Xbox’s Fable reboot will come to Xbox Series X/S and PC next year

After years of teasing its arrival, Xbox has finally announced a release window for the upcoming Fable reboot. The game is slated to hit Xbox Series X/S and PC in 2025, and will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one. The company dropped a new trailer during the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday. Fable, which is being developed by Playground Games, was first announced with a teaser back in 2020.

Xbox is billing it as a new beginning" for the series. The new Fable focuses on a washed-up ex-hero named Humphry, who we see in the latest trailer. He'll be forced out of retirement when a mysterious figure from his past threatens Albion's very existence." In our last glimpse at the game, released during last year's Summer Game Fest, we were introduced to a character named Dave, who is voiced by Richard Ayoade. The new trailer gives us a bit more of a look at some in-game footage and doubles down on the offbeat tone of the previous teasers.

We'll still have to wait a while for it to actually be released, but at least now there's a timeframe we can cling to.
