Xbox’s new Fable embraces color and humor. Refreshing!
I dig just about everything in the new 18-minute video demo that you can watch on YouTube. (I can’t embed it because it’s age-gated.) The whole vibe is way more interesting to me than yet another grimdark fantasy. Fable launches on February 23rd, 2027.
