable Franchise has had a strong following over the years. We’ve seen the game series make its grand debut all the way back in 2004. But over the years, it finally reached a hiatus, and fans have been waiting for the game franchise to make a resurgence. Fortunately, that time is coming as we know the IP is being worked on once again, with Fable being tossed over to Playground Games.
If you don’t know the studio by name, Playground Games is behind the Forza Horizon series. So this would be a big step out of the usual games they have released into the marketplace. The game reboot was officially announced in 2020 during the Xbox Games Showcase, but details were left a mystery as we were hopeful some new information would be unveiled to the masses during this year’s Xbox Games Showcase event.
Fable fans had been waiting eagerly for any news about the upcoming reboot. Leading up to today’s Xbox Games Showcase, it was all but confirmed Fable would make an appearance. The showcase was teased and hinted that this game would make another appearance, and fortunately, the folks over at Playground Games delivered. While we didn’t get a release date yet, it looks like the studio focused on bringing out the humor and adventure we’ve come to know and love for the Fable franchise.
Our latest new look into the game follows a protagonist as they deal with a giant obsessed with vegetables. Of course, we didn’t get any gameplay action. Still, at the very least, we can expect a heroic journey filled with whimsical characters and fantasy locations that will likely leave us wandering about. Now the question will be just when we get our hands on this game, along with a gameplay trailer highlighting some of the campaigns in action.
With that said, even though we don’t have a release date just yet, we do know that this game will be made available on Game Pass at launch. That’s one of the benefits for subscribers as these massively anticipated first-party Microsoft games would see a launch on the subscription service. In the meantime, if you haven’t already caught the latest trailer for Fable, you can view it in the video we have embedded above.
