Fable Drops Four Minutes of New Gameplay

Four minutes of new Fable gameplay has been released by Xbox, showing off more of the game's combat. The footage was released personally by Xbox CEO Asha Sharma as part of a larger celebration for the company's 25th anniversary. The gameplay shows off a bunch of combat, highlighting not only standard swordplay, but also ranged attacks and unique moves that can be performed using magic. The gameplay was captured on PC using ultra graphics settings and concludes with the protagonist stumbling upon an incredibly sinister-looking tomb or coffin. Fable was, of course, meant to have been released this fall. However, Xbox made the smart decision to delay the game to February. Although the team says the delay wasn't done specifically in an effort to avoid GTA 6, it was likely a nice benefit. Microsoft still had plenty of releases this autumn thanks to Modern Warfare 4 and Gears of War: E-Day, so it was wise to give Fable some more room to breathe.
