Fable II online co-op for launch News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Lionhead has confirmed that a patch enabling online co-op in Fable II will go live tomorrow, 21st October.
That's according to the Lionhead community blog, which has provided running updates on the multiplayer feature that once looked likely to be missing at launch.
Fable II will be released across Europe this Friday, after much talk of dogs and emotions and shooting husbands and revolutionary this and simplified that.
Thankfully, this time, Peter Molyneux appears to have delivered the goods.
Head over to our Fable II review for an overwhelming tale of success.

Does 'free' mean you don't need a Live subscription or does it simply mean you don't have to pay for the patch?
Forgive me if I'm wrong but can't you download patches for games on a Silver Live account which costs nothing? |

You can download the patch but you can't play multiplayer on a Silver account.
Good point. So it makes no odds to people who aren't on Live anyway! Unless it activates system link multiplayer as well? |

I've heard that if you're connected to Xbox LIVE and playing Fable II you see others who are playing the game as glowing orbs of light. While it's a nice idea, I hope you can turn this off as I have no interest in playing Fable II co-operatively, although I did say that I'd play the game that way with my nephew when he gets the game for Christmas.

Free shouldn't even be mentioned, of course it's free. Excellent that it's there for launch.

WTF are you on about Les/Jedi?
Its 'free' because its not post-release paid-for DLC. Whats so fucking difficult to understand about that? |

"I've heard that if you're connected to Xbox LIVE and playing Fable II you see others who are playing the game as glowing orbs of light. While it's a nice idea, I hope you can turn this off" It has 3 options: Off, Friends Only and All. The All option is rumoured to be capped at 60 but i don't know if this has been confirmed anywhere. |

"When is the Live Co-op gameplay going to be reviewed on EG? "
Absolutely agree on this - AFAICT it's drop-in, shared-screen and the second player is a "henchman", gold and exp can be split in various ways (and player 2 takes this back to their own game) but as to the players likeness etc. I dunno. EG? Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease... |

The players do NOT use their own likeness you use a generic henchmen, that will be modified by your own characters attributes, so he'll be a similar sort of character, but it won't be you.
