Fable

A fresh start for Albion

Fable is neither a remake nor a sequel: it tells a new story in the kingdom of Albion, with its own continuity. Players create their hero and build a reputation that changes how villagers see them. The official store pages describe an open-world action RPG with plenty of dark humour, where you can also buy property, take up crafting, court villagers and raise children.

Combat and characters

Combat mixes melee, ranged weapons and magic against bandits, hobbes, balverines and trolls. At the June 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio introduced Isabel, the Hero of Wraithmarsh played by Hayley Atwell, and confirmed the return of Jack of Blades and the series’ Demon Doors.

Platforms and editions

Out on 23 February 2027 on PC (Steam and Xbox PC), Xbox Series X|S (Xbox Play Anywhere) and PS5, single player. The Premium Edition gives access from 18 February 2027 and adds outfits, in-game gifts, a digital artbook, the soundtrack and the post-launch expansion Fable: Order of the Hero. Every pre-order includes a chicken costume and three in-game gifts.
