'Fable Fortune' Leaving Early Access this Week
"Fable Fortune," the collectible card game based on Lionhead's storied "Fable" franchise is finally leaving Early Access this week. According to developer Flaming Fowl Studios, the game will be launching as a free-to-play title on Thursday, Feb. 22 for the Xbox One and PC.
Starting out as a Kickstarter project back in 2016, the game entered Early Access in July of 2017 for the aforementioned platforms. Obviously, it has undergone a number of major changes since its debut adding, among other things, a new emote system that enables players to fart at their opponents.
Flaming Fowl used the community feedback garnered during Early Access to tweak and balance the game as well as add number of new features. The studio also implemented a handful of bug fixes to prepare it for a full release.
