After 16 years, Fable is finally returning. Playground Games and Xbox Game Studios announced that the new game, now just called Fable, will launch in autumn 2026 on Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PS5. This is the first time a Fable game will come to a PlayStation console.
The new Fable is a fresh start. You begin as a tourist with a dream of attending the Horizon Festival in Albion. You are not a hero yet, and you have to explore the world, meet people, and make choices that affect how others see you. The game brings back the morality system but in a more natural way, where every action has consequences.
The world is alive. NPCs have daily routines, personalities, and opinions. Albion is full of villages, forests, and cities that feel real. Playground Games focused on making the world feel alive, not just beautiful. The game also keeps the classic British humor fans love.
You can explore freely, meet characters, and make your own story. The game also has new systems for progression and collection, letting you track your discoveries and experiences as you go.
Fans have waited a long time, and now we finally know it’s coming later this year.
