We don't know too much about the game, other than it definitely looks to have carried on the British sense of humour of the previous entries.

Two trailers have been shown, the first featuring Richard Ayoade (of The IT Crowd and Travel Man fame) and the second starring Matt King (you probably know him as Super Hans from Peep Show).

Here's the latest trailer starring Matt King:

Yep, that was Susan Wokoma (Taskmaster, Cheaters and Enola Holmes), too. This game has a stacked cast of British comedy stars.

Excited? Read on to find out everything there is to know about the Fable release date, and to catch up on its latest news.

When is the Fable release date?

Microsoft has confirmed that the Fable release date window is 2025.

This is told to us on the game's official page.

Unfortunately, we don't have anything more concrete to share with you. It's set to release sometime in 2025 – that's all we know, sorry!

We'll update this page with official Fable release date info when it's revealed by Xbox.

Can I pre-order Fable?

You can't pre-order Fable, currently.

It was previously listed at GAME in the UK, but appears to be gone as of writing.

When we near the game's launch, you should be able to pre-order it from stores including GAME.

Time will tell with Fable of course, but it looks as though Xbox is moving away from traditional physical copies, instead releasing more expensive 'Deluxe Editions' as physical only.

It will be available on the Xbox Game Pass whenever its day one release turns out to be!

Which consoles and platforms can play Fable?

As per the entire series, Fable will be an Xbox Series X/S console exclusive (at launch at least), it will also be released on PC.

Time will tell if it crosses over to PS5, too, as other recent Xbox games have been doing, including Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

What are the Fable gameplay and story details?

We're a little thin on the ground when it comes to gameplay and story details at the moment. However, the trailer reveals that it will remain a comedic fantasy of the Pratchett tradition.

Its Steam listing tells us "What does it mean to be a Hero? Well, in the fairytale land of Albion, that is entirely up to you. With a dark threat looming, your choices will change Albion forever."

Is there a Fable trailer?

There is a Fable trailer, and, as promised, here it is, complete with Richard Ayoade:
