Fable 2 DLC Coming Mid-December, Game Sales Exceed 1.5 Million Copies

15
Update: Microsoft tells Shacknews that the December 12 date included with the original announcement was incorrect, clarifying that the content is due in mid-December.

The first bit of premium-priced downloadable content for Lionhead's open-world action-RPG Fable II (360) will arrive on December 12, publisher Microsoft has revealed.

Priced at 800 Microsoft Points ($10), the Knothole Island DLC pack adds the remote island of Knothole to the game. As Microsoft put it, Knothole is "where new quests, wondrous items and bizarre characters await."

In addition, a free download pack will arrive on the same day, rewarding players with "show of gifts, including Knight's Boots, Assassins Gloves, a special Weight Loss Potion, collectible silver book and more."

The free download will also enable players to play co-op with someone who has already bought the Knothole Island content, though both players will have to purchase the Knothole Island pack in order to play in that area together.

An Xbox 360 exclusive, Fable 2 sold over 1.5 million units worldwide in the two weeks following its October 21 debut, Microsoft noted in today's announcement. Read on for more details of the Knothole Island DLC, including its new dungeons.

  • Embark on 3 unique quests set in 3 unique dungeons.
  • Unravel the mystical secrets of the resurrection shrine.
  • Try on a whole new range of outfits and look like an armoured knight, an assassin, a barbarian or a leather-clad biker, among many others.
  • Brandish 6 new weapons.
  • Dozens of unique potions that will drastically alter your appearance.
  • Customise your weapons the way you want with the new augment tool and a whole new array of augments.
  • +50 additional leaderboards.

        Whats odd is I remember when that was the big thing and people would scramble for it until they put an end to it (and tbh it basically just took up space).
