Fable II Downloadable Content Announced

Xbox 360

Lionhead Studios and Microsoft have revealed that the epic journey begun in Fable II, the fastest selling RPG on Xbox 360, is not over. From mid-December this year, fans will be summoned back into Albion's service with the release of the Knothole Island downloadable content pack. Following its release on Xbox 360 on October 21, more than 1.5 million units of the game flew off store shelves worldwide in the first two weeks.

With the release of the first Fable II downloadable content, available for 800 Microsoft Points, gamers will be invited to set sail for Knothole Island, where new quests, wondrous items and bizarre characters await. 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.

Also in mid-December, fans everywhere will be able to enhance their Fable II experience with the release of a complimentary downloadable pack that allows players to engage in co-op gameplay with a player who has already downloaded the Knothole Island content. 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 fifty new Leaderboards on Lionhead.com.

Finally, as an additional treat, 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.
