This news comes as a bit of a surprise. Apparently, Microsoft has decided to cancel the forthcoming action-RPG Fable Legends. In a news post early this morning, Hanno Lamke, the General Manager at Microsoft Studios Europe, stated "after much consideration we have decided to cease development on Fable Legends." It then gets a bit grim for the employees at Lionhead Studios, and altogether bad for developer Press Play.
Fable Legends developer Lionhead Studios gives us a more in-depth look at the character Celeste. She is one of two healers in the game, alongside Doctor Leech, but also has some impressive offensive abilities. Celeste can call down light to smite her enemies, in the form of a blazing spear from the sky, preventing other players from blocking ...
Fable Legends has been in closed beta for some months now. The originally announced launch date for the game was before Christmas 2015, but news has been scarce of the Microsoft exclusive game. This week, Lionhead Studios announced that the open beta will be coming in Spring 2016.
If you've played any of the Fable games, you're probably well acquainted with the furry ferocities known as Balverines. Though they're rarely central to the plot, the creatures go hand-in-hand with the Fable experience. They're like Tauntauns in Star Wars, or used needles at a music festival. The latest "Return to Albion" video shows Fable Legends continuing in the lycanthrope tradition, although these Balverines may be slightly different than the ones you remember.
Fairy Tales are full of archetypes, from the beautiful princess to the ghastly ogre. Many of stories also have a Prince Charming, but not many of them are as violent as Sterling from Fable Legends. This is one handsome chap who is as likely to stab you, as he is to kiss you.
Who hasn't wanted to get all rock 'n' roll once in a while and throw a TV out of the window or smash up a guitar? There are cheaper ways of releasing your musical frustration and the character of Verse in Fable Legends may just be the person for you. She likes to hit enemies with her over sized lute.
We've previously seen some of Fable Legends roster of heroes, including Doctor Leech, the plague doctor, and Inga, the shield toting warrior. Now, we're getting a glimpse at a new hero, Celeste.
Typically, I'd introduce this article by saying something about how ogres are a misunderstood race. "Really, they're peaceful creatures. They just want to defend their own territory," I'd say. "We just need to try better to understand them," and so on and so forth. You know what, though? After watching today's Fable Legends dev diary, I got no sympathy for those lumbering cretins.
Fable Legends, the upcoming four player co-op from Lionhead Studios, is starting to shed the layers of mystery that surrounded it when it was first announced way back in 2013. Although its release date is still nebulous (by that I mean it'll be out sometime between this very moment and the next time the Cubs win the pennant, i.e. infinity), the developers have hinted that the game will drop later this year.
Question 1: Do you enjoy things that, in the circumstance of monetary transactions, require you to transfer none of your own currency to another party?
2015 looks to be the first solid year in a while for co-op gamers. The Xbox One and PS4 have hit their stride and the PC continues to excel. There’s a few big games on the horizon with a strong focus on those platforms, sadly, leaving being the Xbox 360 and PS3 era. We’ve got both new IPs and old favorites making a return. Let’s d...
PC Fable fans without access to an Xbox One can finally stash those tear stained handkerchiefs and commence training for next-gen chicken chasing. Fable Legends has been formally announced for PCs running Windows 10, with "the game due to launch on both platforms at the same time." Even stranger than a simultaneous PC release for a traditionally Xbox only franchise is the implementation of cross-platform play. You and your friends can mix up a big heap of PC's and Xbox One versions and still play together whenever you'd like. To me, that sounds like the future.
