Microsoft has announced a delay to the Playground-developed Fable reboot, which had been scheduled for this year but will now arrive at an unspecified date in 2026. The publisher did provide a sweetener of sorts by also releasing a brief new look at the game, which Xbox Game Studios head Craig Duncan says will be "definitely worth the wait".
The pre-alpha footage isn't a trailer per se but shows off various locations and confirms that, yep, this is a very pretty looking game indeed. The clips include some combat and spell-casting as well as the main character walking through a magnificent city, riding a horse through the open world, booting a chicken, and frying up some sausages before fighting a werewolf attracted by the smell.
