Lionhead and Microsoft have opened up beta registration for Fable Legends, meaning brave heroes ready to join together and save the world of Albion can now take their first steps toward glory.

To register for the beta, head over to the Fable Legends website and enter your email address. Confirm it by clicking the appropriate link provided in a follow-up email. Lastly, link your Xbox Live account.

It's not clear if those who register are guaranteed entry, but we imagine we'll find out more as we inch closer and closer to October 16th, the beta's start date.

Fable Legends is a multiplayer-centric entry in the traditionally single-player Fable series, where four players take on the role of customizable heroes while another controls the world's monsters and traps. There has not been a final release date yet announced.
