The game that started it all: Fable. I think it’s been a long time coming with all these other high profile games getting released in HD – Devil May Cry, Silent Hill, Halo, etc. It was only a matter of time before Fable got a HD makeover and that time is finally here.

Announced yesterday by Microsoft Studios and Lionhead Studios is Fable Anniversary. While no set release date has been given, it’s expected to launch this holiday season and I couldn’t be happier. The Fable Anniversary HD overhaul will feature a new interface, a new save system, achievements (yes!), near instant load times, HD graphics, and even leaderboards so you and your friends can see who can kick the chicken the most distance.

I’m really excited to see this coming to the Xbox 360, I’d almost have expected them to wait until the Xbox One to do this but they didn’t. Now, if we can only get Microsoft to make an HD Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic and Jade Empire. I would be complete set then.

For the official teaser announcement trailer,

Again, no release date has been confirmed but we will keep you updated will all things Fable Anniversary.
