Microsoft delays Fable (again) to avoid GTA VI

微软再次推迟《神鬼寓言》(Fable) 发售,以避开《GTA VI》

Microsoft has delayed its upcoming Fable reboot once again. The game was set to launch in autumn 2026, but Microsoft now says that Fable will come out in February 2027. However, it will show a “new look” at the game at its Xbox Games Showcase on June 7th.

微软再次推迟了其即将推出的《神鬼寓言》(Fable) 重启版游戏。该游戏原定于 2026 年秋季发布,但微软现表示,《神鬼寓言》将推迟至 2027 年 2 月发售。不过,微软将在 6 月 7 日举行的 Xbox 游戏展示会上展示该游戏的“全新面貌”。

“This year is packed with incredible games for XBOX players to enjoy, from Halo: Campaign Evolved, Gears of War: E-Day and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 to Control Resonant, Star Wars: Galactic Racer and Grand Theft Auto VI,” Microsoft says on the Xbox account on X. “In order to plan our game launches through the holidays, in a way that works best for players, we’re moving Fable to February 2027 so it can have the dedicated moment it deserves. We’re excited to be giving players a major new look at Fable, as well as our broader lineup, at XBOX Games Showcase on June 7.”

“今年对于 Xbox 玩家来说是精彩游戏云集的一年,从《光环:战役进化》(Halo: Campaign Evolved)、《战争机器:E-Day》(Gears of War: E-Day) 和《使命召唤:现代战争 4》(Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4),到《控制:共鸣》(Control Resonant)、《星球大战:银河赛车手》(Star Wars: Galactic Racer) 以及《侠盗猎车手 VI》(Grand Theft Auto VI),应有尽有,”微软在 X 平台的 Xbox 官方账号上表示。“为了以最适合玩家的方式规划假期期间的游戏发布,我们将《神鬼寓言》移至 2027 年 2 月发售,以便让它获得应有的专属时刻。我们很高兴能在 6 月 7 日的 Xbox 游戏展示会上,为玩家带来《神鬼寓言》以及我们更广泛游戏阵容的全新展示。”

The fall gaming season is already getting pretty full. Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19th, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 was announced this week with an October 23rd release date, and Star Wars: Galactic Racer is set for October 6th. Presumably, Microsoft will share specific release dates for Halo: Campaign Evolved, Gears of War: E-Day, and other titles during the Xbox Games Showcase as well.

秋季游戏档期已经相当拥挤。《侠盗猎车手 VI》定于 11 月 19 日发售,《使命召唤:现代战争 4》本周宣布将于 10 月 23 日发布,而《星球大战:银河赛车手》则定于 10 月 6 日推出。据推测,微软也将在 Xbox 游戏展示会上公布《光环:战役进化》、《战争机器:E-Day》及其他作品的具体发售日期。

Fable, developed by Playground Games, was first announced in 2020 as a “new beginning” for the series. Years later, Microsoft gave it a planned release window of 2025, but later pushed that to 2026. It’s set to come to Xbox Series X / S, PC, and PS5 when it is released.

由 Playground Games 开发的《神鬼寓言》于 2020 年首次公布,被定位为该系列的“全新起点”。几年后,微软将其发布窗口定在 2025 年,但随后推迟至 2026 年。该游戏在发布时将登陆 Xbox Series X / S、PC 和 PS5 平台。

Microsoft also isn’t going to share news about Project Helix, the next-generation Xbox console, during the Xbox Games Showcase, Matt Booty, Xbox’s chief content officer, said in an episode of the Official Xbox Podcast released on Friday. Earlier this month, Microsoft promised that it would share more about Helix “later this year.”

Xbox 内容主管 Matt Booty 在周五发布的《官方 Xbox 播客》节目中表示,微软也不会在本次 Xbox 游戏展示会上分享有关下一代 Xbox 主机“Project Helix”的消息。本月早些时候,微软曾承诺将在“今年晚些时候”分享更多关于 Helix 的信息。
