Fable 3’s cast was so stacked it changed AAA games

These days, it’s not rare to see A-list actors appear in major video games. Giancarlo Esposito in Far Cry 6. Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk 2077. J.K. Simmons in Baldur’s Gate 3. Half of Hollywood in Death Stranding 2. While such casting announcements are par for the course in 2025, the trend itself kicked off in earnest 15 years ago, with the release of Lionhead Studios’ Fable 3.
