Fable 2 looking likely for October

Molyneux suggests so in new video.

A new developer diary for Xbox 360 exclusive Fable 2 has offered a strong hint the game will be released in October.

The video is now showing over on Eurogamer TV. About a minute in, Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux is shown drawing a box round the word "OCTOBER" in a notebook.

Molyneux has previously told us to expect the game towards the end of the year, "when the leaves have a slight brownish tinge - but are still on the trees, if you see what I mean".

Microsoft has been putting the game down for a "holiday" release, but seeing as Thanksgiving means Americans start their holiday season in November, October seems to fit.

Lionhead's official spokesperson declined to comment on the video, but then she's a lot better at keeping secrets than Peter Molyneux.
