What Fable is

Fable is an unreleased adventure game in development at Playground Games, currently scheduled for 23 February 2027. It was published by Xbox Game Studios. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on ForzaTech. It carries an ESRB M (Mature 17+) age rating.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Fable begins with the player character as a child in Albion. The character discovers heroic powers early in life. After a time jump, players continue as the adult hero in their home village of Briar Hill. A stranger turns the hero’s grandmother and the village to stone, prompting the hero to leave and investigate what happened. Players can travel freely across the map, including southern villages and northern regions. Key locations include the capital Bowerstone, which contains Fairfax Castle and the Heroes’ Guild. The Heroes’ Guild appears as a point of interest in the early story. The setting is described as a fairy tale world rather than a traditional fantasy game. This version of Fable…
Description from the publisher · source

How it plays

It is played from a third person perspective. Its themes are action, fantasy and open world. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for AMD Ryzen 5 2600 / Intel i7‐6850K, 12 GB RAM and AMD Radeon RX 6600 / Nvidia RTX 5050 / NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 / Intel A580. A 12GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. It also needs around 135GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
