Xbox Game Studios head Craig Duncan has taken to the official Xbox podcast to reveal that Fable has been delayed. It was originally announced that it would release in 2025 but it has been confirmed that it will now release in 2026.
“While I know that’s not maybe the news people want to hear, what I want to assure people of is that it’s definitely worth the wait.” said Duncan.
To make up for the delay, the Xbox Game Studios Head showed off about a minute of pre-alpha gameplay showing everything from exploration to combat to a little cutscene and it definitely looks fantastic.

“Just think of the visuals of what you expect of Playground Games, plus amazing gameplay, British humor, Playground’s version of Albion, so inspired by what’s gone before with the franchise, but their take in quite frankly, the most beautifully realized version of Albion you’ve ever seen.” said Duncan.
It’s likely that we’ll see more from Fable throughout the year and it’s definitely one to be excited about.
