Game Tone

'We've steered away from anything that's too crude' — Fable associate game director says the series' staple British humour was 'crucial' and 'the real test for Fable when it comes to the tone is that it does just have to be funny'

Associate game directors for the upcoming Fable reboot, Craig Littler and Will Kennedy, emphasized that the series' signature British humour is a crucial element that will be integrated across all game systems. They stated that while the humour is present in dialogue, story, and even combat, the team has deliberately steered away from anything too crude to ensure it lands well with a modern audience. The developers highlighted the importance of great writing and talented actors, including British comedians, to achieve the desired tone.
