Fable Developers Respond to Criticism: Difficulty Can Be Adjusted

After the Fable demo, some players decided that the new RPG from Playground Games turned out to be too easy. The developers reacted to the criticism and explained that the demonstration was held at the minimum difficulty level.

On social network X, the studio stated that during the presentation, they wanted to show the living world of Albion and the impact of player decisions on events. For this reason, the difficulty was deliberately lowered.

We promise that the guards didn't start drinking tea in the middle of their shift. Our team played on the "Story" difficulty level. This is the gentlest way to stroll through Albion. If you prefer a harsher reception, other difficulty levels will make the guards remember their training and become less... polite.

Thus, Playground Games confirmed the presence of several difficulty levels. Players will be able to choose whether their journey through Albion will be a relaxing stroll or require serious effort.

Fable is scheduled for release on February 23, 2027, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
