- Xbox and Playground Games dropped new gameplay footage for Fable coming in 2027.
- Fans are quite disappointed and say that it looks like a sequel to Dragon Age Veilguard.
- The animations are weird, character designs are messy, and the combat is clunky.
Xbox is placing Fable as one of its major flagship releases for the next year. The franchise has a strong fan base, but early footage received mixed reception. Later trailers improved it, but a new gameplay showcase is getting bombed.
Playground Games revealed new quest gameplay for Fable, and it has attracted a lot of backlash, with fans comparing it to Dragon Age: The Veilguard. They don’t seem happy with the character, environments, or the combat.
Why it matters: Despite spending massive budgets, Xbox first-party games aren’t really making the impact they’d like. Gears E-Day was another example, which, in itself, was decent, but it pretty much failed financially.
Xbox dropped gameplay for Fable, and things aren’t looking too good for the 2027 release. Fans are comparing it to BioWare’s 2024 Dragon Age and saying that the studio is dead, but we are still getting a sequel to Veilguard.
Some are even jokingly calling it “Fable: Age of Veilguard”, highlighting that the expectations aren’t there. Now, the primary complaints are about how the game presents itself, especially in combat.
The protagonist is attacked by some creatures, and they are so terribly designed that, if not for their health bars, you can’t make them out from the background. Additionally, the combat looks really clunky, like Veilguard.
It tries to do a lot, but the polish isn’t there. Now, the trailer does say it’s a work in progress, but if things don’t really change considerably, and seeing the players’ reaction, it’s going to be another bomb.
