Fable is an
action role-playing video game, the first in the
Fable series. It was developed for the
Xbox,
Microsoft Windows, and
Mac OS X platforms by Big Blue Box Studios, a satellite developer of
Lionhead Studios, and was published by
Microsoft Studios. The game shipped for the Xbox in September 2004. An extended version of the game,
Fable: The Lost Chapters, was released for the Xbox and Windows in September 2005. A
port of the game for Mac OS X, created by
Robosoft Technologies and published by
Feral Interactive, was released in March 2008 after a delay of more than two years due to licensing issues.
Originally developed under the name
Project Ego,
Fable's development involved more than 150 people. The game's music was composed by
Russell Shaw, with the opening title theme written by
Danny Elfman. The game's release was widely anticipated, due in part to Lionhead cofounder
Peter Molyneux's enthusiastic hype of the game.
Fable was well received by critics for the quality of its
gameplay and execution, though the failure to include many promised
features was noted.
Fable was the top-selling game of September 2004 and sold more than two million units by 2007. The game was followed by two sequels,
Fable II in 2008 and
Fable III in 2010.
Fable Anniversary, a
high-definition remake of the game that includes
The Lost Chapters, was released for the
Xbox 360 in February 2014.
