Though a specific release date has not yet been confirmed, it's probably reasonable to presume that Fable will be released prior to November, so as to avoid being swallowed up by the impending release of Grand Theft Auto 6 on November 19.

And I think as a game developer, the most important thing to me is that the greatest number of people play my games as possible. That's what we're in this for. I think that's true of most developers. We want the largest number of people to experience our games and enjoy them."
