Unveiling Avowed: The Ultimate Game that Leaves Fable in Awe

The Xbox Games Showcase delighted fans with a wide array of first-party and third-party titles, as well as exciting releases on Xbox Game Pass. Among the highlights were the much-anticipated previews of Fable and Avowed. While fans eagerly soaked in the glimpses of gameplay for these games, the most significant revelation pertained to Xbox's current release schedule.

During the Showcase, Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, revealed to the press and special attendees that the studio aimed to deliver four releases per year. Achieving this goal is a process that takes time, but with the recent acquisitions and expansion of its studios, Xbox is inching closer to making it a reality. As for what's in store in the near future, fans can expect a clear roadmap for the headline-grabbing holiday games.

What We Know About Avowed and Fable's Release Dates

Avowed's presence at the Xbox Games Showcase, along with its confirmed release window, indicates that it is prioritized ahead of Fable. While delays are always a possibility, it is evident that Avowed is aiming to compete with Starfield as a game that drives console sales. On the other hand, Fable did not provide a release window during the showcase, suggesting that it is unlikely to be a 2024 game. It is more probable that Fable will be released in 2025, potentially taking the spot of either Avowed or Starfield in that year. The possibility of a 2026 release cannot be ruled out entirely, but it remains uncertain.

In the upcoming generation, there will be a range of games released between Starfield, Avowed, and eventually The Elder Scrolls 6. One of the main criticisms of the Xbox One generation was the lack of exclusive titles. However, this time around, it seems that will not be the case. Although fans will have to be patient, there are promising signs that this generation will offer a greater variety of exclusive games. The fact that Avowed is being released before Fable is beneficial for both games, as it allows each of them to fully embody the unique experiences their developers intend to deliver. Moreover, this is a positive development for the future of Xbox, highlighting the commitment to providing a strong lineup of games. While Avowed is set to be released in 2024, there is currently no specific release window for Fable.
