Fable II DLC in Dec.

Lionhead and Microsoft announced that, starting mid-December, fans will be able to download the Knothole Island downloadable content pack for Fable II. The story goes that 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 (perhaps you?) can face the trials of the three shrines to bring back the sunshine. With the release of the first “Fable II” downloadable content, available for 800 Microsoft Points, gamers will be able to enter Knothole Island, where new quests, new items and bizarre characters await.

Also in mid-December, fans will be able to score a free Fable II downloadable pack - you’ll need this if you want to play co-op in the Knothole Island content. Free and premium users will also receive several 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 to celebrate 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.
