After being silent since June 2024, Playground Games has confirmed its participation in the show. The developers noted that it is time to show much more of the new project.
This is not about a short trailer. The authors used the wording "our first detailed dive," which indicates a detailed presentation of game systems, mechanics, and the world of Albion. The statement practically nullifies rumors of a release being pushed back to 2027. Microsoft seems to be sticking to its original plan and expects to release the new Fable in 2026, making it one of the key releases of the year.
The mention of the first deep dive also gives a hint about the release date. The release is most likely to take place in the second half of 2026. September is called the optimal window - this will avoid direct competition with Grand Theft Auto 6, scheduled for November.
Details will be revealed in less than two weeks, when Playground Games will take players through a new fairytale world.
