Fable, the highly anticipated reboot of the beloved fantasy RPG series, has been officially delayed to 2026. Originally slated for a 2025 release, developer Playground Games announced the delay through the Xbox Game Studios Update With Craig Duncan Podcast on February 25.

Along with the delay announcement, Microsoft released 51 seconds of never-before-seen footage showcasing:

Craig Duncan, Studio Head at Playground Games, explained that the delay aims to ensure the highest quality experience for long-time fans. "We do these things for the best of the games and the teams, and ultimately that results in the best game for the community," Duncan stated.

This marks the first mainline Fable title in 12 years. Based on the revealed footage, the reboot appears to maintain the series' signature style while modernizing it for current gaming standards.
