Fable Won't Demand Over 100 Hours of Your Time on PS5
Push Square • • technology
Key Points:
- The new Fable game from Playground Games aims for a more modest playtime, aligning with the original trilogy's length rather than the extended durations common in modern RPGs.
- Associate game director Will Kennedy stated the main questline offers about 15-20 hours of gameplay, with an additional 15-20 hours of side and open-world exploration content.
- The game includes life simulation features like marrying townsfolk and buying houses, which could extend playtime indefinitely for players who choose to immerse themselves in these activities.
- This playtime approach mirrors previous Fable titles, which typically have around 13 hours for main quests but longer durations when including side content, contrasting with longer RPGs like Fallout.
- The game's shorter length may be strategic, aiming to stand out during its February 2027 launch alongside other major titles like God of War Laufey and Persona 4 Revival.
