‘Fable Legends’ Will Be Free To Play
One year ago we found ourselves pondering the future of the Fable franchise, knowing that the type of game die hard fans of the series love and expect had been thrown out the window in order to jump on the current mess of a gaming trend bandwagon and make a co-op four vs. one type of game instead.
The big question then was, would this new game still cost what a normal game costs or would it also embrace other unpopular things such as monthly subscription fees or microtransactions? Now we have an answer. The good news is that Fable Legends will not have a monthly subscription fee like The Elder Scrolls Online had before the recent decision to drop it. In fact, it won’t have any fees. The game will be free to play…with the option for in-game purchases of course.
You can see details about what this means and where you can play, and also see a video of the announcement below.

E3 2014: First ‘Fable Legends’ Gameplay Shown
E3 2014 is officially underway, and plenty of games have already been shown.
One highly anticipated upcoming game that was announced back in August of last year is Fable Legends. The game comes in place of the once expected Fable IV, which Lionhead Studios has said is not currently being worked on, and is built around co-op gaming, which has many fans of the series differing in their levels of excitement.
The first gameplay demo for Fable Legends was presented today, and you can watch it as well as a trailer below.

Will ‘Fable Legends’ Require A Subscription Fee, Microtransactions?
We first found out about Fable Legends back in August. Developer Lionhead Studios also announced at the time that the game, a prequel set in the earlier years of the land of Albion (before all that guns nonsense, back when it was truly magical), was almost exclusively their focus, and Fable IV was not being made. Lots of information was given about the new game, which would add an online cooperative multiplayer element that would allow you to play with friends, similarly to what The Elder Scrolls Online is doing.
All of that is well and good, but some new quotes from John Needham, the man who replaced Peter Molyneaux at the top of Lionhead, could lead one to presume that, just like the aforementioned Elder Scrolls Online, Fable Legends could be going the route of monthly subscription fees, or maybe microtransactions.

Lionhead Announces Prequel ‘Fable Legends’; Says ‘Fable 4’ Not In Development
First came Fable: The Journey. Then came that mysterious cinematic teaser trailer. Now comes a brand new game in the Fable universe titled Fable Legends. None of these became what fans really wanted one of them to become, and that is of course Fable IV. The Journey ended up being a separate disappointing Kinect title. The mysterious trailer was for the HD anniversary re-release of the original Fable with The Lost Chapters (which, to be perfectly fair, is very much exciting in its own right).
Fable Legends is…well, something else. It sounds like it’s somewhere in between Dragon Age and The Elder Scrolls Online. Continue below to find out what we do know so far, and to see the game’s first trailer.

Microsoft Confirms HD ‘Fable’ Makeover ‘Fable Anniversary’; See Side-By-Side Comparison Now
A few days back we shared with you a video from Lionhead Studios teasing what looked like an HD makeover for their classic game, Fable, but that it could also have been teasing a full remake of the original favorite and perhaps even Fable 4.
As it turns out, however, speculation was completely and utterly useless, as Microsoft had already confirmed that a new remastered version of Fable being called Fable Anniversary was on the way for the Xbox 360. Complete with The Lost Chapters, of course. These things happen, what can I say? That internet, it’s a jungle.
As you can see by the comparison image below, the work they’re doing is absolutely phenomenal, and fans of the franchise should be more excited than they’ve been in a long time. Sure it’s a game they’ve played before, but it’s also a great game that will look better than ever.
