Fable SeriesFable (2027) is a reboot of the series Lionhead Studios began on Xbox in 2004, "not a remake or a sequel", so no earlier Fable game is needed to play it. The trilogy was Fable, Fable II and Fable III; Lionhead closed in 2016.
Order of the HeroFable: Order of the Hero is a story expansion coming after Fable's launch, set in a new region of Albion where the Hero uncovers an ancient cult and becomes its "newest celebrity overseer"; it comes with the Premium Edition, the Collector's Edition and the Premium Upgrade, and has no date yet.
