Fable is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by Playground Games and published by Xbox Game Studios. Set in the fictional world of Albion, Fable represents the first new installment in the franchise since Lionhead Studios's Fable: The Journey in 2012. It is positioned as a reboot, to update the series with contemporary gameplay mechanics and visuals, and targeting a new generation of players. It is scheduled to be released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X and Series S, in Q3 or Q4 2026.

Development of Fable began after the closure of Lionhead Studios in early 2016 led to the cancellation of Fable Legends. Speculation about a new installment emerged in 2017 and gained traction with official confirmation during the Xbox Games Showcase in 2020.
