Fable Gets a New Quest Gameplay Video for XBOX’s 25th

The latest look at Fable takes the Hero of Briar Hill into the depths of Deepwood, in a new quest gameplay video Playground Games released as part of XBOX’s 25th anniversary celebrations. In the quest, the Hero is joined by Arden, a local Hero, to investigate why strange magical happenings have been troubling the people of Oakshire. The two of them cross a threshold where the natural magic of Deepwood appears to be corrupted by an outside force, and they discover hints as to who or what could be responsible. It follows the Mud and Death quest shown at gamescom in August, which took the Hero into a flooded, haunted mine with Heroes’ Guild leader Humphry.

Fable launches on February 23, 2027 for PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC via Steam, after XBOX moved it out of its fall 2026 window back in May. When that delay was announced, I said I wasn’t worried because of Playground Games’ track record, and that roughly 40 hours with Forza Horizon 6 left me confident the studio knows how to make a fun game. The Premium Edition comes with up to five days of early access starting on February 18, along with the Fable Digital Artbook and Soundtrack and the Fable: Order of the Hero expansion that’s coming after launch. It also includes the Premium Edition Content Pack, which has two cosmetic armor sets and in-game gifts, and preorders are available through the official Fable website.
