Playground Games developers clarified the story length in the new Fable
- The main storyline of Fable will take about 20 hours.
- The game will be released on February 23 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series.
- There is no Russian localization in the game.
- The Order of the Hero expansion has already been announced.
At the gamescom press event, representatives of Playground Games confirmed that the main storyline of the new Fable is designed for approximately twenty hours of gameplay. According to them, the game offers enough content to keep players interested, but does not require thousands of hours for a complete playthrough.
What the developers are saying
During the Q&A session, one of the participants noted that Fable "is not a huge project." In response, game director Craig Littler added that players can spend "literally forever" in the game if they are interested in the open world and additional activities.
Thus, the duration depends on the play style: those who focus only on the main quests will complete the story in about twenty hours, while those who love to explore every corner and complete side quests can spend much longer in the game.
Release date and platforms
Fable will be released on February 23, 2024, simultaneously on multiple platforms: digitally on Steam and Microsoft Store for PC, as well as on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. The game will be available to Game Pass subscribers. It is worth noting that Russian is not included in the list of supported languages.
For RPG lovers, a story expansion titled Order of the Hero has already been announced, promising to expand the world and add new missions.
Context and comparison
The twenty-hour duration is comparable to the time it takes to complete the main quest line in open-world games like Skyrim. However, the open world of Fable offers many opportunities for additional content, making it appealing to both players who want to quickly finish the story and those who prefer lengthy explorations.
Expectations for the new Fable are being shaped against the backdrop of a growing demand for quality RPG projects that can combine narrative depth with freedom of action. Information about the duration and available platforms will help players plan their time and decide whether to wait for the Order of the Hero expansion.
