Throughout all of Fable<\/a>‘s showcases and demonstrations this year, one aspect of it has proved difficult to figure out\u2014how big it’s going to be. The original Fable games were decently-sized, but not massive, and monster roleplaying games like Elden Ring<\/a> and Baldur’s Gate 3<\/a> have dramatically shifted expectations on what an RPG’s scope should be.<\/p>\n

But it turns out that Fable will stick closely to tradition when it comes to its size, with the caveat that players could potentially hang around in Playground’s RPG forever depending on how invested they become in the world they help to forge.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Polygon<\/a> in a Q&A session, associate game director Will Kennedy explained that Fable will have a total of around 40 hours of things to do in the world. “We have around 15-20 hours of mainline quest gameplay, we have around 15-20 of side and open-world exploration content gameplay,” Kennedy said.<\/p>\n
