KeyA new beginning for Albion
Fable is the return of Xbox's role-playing series and its British humour, developed by Playground Games and published by Xbox Game Studios. It is a reboot: a living, vibrant open-world Albion filled with peculiar characters, dark humour and chickens, lots of chickens. This isn't just nostalgia: it is a new beginning.
Be the Hero you want to be
You are the first Hero in a generation. Customize your Hero's appearance and weave melee, ranged and magical combat against bandits, beasts and creatures: brand-new enemies and fan favourites like Hobbes, Balverines and Trolls. Your power grows right alongside your reputation.
Build an extraordinary life
Beyond the combat lies a living world where you carve your own identity: get filthy rich as a landlord or blacksmith, romance a villager (or three), have a bunch of kids and watch your reputation precede you. In Albion, reputation is everything: your noble deeds and questionable decisions affect your relationship with each villager and can even shape the world around you. Fairytale ending not guaranteed.
Standard, Premium or the upgrade
Standard is the base game. Premium adds 5 days of early access (from February 18, 2027), the Premium Edition Content Pack with the Splendid and Bastard armour and gifts, the digital artbook with the soundtrack, and the "Fable: Order of the Hero" expansion when it lands post-launch. The "+ Pre-Order Bonus" variants add the Chicken Suit and gifts (wild flower bouquet, toy chicken and picnic hamper). If you already own the base game, the Premium Upgrade (DLC) gives you the Premium content, without early access.
One key for Xbox Series X|S and PC
Every key is Xbox Series X|S / PC (Play Anywhere): redeem it on your Microsoft account and the game is available on console and on Windows. There are EU and worldwide variants: pick your account's region, because it cannot be changed afterwards. Each product page lists where it activates.
While you wait: the Fable series
