When is the Fable 4 release date? After years of rumours, Fable was finally revealed at the Xbox 2020 Showcase. It will be developed by Playground Games, the studio behind the Forza Horizon series.
There is currently no Fable 4 release date. In fact, according to the reveal trailer, the newest game in the series isn’t called Fable 4 at all. The trailer shows us quaint villages, babbling brooks, and lush forests, suggesting the series will be returning to its fantasy roots after it veered into steampunk territory in Fable 3. Join us while we dig through the juicy details about the new Fable, discuss what’s likely to appear, and gush openly about what we’re hopeful about in the newly announced open-world game.
Fable release date Let’s start with the Fable release date and the fact it doesn’t have one. Seeing as we’ve only seen a short announcement trailer, we’ll take the joy of just knowing a sequel to one of the best PC games is still in development for now.
In an interview last year, Playground Games confirms that the series will keep the trademark “light-hearted” and “British” tone, also saying that it will be out before the Elder Scrolls 6 release date.
Fable trailer The Fable announcement trailer debuted as part of the Xbox and Bethesda 2020 showcase. It starts with a fairy flying between objects like swords and skulls in a magical forest to the soothing voice of a British narrator. It’s very Fable in its humour, right up to the moment a large toad devours the fairy and it pans above the treetops to a view of Bowerstone. Sadly, no chickens though.
Fable setting Which leads us on to the setting. We can see what looks like the town of Bowerstone in the background, a key Fable location, and it takes on the same appearance as it does in both Fable 1 and 2. Bowerstone does, however, seem to be a lot bigger in the trailer than past games. The town seems to sprawl between the hilltops, which suggests much bigger environments and possibly an even larger open world than we’ve seen before.
Fable development Tom Gaulton, lead engineer at Playground Games, revealed on Twitter that he has been working on Fable for four years. A lot of games with this much development time typically show more than a teaser trailer, but it appears Playground Games want to take things slow. Sadly, this doesn’t tell us anything about when we should expect the game to launch.

Fable story We also see a glint of the Heroes Guild seal crest on the aforementioned sword’s hilt, which could mean the Heroes Guild could well feature again. Fable fans aren’t strangers to the Guild. Its distinctive icon appears around Albion, for example on Hero Hill in Fable 2, and the guild itself first appeared in the first Fable. The Guild seal, which also bears the icon, is also famous for letting you fast travel around the open world, as well as allowing you to talk to the Guild Master in the original Fable (remember, “Hero, your will energy is low”?), and Theresa, the seer, in Fable II and III.
We’re glad to see the steampunk setting dwindle behind Fable’s new stunning vistas and hope for a more mythological story that definitely matches up to the trailer’s fairy character and the forests’ strange fauna and flora in the giant mushrooms and prancing fish. We wonder if we’ll see any more trolls, nymphs, or hobbes?
