Fable II Knothole Island date clarified News

11 December, 2008

Lionhead has told Eurogamer that the Knothole Island DLC for Fable II will definitely arrive on 22nd December, and not 12th December as was first thought.

A spokesperson told us the original date, which we lifted from Xbox.com, was a "mistake". The site now says "mid-December".

Knothole Island costs 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60) and adds a whole new area stuffed full of quests and tricky decisions to explore.

Alongside the DLC will be a co-op patch to enable those with Knothole Island to play alongside those without. However, all Knothole Island content will be off limits unless both parties have forked out for the pack.

On top of that, Lionhead is bestowing some festive gifts on those downloading Knothole Island or the free co-op patch. These include Knight's Boots, Assassin's Gloves, a Weight Loss Potion, collectible book and more.

Pop into our Fable II Knothole Island gallery for the first wintery shots.

Thanks, videogaming247.

How can the book be collectable if everyone has it?

Since the patch I seem to have a loading bug that freezes the game when loading some areas.

How about fixing that before selling me new content?

Are you sure it's the game itself and not your xbox/game disk?

I am really looking forward to playing this. Assuming I can keep it on for longer than 5 minutes without it crashing.

Um, that link to "your" gallery in fact points to xbox.com. Is it supposed to do that?

"How can the book be collectable if everyone has it?"

The meaning of the word collectable has clearly been forever ruined for future generations by stupid overpriced game editions.

@muscleblade:

Yeah; if you check your achievements list on Xbox LIVE and drill down into Fable 2 you'll see that they've already added the new achievements to the list - an extra 100 points are available. We... erm... just can't do anything about it.
