Experimental multiplayer mod for Fable Anniversary.
Join the AlbionTogether Discord for playtests, updates, and support.
One host can accept up to 64 guests (65 players total); the current alpha has been manually tested with six players. Players can load their own Heroes, explore Albion independently, and meet up anywhere. Remote Heroes keep their appearance, weapons, combat animations, emotes, and most Will spell effects.
The latest update improves loading different saves, travelling between regions, and shopkeeper stability.
During alpha, expect some jank. Systems are being roughly implemented to make a full multiplayer playthrough possible. Once the full game can be played by two or more people, development will move into beta and focus on polishing the experience toward release.
- Load your own save character and see each other.
- Walk around Albion independently and meet in any region.

This is an early development release. Back up ordinary saves before testing.
Some antivirus tools may flag the launcher or client because AlbionTogether injects the mod into the running game. This is expected to be a false positive for official releases downloaded from this repository.
AlbionTogether currently targets the 32-bit Steam build of Fable Anniversary.
- Download and extract the release into Fable Anniversary's
Binaries\Win32folder. - Run
AlbionTogether.Launcher.exe. - The host enters a display name and selects Host Game. Accept the firewall prompt if Windows shows one.
- Other players enter a display name, the host's IP address, and the same port, then select Join Game.
- Each player selects the save containing the Hero they want to use.
The default port is 38171. The launcher's Network page can test the connection and repair the Windows Firewall rule.
