After years of near-silence, Playground Games popped up twice during today's Developer Direct showcase: The first time to show off Forza Horizon 6 and the second (and what we're here to talk about now) to finally give us a good look at Fable, its reboot of the famed RPG series. And it's setting the bar high. "Although our game is a new beginning," said game director Ralph Fulton, "I think what we're making is really faithful to the spirit of the classic Lionhead trilogy that we all love."
The core of the new Fable is freedom, choices, and consequences: Setting off in the wake of disaster as Albion's first hero in a generation, you'll explore a seamless open world, visiting new and familiar locations alike including Bowerstone, "a huge city full of contrasts: rich and poor, nobles and commoners, royalty and criminals." Your character will be fully customizable in both appearance and abilities, with access to melee and ranged combat options as well as powerful magic spells.
