Fable director "happy to go toe-to-toe" with heavy hitters like Persona and God of War, but GTA 6 is a beast he's "happy to avoid entirely"

The masked Jack of Blades is lit from behind by flames in Fable (2027) for Xbox Series X.

GTA 6's November release date caused other video games to part like the Red Sea, huddling together in the slightly safer confines of the months before and after. One such game is the upcoming Fable reboot, and its director feels fine about launching next to other big hitters not called GTA 6.

Take a quick look at our new games release calendar and you'll notice that the months around GTA 6 are unusually swamped with notable releases. Next February is particularly busy with Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, God of War: Laufey, Persona 4 Revival and Fable all coming out within mere days of each other.
