Fable Legends began development in the summer of 2012 and was announced on 20 August 2013 with a cinematic trailer directed by Ben Hibon and narrated by Michael Gambon as the Villain. The first revealed gameplay footage was shown on 9 June 2014 with gameplay performed on stage by the development team. A limited, closed multiplayer beta began on 16 October 2014.
The game was intended to have a 5–10 year lifecycle, and to be integrated into the cloud features of the Xbox One. SmartGlass features would have allowed villain players to make their plan of attack before a quest.
On 21 January 2015, Microsoft announced Fable Legends would also be released on Windows 10, exclusive to the Windows 10 Store. The game would feature cross-platform multiplayer between Microsoft Windows and Xbox One. Also support for DirectX 12 would be added with the game's release.
On 26 February 2015, Lionhead confirmed that the game would use a free-to-play model. In an announcement on 14 December 2015, the game was officially delayed to 2016, so as to give additional time for Lionhead Studios to polish the game. An open beta was announced on the same day, and was set to be available in the first or second quarter of 2016.
On 7 March 2016, Microsoft announced the cancellation of the game and the closure of Lionhead Studios. The game's beta ended on 13 April 2016, with players who had purchased in-game gold receiving full refund from all in-game purchases
