Microsoft has announced the release of 'Fable 4,' which is expected to launch during the 2020 Holiday launch window or later, and will be exclusive to the Xbox Series X console and Microsoft Windows.
Developed by Playground Games, Fabel 4, now simply called 'Fable,' features many similarities to the series' former installments, which were last updated back in 2010, when 'Fable III' made its debut with a different developer called Lionhead Studios that has since closed its doors. Gamers will still have the chance to experience the legendary world of Albion they got to explore in previous editions, and will control a heroic character—who they can lead through good, evil, and neutral paths. With a new developer behind the wheel, players can expect major updates to the franchise.
