Back in the golden days of gaming,Fablewas one of the top-tier Xbox exclusives right up there withHalo, and it made the Xbox 360 a must-have. However, for some odd reason, the franchise was abandoned and never heard of again.
However, after a long hiatus from the franchise, Xbox unveiled to the masses in 2020 thatFableis making a return with a new entry. It seems like Microsoft is betting huge on this title as it’s learning from its previous mistakes withHellblade 2and making sure thatFabledoesn’t repeat it anyway or shape.
Fable 4might release on PS5 unlikeHellblade 2
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2debuted earlier this year, and its reception wasn’t the best one. While the game nailed its visuals, design, and presentation, many despised its short story length, repetitive combat, and lack of evolution from previous games.
One of the biggest underlying issues with the game was its exclusivity to Xbox. It wasn’t a well-known franchise to begin with, and it lost out a major chunk of the audienceby being limited to a console that’s losing out against PS5.

However, it seems like Microsoft has realized this blunder. Game journalist and The Xbox Two podcast co-host Jez Corden revealed on Twitter/X that Microsoft considersHellblade 2‘s exclusivity to be a major mistake, andFablewouldn’t follow the same path.
That game was monstrously expensive. It might not be day one, but it’ll come with the current plan in place imo.
Cordon suggests thatFablewon’t be limited to Xbox due to its huge budget. Although the game might not arrive on PlayStation consoles on day one, it will eventually make its way withMicrosoft’s current strategy of bringing all first-party Xbox gamesto PlayStation.
In recent months, we’ve seen more and more Xbox games jumping consoles. The brand-new trailer forThe Outer Worlds 2revealed that the game would be arriving on PS5. Obsidian’sAvowedis still listed for Xbox and PC, but that’s probably going to change soon.
Corden has alsosuggestedthat the age of Xbox having its own exclusive games is over. However, Sony isn’t heading down this route as it’s not willing to share its biggest games with Xbox.
When isFable 4hitting the shelves?
The nextFablegame got its first real reveal in 2023’s Xbox Games Showcase, and recent leaks have suggested that the game has CD Projekt Red’s DNA as itscombat design is inspired by what we’ve seen inThe Witcher 3.

However, the game’s actual release is still way off. Back in June, developer Playground Games revealed a very vague release timeframe of 2025. It’s quite frustrating that we don’t have an actual release date, but it’s great to see that we will be finally returning to this iconic RPG series next year.
But it won’t be that easy for PlayGround Games. Let’s not forget the fact one of the mosthyped games of the decade,GTA 6, is also dropping next year. Most gaming studios are looking to avoid the year because Rockstar Games will be at the center of attention.
With that said, do you think Microsoft should bringFable 4to PlayStation consoles? Let us know in the comments below.
