The biggest no-show of this month's Xbox Developer Direct isn't fooling me. It's been a long time since Playground Games let us glimpse its upcoming Fable reboot, but that second cinematic trailer revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase 2024 is still on my mind. Humphry's alcohol-soaked soliloquy on herodom frames the swashbuckling medieval fantasy realm of Albion with fittingly tongue-in-cheek humor, but for all the RPG flavor it paints for the game, the trailer did its job by leaving plenty more questions than answers.
I'd expect nothing less. As one of the biggest upcoming Xbox Series X games slated to launch in 2025, Fable's elusivity only feeds into its mystique. With the likes of Avowed and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 now just weeks away from launch, I'm hoping the industry is whetting its appetite for one of the most beloved and best RPG series to make a dazzling comeback – eventually.
