In an unexpected yet game-altering announcement, Microsoft's Xbox has decided to push back the highly anticipated reboot of the beloved RPG franchise, Fable, until February 2027. The decision comes as a response to the jam-packed release schedule and the impending launch of GTA 6, which is slated for November 19, 2026. With an array of blockbuster titles already lined up this year, such as Halo: Campaign Evolved, Gears of War: E-Day, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, and Grand Theft Auto VI, Xbox aims to ensure each title receives the spotlight it deserves. Fable will be showcased prominently during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 7, offering gamers a sneak peek at the game's latest developments alongside its broader lineup. Previous rumors about an internal delay of Fable were met with denials by the official Fable social media account, but it now appears that these concerns were validated. With questions still lingering around Fable's final release date, fans can expect more updates during Microsoft's Xbox Games Showcase. Aside from Fable and Gears of War: E-Day, other anticipated titles like InXile's Clockwork Revolution, Undead Labs' State of Decay 3, and Hideo Kojima’s OD are also eagerly awaited. Yesterday, Microsoft-owned Activision announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, set to launch on October 23. Fable developer Playground Games has confirmed the presence of 1,000 fully voiced NPCs in the game, with the intriguing twist that players can marry every single one of them.
