This week's Xbox Live Store deals include an older game from one of the most acclaimed developers of all time. Peter Molyneux's Fable 2 is one sale for 50% off, taking it down to a thrifty $9.99 here in the US. The sale also includes two DLC add-ons for the game, Knothole Island and See the Future. The former is $4.99 and the latter will set you back $3.49. These titles will be on sale until February 17.
Lionhead’s fantasy role-playing game, Fable II, pulled a Houdini and completely vanished from the Xbox Live Marketplace earlier yesterday. For a short time, no one could view the title through either the “Games on Demand” tab or Fable II episodes on both Live and Xbox.com. Luckily, things are back to normal.
Fable II was one of those games that I anticipated for its co-op and was severely let down...so I determined that I would wait for a good deal and buy it for its single-player gameplay.
Lionhead has officially announced Fable III today at Gamescom in Germany. The game takes place 50 years after the events of Fable 2 where you'll play your Fable II character's child on a quest to become the ruler of Albion. We've been teased all week on the official Lionhead site for the announcement, being shown pictures of great rulers and quotes.
This week's Xbox Live Deal of the Week for Gold Members only is the Fable 2 Knothole Island expansion pack. The DLC pack is 30%, which knocks its 800 price down to 560 .
Peter Molyneux has asked us an important question today, one that I hope fans of cooperative games will stand up and answer. Via his Twitter, Molyneux asks:
Awwwwwwwwww, look at the puppy! Screw seeing the future in the latest Fable 2 DLC, I want to see more PUPPIES!
Lionhead has let the cat out of the bag on the release date for the See the Future DLC for Fable 2. The brand new add-on will hit Xbox Live on May 12th and will cost 560.
While we still don't know a date for the next Fable 2 expansion pack, we do know it'll come with new achievements, much like Knothole Island.
With the announcement of Fable II's DLC, titled See the Future, Lionhead Studios' Peter Molyneux couldn't resist giving a statement. The DLC title suggests two things. First, Theresa, the Seer character, will be worth keeping an eye on, since her job is 'unveiling the future.' And second, there is likely a bright future for the Fable franchise itself. So, what did Peter Molyneux have to say about it?
Lionhead has priced and dated the next set of downloadable content for Fable 2. The See the Future pack will be released this May for 560 and once again will require players to download the free update pack if they wish to play with someone who purchased it in co-op.
Fable 2's Knothole Island content was pretty successful, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that more downloadable content is planned for the game. IGN sat down with Peter Molyneux to discuss the game and where it's going.
