Fable II Downloadable Content

“Fable II” adventures continue with downloadable content and free pack to release on Dec. 12, 2008

The epic journey begun in “Fable II,” the fastest selling RPG on Xbox 360, is not over. Starting mid-December, 2008, fans will be summoned back into Albion’s service with the release of the Knothole Island downloadable content pack. The remote island of Knothole is dying: its golden sands and lush vegetation are covered with snow, its people freezing, its treasures buried. Only a hero can face the trials of the three shrines to bring back the sunshine.

Following its release on Xbox 360 on Oct. 21, more than 1.5 million units of “Fable II” flew off store shelves worldwide in the first two weeks, making it the most popular game, across all platforms, in the U.S. in October. With the release of the first “Fable II” downloadable content, available exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points, gamers will be invited to set sail for Knothole Island, where new quests, wondrous items and bizarre characters await.

Also on Dec. 12, fans everywhere will be able to enhance their “Fable II” experience with the release of a free “Fable II” downloadable pack exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. To engage in co-op gameplay with a player who has already downloaded the Knothole Island content, gamers will need to download the free pack. Both co-op players must download the Knothole Island (Premium) pack in order to play new quests and enjoy the complete Knothole Island co-op experience.

Free and premium downloaders will receive a show of gifts, including Knight’s Boots, Assassins Gloves, a special Weight Loss Potion, collectible silver book and more. Players will also be able to check their standing in over 50 new Leaderboards on Lionhead.com.

As an additional treat for “Fable II” fans, Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios have created an all-new Albion dashboard theme in celebration of the launch of the New Xbox Experience. Fans who want to show off their “Fable II” pride can head over to Xbox LIVE Marketplace to download the Albion theme, available now for 250 Microsoft points.

Xbox 360 Review: Fable II

What makes a good game? One like Fable II, probably.

Not being a huge Xbox fan until late in its development, the original Fable had slipped by me without notice and I always regretted it…until I bought it on Xbox Originals and breezed through it in about a day or two, the problem was that it never felt like a finished product, like it had so much more to offer but never realising its potential…I’m glad to say that Fable II doesn’t make the same mistake.

Fable II To Have Online Co-op At Launch

A patch allowing online co-op play in Fable 2 will be available from day one.

Developers Lionhead announced last month that online co-op would miss the launch and be added later through an online patch. However, the firm has now confirmed that it will be available on the game’s release.

The RPG allows players to dynamically alter the world around them through their decisions, with online co-op allowing others to share those decisions with them.

Fable 2 is released on October 24, exclusively for the Xbox 360.
