Xbox’s new Fable game is coming in 2025

Microsoft is officially putting a release window on Fable, which is now set to arrive at some point in 2025. After an initial trailer at last year’s Xbox summer showcase, today, we got to see some early gameplay.

The new footage was mostly focused on the characters and story of the fantasy game. Fable will be centered on a hero named Humphry, who “will be forced out of retirement when a mysterious figure from his past threatens Albion’s very existence.” It appears that choice will once again play a big part in the experience, though not a lot of hard details have been revealed about the game just yet.

Playground Games — best-known for the Forza Horizon series — is the developer behind this latest installment of Fable, which will be the first new Fable game in more than 14 years. Fable III debuted on Xbox 360 and PC in 2010.
