Do you still get to make your own character like in past fables, where that was kind of the point of the game, or do you have to play as that abomination?
Microsoft has announced it's delaying its long-awaited Fable reboot - originally scheduled to launch this year - into 2026, in order to give it "more time".
Xbox Game Studios head Craig Duncan made the announcement during the latest episode of the Official Xbox Podcast, saying, "While I know that's not maybe the news people want to hear, what I want to assure people of is it's definitely worth the wait."
"I have unequivocal confidence in the Playground team... and just what they're bringing to Fable as a franchise," Duncan continued. "Amazing gameplay, British humour, Playground's version of Albion inspired by what has gone before with the franchise, but their take in quite frankly the most beautifully realised version of Albion you've ever seen."
"I want the community to understand that we do these things for the best of the games and the teams," Duncan added, "and ultimately that results in the best game for the community."
Duncan also shared some pre-alpha footage during the podcast, highlighting the progress Playground has made on its Fable reboot - with the clips including some very striking environments and a few glimpses of combat.
"I played some of the city elements," Duncan continued while the footage played out. "I played some of the quests, I played some of the combat, I played a boss battle, I've used magic... it felt amazing and I had a great time... I've seen a bunch more than that, I'm very excited. Take my word for it, but hopefully what the team can see here is enough to build excitement."
Microsoft announced its Fable reboot back in July 2020, with Forza Horizon studio Playground Games at the helm. Since then, the project has resurfaced mainly through cinematic trailers - one in 2023 confirming a starring role for IT Crowd's Richard Ayoade, and another last year revealing the involvement of Matt King, also known as Peep Show's Super Hans.

Perhaps they can add a male protagonist as well? It's clearly a single protagonist at this point and she looks so bad i can't even muster any sort of hype
People think the only protagonist they’ve ever shown is a placeholder and given the negative feedback for her, I’d be surprised if they forced you to play the game as her.
Personally I think it will have a character creator by release
No chance this is a placeholder character. Either its a sole female character or its one out of two. But if there is a male option then i'm surprised they haven't shown it.
Now they might backpedal and insert a new male character, but we'll likely never know that.
the comparison between the two looks about the same, if she looks like a turd then idk wat kind of woman there are in ur country, looks average to me and at leat they gave her long hair and i dont care as long as its not a girl boss and will have a great personality
