More Fable 2 DLC Announced


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 October 21, more than 1.5 million units of "Fable II" flew off store shelves worldwide in the first two weeks. 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 in mid-December, fans everywhere will be able to enhance their "Fable II" experience with the release of a complimentary "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, collectable 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.

I reckon the DLC should be free, since fable 2 didnt seem to be at its fullest at launch. Having free DLC is only gamers getting their moneys worth.

Yeah, but that comes down to the heart of the game developer, why spend time making stuff if they aren't gonna get anything out of it.

I say it should be cheaper. I mean, 800 MS points is a bit on the crazy expensive side and as much as it would make me pick up the game again, I'd probably end up just letting it die again. Though if they added new ACHIEVEMENTS...

That's why it was as cheap as it was on launch day, as they didn't quite package everything in there that they stated they would. I wonder if this DLC will be bug/glitch free?

Somehow this doesn't surprise me. Still doesn't make up for a lack lustre game. Should be cheap as chips, and if not it doesn't bother me. Nothing could bring me back to 'Nightmare Albion'
