Xbox's Fable reboot delayed to February 2027

Xbox announced the upcoming Fable reboot has been delayed in an X post on Friday. Previously planned for a fall 2026 release, Fable will now launch in February 2027, though a specific release date has not been set. "In order to plan our game launches through the holidays, in a way that works best for players, we’re moving Fable to February 2027 so it can have the dedicated moment it deserves," Xbox stated.

On an episode of the Official Xbox Podcast, Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty said the game is in a good place in its development. "The game is in great shape. The team feels really good. We’re excited about where the game is," he said. "We really just wanted [Fable] to have its own moment to shine." Despite the delay, Xbox will share a "major new look" at Fable during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 7.

The showcase will include new game announcements and in-depth looks at upcoming releases, like Gears of War: E-Day.
