A four-minute look at the Deepwood
Playground Games released a new four-minute gameplay video for Fable on 12 November, part of Xbox's 25th-anniversary celebrations. The footage follows the main character and Arden, described as a local hero, into the Deepwood forest to find out why strange magical events are troubling the people of Oakshire.
As the pair explore the dark forest, whose magic appears to have been corrupted by an outside force, the video offers hints about who is responsible. Playground says the material was recorded from a build still in development and captured on a PC with graphics set to Ultra.
Combat switches between steel, spells and bows
The mission leads the two characters into a cave system, where parts of the combat system are shown. Fable uses real-time fighting in which players can switch quickly between physical attacks, magic and bows. One ability on display teleports the protagonist directly behind opponents.
The clip ends on a darker note, with the player approaching an unknown object drawn by a voice that only the protagonist seems to hear. Playground has not said what the object is or how it fits into the story.
A crowded February 2027
Fable is set for release on 23 February 2027 on PC and Xbox Series X|S. MeuPlayStation reports that the game could have arrived this year but that Playground chose to avoid GTA VI.
The new date puts Fable in a busy window: Persona 4 Revival, Metro 2039 and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis are among the titles also scheduled around the same period, according to MeuPlayStation.
