Microsoft Announces Fable III

Earlier today at GamesCon in Cologne, Germany Peter Molyneux unveiled the next chapter in the Fable series, Fable III. In this new adventure you will witness tyranny, poverty, and injustice plague your land. You will see a people divided, and you will be compelled to stand up for a change. In Fable III the journey to rule the throne of Albion begins five decades after the events of the last chapter, and you play as the child of your hero from Fable 2. As you rule your kingdom as king or queen, you will be called upon to make choices and sacrifices that will test your morality and can affect your entire kingdom.

“We’ve spent a lot of time at Lionhead thinking about how we can innovate the gameplay and progress the world of the Fable games for its third chapter, and we’re confident that players won’t second-guess what we have planned for Fable III,” said Molyneux, who also serves as creative director of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa for Microsoft Game Studios. “Though I can’t give too much away right now, players should expect to have to make much tougher choices with far wider consequences than ever before in Albion – and with many more interactive adventure elements.”

Check out the teaser trailer below and tell us what you think. Fable III is currently slated to be released sometime in 2010.
