First pre-alpha gameplay footage of Fable

Completely unexpectedly, early gameplay footage of the next Fable installment surfaced during the Official Xbox Podcast. The video offers glimpses of diverse in-game locations, the combat system, a variety of enemies, and even a brief cutscene. Fans will be thrilled to see the return of the iconic chicken kick.

Earlier, the head of Xbox Game Studios confirmed a delay for Fable, pushing its release from 2025 to 2026. The reason given was the need for additional polish and refinement.

Announced on July 23, 2020, the reboot of this iconic series has remained shrouded in secrecy. Three years post-announcement, it's become evident that Fable is still in the early stages of development.

The involvement of Eidos Montreal alongside main developer Playground Games, coupled with the prolonged absence of polished gameplay footage, suggests the game faces significant challenges.
