Fable 4 Release Date Hinted: Early 2025 Launch Expected?

Fable fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of the game’s next installment since 2020, when it was announced with great fanfare at the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase. While the official line from Playground Games is that it’s coming sometime in 2025, industry experts have recently hinted that a release date between October and December of next year is highly likely. Disappointing news for fans, perhaps, but at least the one-year countdown has begun!

What Platforms Will Fable 4 Be Available On?

Fable 4 will launch on both PC and Xbox Series X|S, with players able to get stuck into the action through the Xbox Game Pass immediately. The game may also be available on Steam, although this is as yet unconfirmed.

Any Clues on Fable 4’s Storyline?

Bowerstone will remain one of Fable 4’s key locations and is likely to have been significantly expanded in the latest instalment of the game. There are even hints of a much larger open world than gamers have previously been able to explore.

The officially released trailers suggest that the Heroes Guild will play an important role in Fable 4, and it’s expected that the overall storyline and vibe of the game will lean much more heavily on a mythical feel, leaving behind the steampunk aesthetic of previous outings. Think magic, fairies, swords, and fantastical beasts, and you’re on the right track. Players can expect to slay legendary creatures, partake in epic sword fights in rowdy taverns, and even a possible romantic interest. There’s a gigantic toad to tackle, too.

One of the new characters players will meet is a glasses-wearing giant called Dave (a self-confessed vegetable enthusiast), voiced by British actor and comedian Richard Ayoade. Dave isn’t the gentle giant he seems, however: he’s actually one of the game’s big bosses. He’s a great example of the classic British humor that infuses Fable 4.

Fable 4 is just one of many highly anticipated new releases expected in 2025, including Grand Theft Auto 6, Sid Meier's Civilization 7, Doom: The Dark Ages, and Slay the Spire 2. A slew of new online slots and casino games are also on the release roster; watch out for casino promo codes to get the most bang for your buck and boost your chances of a win.

Can I Pre-Order Fable 4?

Unfortunately, there’s no facility to pre-order Fable 4 at this time. However, once a concrete release date has been set, there will inevitably follow a date from which fans can pre-order their copy of the game. Some point in mid-2025 is our bet.

So, Is There Any Hope for a Fable 4 Early 2025 Release?

Well, there’s always hope…however, with industry insiders adamant that Fable 4 will be released sometime between October and December 2025, the likelihood of a launch in early 2025 is pretty low. However, what is for sure is that by 2026, fans will be well and truly immersed in the latest installment of this epic - and epically popular - game.
