Fable Legends is the latest game in the long running Xbox Fable fantasy series from developer Lionhead, and today during Microsoft's E3 2014 media event it was revealed that the new game will get a multiplayer beta before launching exclusively on the Xbox One console later in 2014.
While previous Fable games concentrated on campaign themed role playing, Fable Legends will be a four player co-op game that can only be played online, as players take on typical roles such as the ranged shooter, the mage and more. More importantly, the game will support a fifth player which will be a villain character that the other four players will have to defeat.
There's no specific date for when the multiplayer beta test will begin, and there's also no word on when the final version will be released.
