What we know about Fable 4 on Xbox Series X, or Fable, as it’s officially known.
Fable 4, or just Fable as it’s officially known right now, is currently in development and it’s one of the most highly-anticipated Xbox exclusives there is, even though it’s something of a mystery. Announced by Microsoft in 2020 after years of speculation, the game is being developed for Xbox Series X, Series S and PC by Playground Games, the Microsoft-owned studio behind the Forza Horizon games. As an Xbox exclusive it’ll also be a Game Pass release on day one. When it’s released, Fable will be the first mainline entry in the Fable series since 2010’s Fable 3 and it’s safe to say that fans are eager to see where the series will go next. That said, at the moment, very little is known about Fable, including its release date. We’re hoping that, with the Xbox Series X now in gamers’ homes, we’ll soon learn more about the game and what kind of adventure we can expect. Here’s what we know about Fable 4 so far, then, with a look at its first trailer and what previous reports have suggested about this new entry in the series. [Update: Phil Spencer has hinted that we could see Fable 4 before The Elder Scrolls 6. Read on to find out more.] The first Fable trailer is above, and it doesn’t reveal much, save for the fact that the game is likely set well before the later entries in the series as we don’t get as much of a sense of a Victorian-style industrial revolution as we did in Fable 3’s setting. No release date or release window has been set for Fable on Xbox Series X yet. As the game skipped Microsoft’s E3 2021 showcase, the earliest we’d expect to see it is the end of 2022 to the end of 2023. At the very least, Phil Spencer has hinted during an IGN podcast that we’ll get it before The Elder Scrolls 6, though that game doesn’t have a release date yet either so there’s not too much to work with there. You’ll probably see it before Elder Scrolls 6 Fable 4 might be a while away but it seems possible that you’ll get to play it before the Elder Scrolls 6, according to Phil Spencer. Speaking during a recent IGN podcast, Spencer touched on the tone of Fable in comparison to Elder Scrolls and upcoming Xbox exclusive Avowed, saying, “Fable’s always been a little more light-hearted and a little more British, I think I could say, and I think Playground will keep it there,” adding, “Elder Scrolls 6 is further out, and when that comes out I think it’s going to be incredible.” Take confidence in Playground Games, says Phil Spencer Fable 4 is being created by Playground Games, the studio perhaps best-known for its work on the Forza Horizon series but Phil Spencer wants fans to have confidence in the studio. Speaking on the Dropped Frames podcast (via VGC), Spencer said: “The only thing I can really say about Fable is, seeing the pedigree of the team and Playground, and where they set the bar for themselves in building a game—I think that showed with the Forza Horizon 5 preview that they had—I think people should just take confidence in that [studio director] Gavin [Raeburn] and the team there have that same level of focus on doing something amazing with an IP that we know is really important to a lot of Xbox fans, so we can’t wait to get to show more, but the team is just amazing.
