Fable collectible card game launches on July 11

It would appear that there can never be enough collectible card games, so Flaming Fowl Studios and Mediatonic are developing Fable Fortune, set in the Fable world. It will be tough to go against the already established games, such as Hearthstone, or the upcoming Gwent.

Here is what the developer has to say about the game:

Fable Fortune combines pioneering CCG systems with some of the franchise’s most cherished moments; featuring timeless heroes, despicable villains, armies of bemused (and conveniently expendable) peasants, and some good old fashioned, family-friendly necromancy.Choose from one of six heroes each sporting diverse powers and cards, and set forth to crush your opponents under a hobbe-nailed boot in either classic PVP mode, or the unique and fully integrated Co-op mode. Discover how the iconic Alignment mechanic can be used to shift heroes towards a good or evil path during play; transforming their powers, altering their card effects, and turning the tide of battle in one chicken-kicking* hand.

The game’s Steam page also says that you can “choose between Good and Evil to alter your special abilities and even the cards in your deck. Compete in leagues and events, or take on a boss with a friend in co-operative mode”.

There are several packs that will be available at launch, including the “Founder’s Pack”, priced at $14.99/€12.99/£9.99. The developer claims it contains “over $40 worth of in-game items”. Later in 2017 the game will go free-to-play, but it is expected to retain some features that you can pay for, such as card packs. The buyers of the “Founder’s pack” will also get the “Flaming Fowl” Trophy Card and the rare “Giant Egg” card.

The game launch date is announced as July 11, and it will be available on Xbox One and PC via Steam and Windows Store. Android and iOS version will follow at a later date.
