00:00Fable est Playground's first open-world action-RPG
00:04et nous ne pouvons pas être plus heureux de porter le travail des studios legendaires Lionhead,
00:09les créateurs originales de la franchise.
00:11Et même si notre jeu est un nouveau début,
00:13je pense que ce que nous faisons est vraiment faithful
00:15à l'esprit de la trilogie classique Lionhead que nous aimons tous.
00:23Au cœur de notre jeu est une question simple, recueillante.
00:26What does it mean to you to be a hero?
00:30Our game is about choices and their consequences.
00:33It's packed with action, drama, British humour, moral dilemmas and quite a few chickens.
00:40All of this combines in a fairy tale which could only be fable.
00:49In classic fable fashion, you begin the game as a child.
00:53Growing up in the sleepy rural village of Briar Hill.
00:57It's here that in a moment of extreme danger,
01:00your heroic powers first emerge
01:02and we discover that you are Albion's first hero in a generation.
01:07But not long afterwards, disaster strikes
01:10and the people of your village, including your beloved grandma,
01:13are turned to stone by a mysterious stranger.
01:16Suddenly alone in the world, you'll set off on an adventure
01:20which will change Albion forever.
01:25Venturing out into the world is a huge moment
01:27because this is Albion like you've never seen it before.
01:29Idyllic rolling hills,
01:31magical forests,
01:34bustling villages,
01:36sleepy hamlets,
01:38oversized vegetable patches
01:40and stunning vistas.
01:44And because our Albion is truly open world,
01:46for the first time,
01:47you'll be able to explore this rich and detailed world seamlessly
01:50with the freedom to go where you want from early in the game.
01:54We can't wait to welcome you back to Albion's iconic capital city,
01:58Bowerstone.
02:00Home to Fairfax Castle,
02:02the Old Clock Tower
02:04and the legendary Heroes Guild.
02:08It's a huge city,
02:09full of contrasts,
02:10rich and poor,
02:11nobles and commoners,
02:12royalty and criminals.
02:14You'll spend plenty of time here during the game
02:16as you discover the secrets of the Heroes Guild
02:19and its reclusive guild master, Humphrey the Golder.
02:25In the north of Albion,
02:26you'll find mountains,
02:28craggy coastlines,
02:30spooky marshes
02:33and the bleak windswept city of Bloodstone.
02:38Here, you'll meet the leaders of two rival gangs,
02:40vying for power
02:42and uncover the secrets of the sinister
02:44but extremely well-organized
02:46Cult of Shadows.
02:49Our Albion is beautiful,
02:51handcrafted
02:53and richly detailed.
02:58In Albion, Heroes are special.
02:59Different.
03:02They're stronger than regular people.
03:03They're more skillful,
03:04more charismatic.
03:06More importantly,
03:07they're those rare humans
03:08who can harness and use
03:09magic in the world around them.
03:11They have the power
03:12to do what they want.
03:14And so do you.
03:15In our game,
03:16we want you to play as the hero
03:17you want to be.
03:18And that starts with being able to choose
03:20how your hero character looks.
03:22So,
03:23in Fable,
03:24you'll be able to pick from a range
03:25of different character heads
03:26and customize your clothing,
03:28hair,
03:29skin tone, tattoos
03:30and scars.
03:31So the hero you play represents you.
03:34But as well as your appearance,
03:35you can be the hero you want to be
03:37through the way you play,
03:38through the skills and abilities you learn
03:40and through the weapons you use.
03:41Just like the classic trilogy,
03:44heroes in our game
03:45fight with a combination
03:46of strength,
03:47skill and will.
03:49Seamlessly blending
03:50melee and ranged weapons
03:51with magical abilities
03:53gives us
03:54style weaving combat.
03:58Allowing you to show off
03:59your personal play style
04:03against single opponents
04:05and large groups of enemies alike.
04:07melee is at the heart
04:10of our close quarters combat.
04:12You'll use light
04:13and heavy combos
04:15often knocking enemies
04:16off balance
04:17and executing stylish finishers.
04:21Swap to your ranged weapon
04:22to bypass enemy guard
04:25and deal with troublesome
04:26flying enemies.
04:29And of course,
04:30you'll be able to unleash
04:31your powerful spells
04:32to both manipulate
04:33and devastate your opponents.
04:38We're excited
04:39to be bringing back
04:40some fan favourite
04:41adversaries
04:42for you to fight.
04:50Hobbs are back.
04:51As are Balvries,
04:52Hollow Folk
04:53and Trolls.
04:59And we're adding
05:00brand new enemies too.
05:01Like this fearsome cockatrice.
05:02A giant fire breathing chicken.
05:05Each enemy family is different
05:06with their own weaknesses
05:07to exploit
05:08and defences to overcome.
05:10But with all the unique tools
05:11in your combat toolbox
05:12how you defeat your enemies
05:13is up to you.
05:22But there's more to being a hero
05:23in Albion than fighting.
05:24So much more.
05:26When we talk to people
05:27about their favourite memories
05:28of the original games
05:29so many of their stories
05:30were about the stuff
05:31you can do when you weren't
05:32just being a hero.
05:33the normal everyday stuff
05:34which happened
05:35when you interacted
05:36with the people of Albion.
05:37For me,
05:38what I remember most vividly
05:39are the inhabitants of Albion
05:41and the things
05:42you can do with them
05:43or to them.
05:44The crazy thing
05:45about the classic fable games
05:46was that in the middle
05:47of a sprawling RPG
05:48was almost a complete other game
05:50where you could just
05:51mess around
05:52with the villages
05:53and townsfolk.
05:54and we've built that same experience
05:56in the middle of our game too.
05:59Buying a house
06:00getting a job
06:01making some money
06:05Romancing a villager
06:06getting married
06:07having kids
06:08fancy a date
06:09perfect
06:10you can get to know me better
06:15Buying another house
06:16Buying every house in Albion
06:18Buying every business in Albion
06:22getting rich
06:23Marrying a bunch more people
06:25having a bunch more kids
06:27probably getting divorced along the way
06:29for good measure
06:30And this game within the game
06:31is unique to fable
06:33it's systemic
06:34interconnected
06:35and you'll see the ripple effects
06:36of the things you do
06:37everywhere you go
06:38and all of this revolves around
06:41the people who live in Albion
06:43who we call
06:45the living population
06:46there are more than a thousand of them
06:48and every single one is unique
06:50each of them has a name
06:51a role
06:52a daily routine
06:53and their own personality
06:54you could follow any one of them
06:56for a day
06:57and just watch them live their life
07:01They'll get up
07:02go to work
07:03spend some leisure time on hobbies
07:05then go home to bed
07:06but what's even cooler
07:08is that you can talk to
07:09every single one of them
07:10in fully voiced conversations
07:12and interact with them
07:13in loads of different ways
07:15maybe the job they go to
07:16is working for you
07:17because you hired them
07:18to work in one of your businesses
07:20Hey you
07:21Working hard?
07:22How can I help you boss?
07:24Maybe the bed they sleep in
07:26is in a house you own
07:27because you're the landlord
07:29or maybe their bed is on the street
07:32because you evicted them
07:34alright?
07:36Oh it's you
07:38You're awful
07:40And all of the stuff you do
07:42affects what they think of you
07:44You're a legend
07:45because everything you do
07:47builds your reputation
07:48Very impressive
07:50Now that's an hero right there
07:53Morality has always been
07:54super important to Fable
07:55that tension between good and evil
07:57underpinned all of the original games
07:59and morality is central to our game too
08:03but we have a slightly different take on it
08:09For us morality isn't black and white
08:11There are lots of grey areas
08:14And importantly morality is subjective
08:18No two people see things exactly the same way
08:23And that's how it works in our game too
08:28Everything you do earns you a reputation
08:31And every person in Albion will have a different reaction to you as a result
08:37Hello there
08:38Yeah yeah we get it
08:40You're rich
08:41They'll remember things you did directly to them
08:44They'll love you or hate you for the choices you make
08:47And they will always tell you why
08:49Although usually from a safe distance
08:52Our game will never judge you
08:54But the people of Albion will
08:56Loudly
08:59Imbecile
09:01Your reputation is created by the choices you make
09:05And you are going to make a lot of them
09:08Big choices
09:09Little choices
09:10Moral choices
09:12And some choices that will actually change the landscape of Albion
09:16For the rest of your game
09:18We call this idea
09:20Your choices change the world
09:22Let's give you an example
09:23Early in the game you'll meet a character named Dave
09:26An egotistical gardener in a rural village
09:28Who discovers a magical growth formula
09:31He accidentally turns himself into a giant
09:33And becomes a big problem
09:35It'll be your job to deal with him
09:37And ultimately will be your choice
09:38Whether to kill him or to spare him
09:40If you kill him
09:41His giant corpse will lie on the farmland
09:43Just outside of town
09:44For the rest of the game
09:45And that is going to affect house prices
09:48It will also affect what a lot of the villagers think about you
09:51Especially Dave's sister
09:53In Fable
09:54The choices you make will define you
09:56What does being a hero mean to you?
10:01At Playground Games we've built a pedigree
10:03For beautiful, immersive, open-world experiences
10:06Yes, they've typically involved sports cars
10:09But this is a passion project for all of us here
10:13Every member of this team
10:15Which we've built from scratch
10:17Has two key things in common
10:19A deep love for the franchise
10:21And a burning desire to bring it back
10:23We're making this for Fable fans just like us
10:26But also to introduce Fable to gamers who've never played the series before
10:31It's been great to finally tell you a little about the game we're making
10:35There'll be much more to share as we get closer to our launch
10:38I'm excited to tell you today that Fable is coming to Xbox, PC, and PlayStation in Autumn 2026
10:45From all of us here, thanks for watching
10:49Thanks for watching
