Console tribe news - Annunciati i primi DLC per Fable 2

di: Antonio "Difio" Di Finizio

LionHead ha pensato bene di andare incontro verso tutti coloro che hanno già finito Fable 2, uno dei maggiori capolavori usciti quest’anno su Xbox360, sviluppando inediti DLC che saranno rilasciati il 12 Dicembre 2008 al prezzo di 800 Microsoft Point (circa 9?). I DLC ci permetteranno di accedere all’isola di Knothole dove ci attenderanno nuove quest, nuovi nemici, nuovi oggetti e una nuova storia: salvare l’isola dall’avanzare dei ghiacci perenni. Ma la sorpresa non finisce qui: a metà Dicembre circa, sarà rilasciato un pack gratuito la cui funzione sarà quella di venire incontro a coloro che vogliono partecipare ad una sfida co-op con un amico che ha scaricato il pack a pagamento. Infatti il pack gratuito andrà a sbloccare in ogni caso l’isola di Knothole per la co-op, ad eccezione del fatto che non saranno disponibili le nuove quest. Detto in parole povere, quindi, per fare una partita co-op giocando alle nuove quest, entrambi i giocatori dovranno possedere il pack a pagamento, mentre se vorremmo scorrazzare in giro, ci basterà il pack gratuito.

Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios Announce First Fable II Premium Downloadable Content



?Fable II? adventures continue with downloadable content and free pack to release on Dec. 12, 2008

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 Oct. 21, more than 1.5 million units of ?Fable II? flew off store shelves worldwide in the first two weeks, making it the most popular game, across all platforms, in the U.S. in October. 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 free ?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, 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 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.

?Fable II? is exclusively available on Xbox 360 and is rated ?M? for Mature by the ESRB. Please visit: www.xbox.com/fable2 or www.lionhead.com/fable2 for more information.
