In a surprising turn of events, early gameplay footage of the highly anticipated next installment of the Fable series was unveiled during the Official Xbox Podcast. The video provides an exciting glimpse into the game world, showcasing diverse locations, the combat system, various enemy types, and a snippet of a cutscene. Fans were thrilled to see the return of the iconic chicken kick, a beloved feature from the original series.
Previously, the head of Xbox Game Studios announced a delay for Fable, pushing its release from 2025 to 2026. This decision was made to ensure additional polish and refinement, underscoring the commitment to delivering a high-quality gaming experience.
The reboot of this iconic series was first announced on July 23, 2020. However, details have been scarce since then. It wasn't until three years after the initial announcement that it became evident Fable was still in the early stages of development. This prolonged development phase, coupled with the need for assistance from Eidos Montreal to support the main developer, Playground Games, suggests that the project has faced significant challenges. The absence of polished gameplay footage for an extended period further highlights these issues.
