Playground Games has shared new details regarding Fable, the upcoming action RPG for Xbox, clarifying that the title will not feature soulslike difficulty. According to associate project director Will Kennedy, the studio wanted to preserve the accessible combat legacy of the classic games while introducing greater depth.
The revamped combat system introduces targeted attacks using ranged weapons. Players can shoot a Hollow in the leg to make it crawl or decapitate enemies, causing them to wander aimlessly or fire wildly. Additionally, magic spells offer distinctive effects, such as transforming a Hollow into an undead chicken or turning that chicken into roast fowl with a fireball.
Combat is not the only solution in the game, as missions can also rely on dialogue choices, a revamped reputation system, exploration, and puzzles. Fable is scheduled for release on February 23, 2027, for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC, with day-one availability on Game Pass.
