Fable Quest Trailer Ratio’d And Compared To Dragon Age

New Fable Gameplay Trailer Is Being Absolutely Torn To Shreds, Including Comparisons To The Veilguard Published Nov 13, 2026, 10:28 AM EST George is the Lead News Editor for TheGamer, and has been working in the industry since 2021 after graduating from the University of South Wales with a bachelor's degree in Journalism. He has also previously written for RPG Site, WhatCulture, and PlayStation Lifestyle. George is an expert on platformers, action games, and fighters, but tends to play as many releases as possible.

Some of the games George has extensively covered first-hand include Dead Rising, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and Ninja Gaiden 4. Xbox has just released a new gameplay trailer for Fable showing one of the game’s quests, but it might not have been the best showcase since it’s being bombarded with dislikes. Ever since the initial reveal trailer more than six years ago, Fable has easily been one of Xbox’s most highly anticipated games. That excitement has only increased with each gameplay showcase and trailer, which have shown just how far Playground Games has pushed the original trilogy’s mechanics, even if the reboot is leaving some things behind. Of course, while most people are looking forward to Fable, it’s also been a target for online hate campaigns ever since the second trailer. Recent showings of Fable, including one that was focused on combat, have notably had a lot of backlash, and that drama has all come to a head with the latest trailer for the game. Fable Official Quest Trailer Is Being Ratio’d And Torn Apart “Fable Age: The Veilguard” Earlier this week, the official Fable YouTube account shared a new trailer for the game that highlights a quest where the Hero and Arden investigate what’s happening to Oakshire. The gameplay admittedly isn’t the most exciting thing in the world, since it mostly just shows the Hero walking through the area, getting in a fight, and talking to Arden before a big plot tease at the end. While it’s not a great showcase, the quest trailer is pretty harmless overall in my opinion and not that noteworthy. People don’t seem to agree with that, though, as the trailer is being ratio’d on YouTube with 4,200 dislikes compared to 3,400 likes as of the time of writing and an incredibly negative comments section with some brutal reactions. One notable trend in the comments section is comparisons to Dragon Age: The Veilguard, with one popular comment calling it “Fable Age: The Veilguard”. Others are simply calling it out as a “disappointing” trailer that ended too soon and didn’t really show anything of substance. As one user puts it, “Is that really the best they can show?” The Fable account is definitely seeing these negative comments too, as it’s heart-reacted the few positive ones praising the voice acting and graphics. It’s not just the YouTube video that’s being slammed, either, as Xbox CEO Asha Sharma’s post about the trailer on Twitter is also full of backlash and the usual “Sweet Baby Inc” comments over two female characters. Some of it is clearly bad faith, but I’d be very hard-pressed to say the footage was worthy of a trailer.
