First pre-alpha gameplay footage of Fable

A surprise early gameplay reveal of the next Fable installment dropped during the Official Xbox Podcast. The footage offers glimpses of diverse game world locations, the combat system, a variety of enemies, and even a brief cutscene. The classic chicken kick also makes a triumphant 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 shrouded in secrecy until now. Three years post-announcement, it's become apparent that Fable was 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, strongly suggests the game faced significant development challenges.
