Fable Legends will be free to play

Creators Lionhead Studios have announced that their upcoming project Fable Legends will be free to play.

To address some early concerns, the developers have issued a brief FAQ on the new design. "You’ll be able to play Fable Legends from beginning-to-end without spending a penny. That means you’ll have access to the entirety of Fable Legends’ storyline and all of the quests we release this year and forever. Everything in Fable Legends that affects gameplay can be earned by simply playing the game."

In Fable Legends, whether you’re adventuring as a Hero or smiting as a Villain, you will earn Silver to spend in-game. And everything that affects makes your characters or your creatures more powerful can be bought with the silver that you earn. You’ll also be able to buy gold with real-world money, which can then be used to purchase many of the items that are also available for Silver.

The game will launch with a wide array of unique Heroes. At any time, there will be four of these Heroes available to play for free. The developers will rotate the four Heroes available on free rotation, so you’ll have a chance to play them all. This is a style similar to another Xbox free to play title, Killer Instinct.

Every Hero can also be customised with a host of interesting outfits, face variations and more available to unlock. A select few outfits are different, from the finest tailors and stylists in Albion they can only be bought with gold.

A big part of playing the Villain is plotting new and inventive ways to entrap and destroy the Heroes. There will be many tools at your disposal, from magical healing stones to explosive mines, and you'll have the opportunity to unlock more traps using either silver or gold.

Fable Legends is coming to Xbox One, as well as PC via Windows 10. The game will support cross-platform multiplayer.
