Fable Legends (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/xbox-one/action/13333/fable-legends/) will have "huge presence" at E3, according to Lionhead.
Speaking at a UK press event on Monday, studio head John Needham said of the Xbox One (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/xbox-one/games/12528/xbox-one/) RPG: ""Fable Legends is an exciting title that's really fun already. We're building it with Unreal Engine 4 and that combined with Xbox One has resulted in us building I think one of the most beautiful games on the platform.
"We're super busy at the studio gearing up for E3. We're going to have a huge presence there. You can come to our booth and play. "

Lionhead has described the launch version of Fable Legends as "season one" (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/434688/fable-legends-launch-is-season-one-of-the-game/) of the game, with plans to evolve the title over five to ten years (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/429299/fable-legends-will-evolve-online-for-five-to-ten-years/).
Although Fable Legends will feature a strong online component, Lionhead has said it's "not an MMO" and can be played offline in single-player.
"You can play with other people in a four-player cooperative experience. Your party could be all human players, or a mix of players and AI-controlled Heroes," the studio explained last August (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/426098/fable-legends-is-the-only-core-fable-game-in-development/).
"You can switch easily between single player and multiplayer styles of play whenever you decide, or when a friend signs on. During a quest, you can elect to battle a human or an AI Villain."
Legends will also include "mini-games, pub games, and similar activities", some of which may use Kinect motion controls.
Lionhead has said that Fable Legends is the "only core Fable game" in development (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/426098/fable-legends-is-the-only-core-fable-game-in-development/), with no sequel to Fable 3 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/pc/games/11566/fable-iii/) planned. A Fable Legends beta test is planned for 2014.
