Fable, the upcoming open-world RPG from Xbox Game Studios and Playground Games, has been rated by content boards in South Korea and Australia. Fable has yet to receive an ESRB rating, but given that these two boards handed down similar classifications—both effectively equivalent to a Mature rating—fans should probably expect the ESRB to land in the same ballpark when the time comes.

The South Korean Ratings Board classified Fable as an 18+ title, which closely lines up with the ESRB's M for Mature 17+ category. The distinction there is almost certainly not enough to warrant the ESRB's rare AO (Adults Only Rating). The board specifically cited several reasons for the rating:

• Use of language that directly expresses sexual acts
• Frequent killing, bloodshed, and bodily mutilation using weapons determination
• Direct criminal acts based on user choices
• Excessive use of vulgar language and profanity

They're still maintaining at 2026 date for it, will probably see a new trailer and a release date at the upcoming showcase.

 

[Saber]

Online games? Is that what? Aways online or a type of DRM sign?

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Probably lots of same sex steaminess and bear loving going on

 

[MrRibeye]

In my mind Fable is whimsical fantasy, but after checking online and seeing how even the first Fable was rated 16+ this rating of 18+ for Fable 4 doesn't seem that bad, but still 18+ just sounds wrong for Fable, no?

* nightmare inducing creatures.

 

[clarky]

Rated M for Male: Use of female toliets by males is common.

Not unexpected, it is a fairytale afterall.

When will they stop casting Zendaya in everything?

 

[saintjules]

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Seeing the main character and saying "fuckin hell" doesn't constitute expressing a direct sexual act.

 

[Draugoth]

 

[DragonNCM]

Now this is character what I like to "play" with....

• Excessive use of vulgar language and profanity

Cringe millenial writing trying to sound badass.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Oh man, can't wait for her to directly express dropping a Cleveland steamer (or perhaps a donkey punch?)

 

[dottme]

yaa with that face it should be rated 30+

I'm above this age and I'm still traumatized by it. I think you need to raise this more.

Gonzito is woke thirst trap

 

[NeverYouMind]

Sharp knees thoough.

 

[uncreativename]

I hope at least that Richard Ayoade has a big role in the game, and it's not like Bethesda style Liam Neeson Patrick Stewart Matthew Perry five minutes or less onscreen

[viveks86]

This tame shit requires 18+?

• Use of language that directly expresses sexual acts
• Frequent killing, bloodshed, and bodily mutilation using weapons determination
• Direct criminal acts based on user choices
• Excessive use of vulgar language and profanity

Damn... does SK rating even have a level above that? What would happen to something like House of Dragon or Euphoria? 20 minute episodes?

 

[amigastar]

So when's the release date? Was it delayed or something?

 

[Sentenza]

Would.

 

[Fake]

With that man walking animation like a woman I expected lower.

 

[TheLikou]

yaa with that face it should be rated 30+

40+ because only a desperate guy will go for it.

 

[Lootlord]

Game should get a special rating for that.

I can already spoil the GAF timeline of how things will go on this forum post- game release, and that 'is it woke slop' thread is probably already pre-written in a notepad app for when that moment comes.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

If Naughty Dog designed her…

Gonzito is the woke destroyer. Join him in his beautiful war against uglynism.

Not enough blasianess there, bro, she looks way too white for cuckman to give her anytime of the day, he made that mistake once with abby and course- corrected quickly with intergalactic, his tastes evolved =D

Next ND game after intergalactic gonna have marathon/concord/jaguar comercial protag:


Btw, guess what happened to the Jaguar CEO who pushed and then defended that artrocious commercial despite overwhelming backlash from customers:

Jaguar CEO steps down after 'woke' rebrand sparked massive social media firestorm

Adrian Mardell is resigning as Jaguar CEO months after the automaker's polarizing ad campaign featuring androgynous models drew comparisons to Bud Light's controversy.

www.foxbusiness.com

The Jaguar CEO is stepping down months after leading a controversial "woke" rebrand campaign for the auto company.

Jaguar Land Rover CEO Adrian Mardell is set to retire after three decades at the luxury car company and serving as CEO for three years, a spokesperson for the automaker announced on Thursday, Reuters reported.

So what about character creation? This game has it right? Cause I will never play with that ugly mofo.

 

[SupremeJ]

"PC"
What don't you understand? The developers will soon announce that the Playstation version suddenly had a memory leak during development and it may come sometime in the future, maybe...

From what they showed, looks like you can pick from some pre-made heads and customize their hair and skin color.

And lots of us strongly suspect they added this late in development after everyone made fun of the ugly protagonist, and that's why it was delayed.

Any link? I hope they implemented sliders for feminine proportions.
