Speaking during a Q&A session at Gamescom 2026 , associate game director Will Kennedy discussed the scale of the upcoming role-playing game (RPG), saying, "So the main story obviously depends on how you play, but the main storyline is around 15 to 20 hours." He added, "But then we've got around probably
about 15 to 20 hours again of open world and side content to engage with." Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here:

While not a massive amount of hours compared to other open-world RPGs, that
at least gives fans an idea of what to expect when the game releases next year.

However, it's what Kennedy said later that confirmed that, while Fable will have a good-sized story with plenty of side content, the game's life systems, like interacting with the over 1,000 unique non-player characters (NPCs) , buying real estate, committing crimes, and more, will offer up even more playtime.

"Honestly, with the life systems which we [shared an] in-depth look at and showcased earlier on in the year, that's limitless, and you can engage with
it as much as you want," he said.

Fable has been in development for a very long time, but will officially launch on February 23, 2027, for PlayStation 5 , Xbox Series X , Series S , and PC.
