First pre-alpha gameplay footage of Fable

by Eleanor Mar 18,2025

Completely unexpectedly, early gameplay footage of the next Fable installment surfaced during the Official Xbox Podcast.

The video offers glimpses of diverse game world locations, the combat system, a variety of enemies, and a brief cutscene. Even the iconic chicken kick makes a return!

Previously, the head of Xbox Game Studios confirmed a delay for Fable, pushing its release from 2025 to 2026. The reason given was the need for further polish and refinement.

Announced on July 23, 2020, the reboot of this iconic series has remained largely shrouded in secrecy. Three years post-announcement, it's become evident that Fable is still in its early development stages.

The involvement of Eidos Montreal to assist main developer Playground Games, coupled with the long absence of polished gameplay footage, suggests the game faces significant challenges.
