How Fable Cranks up Combat Far Beyond the Series' One-Button Legacy | gamescom 2026

Playground Games' take on Fable has been long anticipated by fans eager to step back into the world of Albion. With all fresh takes on beloved IPs, changes are inevitable and Playground are seeking to take some big swings at Combat. To get the details on how they’ve tackled this, we caught up with Ralph Fulton, General Manager and Game Director, to talk combat changes, spell casting, and skill-trees. If Combat isn’t your bag, we also got answers to burning questions about character customisation, morality and how it functions in the narrative, and of course, can we kill all the NPCs? Fable is launching February 23rd 2027 for PlayStation 5 (PS5), PC (Steam, Xbox on PC) and Xbox Series X|S. #IGN #Gaming #gamescom
