At long last, we've finally got a real look at the new, long-awaited Fable game. This comes after three years of radio silence, with nothing but a short CG teaser to go on. Now, we have a better idea of what the game will actually look like, and how Xbox will be reviving this ico🧔nic series after such a long hiatus.
And, uh, the trailer is not what we were expecting. In the two-minute tease, we get a peek at our new hero, what could b꧒e gameplay... and a massive Richard Ayoade. Yes, really. In true Fable fashion, we have a much-loved British celebrity inꦦ a major role. Only this time, he's bigger than ever. Literally.
Check out the trailer below, in all of its daft fantasy glory. A๊nd we really do mean daft.
It's not totally clear where this Fable game fits into the other three mainline entries, or if this even fits in at all. Indeed✅, it seems that the game will just be called Fable, not Fable 4, so this could be a complete reboot. That being said, there's British humour and chicken kicking, so it's very much in the style of the old games, even if it doesn't tie into the lore as much as longtime fans would like.
As promised𝕴 by Xbox in the run-up to today's showcase, this new Fable trailer shows in-engine game footage, which hopefully means it represents what we'll be playing whenever it launches. While the trailer isn't giving us much of a gameplay reveal just yet, we do get a better idea of the tone Playground is going for which as most Fable fans will know, is just as important as how the combat will work.
Fable is being developed by Playground Games, best known for the Forza series. This comes after the studio behind all of the previous games, Lionhead, was shut down by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Microsoft back in 2016, also cancelling Fable Legeไnds. Therefore𝔍, this Fable revival will be the first game in the series since Fable: The Journey in 2012 and the first mainline entry since Fable 3 in 2010.
There had been some fear in the fanbase that this revival would be scrapped, given how long we've had to wait for another trailer after the initial teaser. These fears were only exacerbated by reports that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:development wasn't going particul൩arly smoothly, with the team reportedly struggling to decide which direction to take the game in. There was talk of it being similar to The Witcher 3, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:something which divided the fanbase. Now, it seems that this Witcher influence willꦓ come in other areas of the game - if it's there at all - because we didn't really pick up on that in this teaser.
