Xbox and Playground Games have revealed a new look at Fable that focuses on “official quest gameplay” and teases some of its story and combat. The game will release on February 23.
The trailer’s description outlines what it shows off: “The Hero of Briar Hill has entered the depths of Deepwood alongside Arden, a local Hero, to investigate why strange magical happenings have been troubling the people of Oakshire. Here, they cross a threshold where the natural magic of Deepwood appears corrupted by an outside force, and they discover hints as to who or what could be responsible…”

Fable launches on February 23 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Microsoft Store and Steam. The Steam page describes Fable as follows:
Become the Hero you want to be in an immersive open-world action-RPG where each choice shapes your journey, reputation is everything, and fairytale endings are never guaranteed.
A New Beginning For A Legendary Franchise
Fable returns in a stunning reboot of a beloved franchise. As the first Hero in a generation, explore a living Albion filled with peculiar characters, dark humour, and chickens… lots of chickens. This isn’t just nostalgia — it’s a new beginning set in a beautifully vibrant open world.
Be The Hero You Want To Be
Customize your Hero’s appearance and wield powerful weapons as you weave melee, ranged, and magical combat. Take on bandits, beasts, and creatures — including brand-new enemies and fan-favorites like Hobbes, Balverines, and Trolls. Your power grows right alongside your reputation.
Build An Extraordinary Life
Beyond all the combat lies a living world where you can carve your own identity. Get filthy rich as a landlord or blacksmith, romance a villager (or three), have a bunch of kids, and watch as your reputation precedes you. Being a Hero is a bit like being a celebrity… if celebrities carried swords and occasionally battled giant fire-breathing chickens.
Your Choices Change The World
In Albion, a Hero’s reputation is everything. Your noble deeds and questionable decisions affect your relationship with each villager and can even shape the world around you. Whose opinion matters most? The choice is yours… and so are the consequences. It’s up to you to decide what it means to be a Hero.
Fairytale Ending Not Guaranteed.
