Fable Anniversary Coming In Early February 2014
Fable fans will be able to relive their first adventure in Albion very soon. Lionhead Studios has announced the release date for HD makeover Fable Anniversary.
The new version for Xbox 360 comes with new audio, updated graphics, achievements, SmartGlass features, and the expanded “The Lost Chapters” content. Pre-orders include a special case and a code for the Launch Day Weapons & Outfits pack. First-run copies will also include a Lionhead helmet avatar item.
Fable Anniversary will be available on February 4, 2014, in the United States and February 7 in Europe. For more on what’s new in Fable Anniversary, check out a recent preview. We also have the first news on Fable Legends, a next-gen game in development at Lionhead.
Our Take
While the original Fable didn’t live up to the very lofty promises made by then-studio head Peter Molyneux, it was a delightful game on the original Xbox. I’ve played it twice, and this update might lure me back for a third run. Who knows, it might even inspire me to finally forgive the ending of Fable II and play the third game in the series.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
