Fable 4: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more | Tech Reader

Fable is still in development for Xbox Series X/S and PC. Sorry, PlayStation users, you will not be able to venture around Albion on your Sony console. Fable has always been one of Xbox’s most revered exclusive games, and being a first-party game, it will be exclusive to its console. Game Pass subscribers will also be able to play it on launch through that service as well.

The first look we got at Fable was little more than a tone-setter and meant to build up some hype. It reintroduces us to this fantastical world, as well as the comedic tones the series is known for.

It wasn’t until 2023 that we saw Fable again, but this time we got a much better look at both the game and the tone. The entire thing was labeled in-game footage but doesn’t show much of what looks to be actual gameplay.

We are introduced to a man named Dave, an apparent vegetable enthusiast, monologuing over the rest of the trailer with some dry humor.

The hero we see is a woman, which could be an option as it was in prior games, or perhaps this time we will be playing as a set character. This is also the first time we hear our protagonist speak, which could imply a more set character.

Gameplay

Swordplay will be a given, including some cinematic takedowns, plus magic like a fireball. There was also a spell that launched up a group of enemies that were then sniped out of the air with a bow.

In terms of enemies, we see a handful of human foes, a look at some kind of werewolf, little goblin creatures, and a big tree monster.

The trailer also implies plenty of social interactions, which has been a staple of the series since the beginning. Again, we don’t see how they will work or if the minigame-style systems will come back.

There’s a fantastic shot of the iconic chicken-kick, so hopefully that will be included in the final release.

There is currently no way to preorder Fable. As soon as that information is made public, we will give you all the details.
