Is It Better? Online Community Compares Heroine's Appearance from Fable 2023 Trailer and New Video

Recently, Microsoft announced the delay of the new Fable release to 2026. Alongside this news, the company showcased fresh gameplay footage featuring the main heroine. Gamers decided to see if the developers improved the character's appearance after it was criticized online in 2023.

Here's how the heroine looked in the 2023 trailer:

And here she is in the new video:

Many online users believe the latest video shows a significant improvement in appearance. Here's what gamers are saying:

"Looks a hell of a lot better and less SHRECK-ish. I thought the first trailer was more like a trailer for a SHREK spin-off then the next title in this IP," — LegoGuru2000.

"Better but still needs work," — Eldritch Boggart.

"It is improved, and it may still improve further by release time. However, the damage via bad marketing for over a year has already been done, and many will not give them the benefit of the doubt," — CassiusVictus.

"Meh, better, (was already better in a previous trailer last year) but I don't understand why we can't customize our own character in this RPG. I guess they're going for a more narrative-driven thing where this specific character is central to the plot or something like that?" — TheDezembro.

"They're reversing course, which is good as it shows they're learning. Unfortunately, the damage is already done. This industry, like it or not, is built on trust; if gamers don't trust developers, they'll fail," — One Eyed Jack Gaming.

To recap, the new Fable is being developed for PC and Xbox Series X/S. The project is based on the ForzaTech engine.
