Fable's cinematics are getting a helping hand from Blizzard's stellar cinematic team, Xbox boss says

Fable — Richard Ayoade stars in the latest Fable trailer, as an exhausted farmer who, in a just world, would be considered more heroic than the gallivanting adventurer class. Also, he's a giant.

I was awfully late to the joys of Blizzard cinematics—I once mistook a Mists of Pandaria trailer in the cinema to be a new Kung Fu Panda movie, and only really came to appreciate them with the slew of Overwatch shorts the developer pumped out in the run-up to the hero shooter's original 2016 release.

But I am much older and a little wiser now, and able to see just how good Blizzard is when it comes to crafting these animations. So much so, it seems, that Xbox is taking advantage of its ownership of the developer and putting them to use with the upcoming Fable game.
