New Fable Ditches One of Players' Most Loved Elements

Fable Reboot Overlooks Iconic Dog Companion for Emphasis on Moral Choices and Exploration

Many players of Lionhead Studios’ classic RPGs, Fable 2 and Fable 3, fondly remember their loyal dog companion, who discovered treasures, warned of enemies, and offered unwavering support. However, in Playground Games' upcoming reboot, this feature will not be included. Ralph Fulton at Playground Games explained that the dog companion was omitted for development reasons.
