Fable’s Chicken Obsession Goes Even Deeper Than We Imagined
Microsoft and Playground Games have announced preorder bonuses for the Fable reboot, continuing the franchise’s legendary obsession with chickens. The standout preorder incentive is a “legendary” chicken suit costume complete with beak, feathers, and what the official description humorously describes as “questionable dignity.”
Beyond the poultry-themed outfit, preorder bonuses include a Wild Flower Bouquet designed to assist with romantic endeavors, a toy chicken figurine, and a picnic hamper. According to the official item descriptions, these gifts serve gameplay purposes within the world—allowing players to bestow them on NPCs to shape how others perceive their hero, improve their reputation, and unlock relationships that may or may not lead to true love.
The chicken-focused preorder campaign underscores the Fable franchise’s well-established reputation for quirky, poultry-centric humor and references. By featuring a chicken costume as the primary preorder perk, Playground Games demonstrates a clear commitment to honoring this beloved aspect of the franchise’s identity while introducing the reboot to new players.
