New Fable III DLC announced

Plus, PC date finally confirmed.

A fresh set of Fable III downloadable content, titled Traitor's Keep, hits Xbox Live next week, publisher Microsoft has announced.

According to Major Nelson's blog, the DLC leads players into three new levels called Ravenscar Keep, Clockwork Island and the Godwin Estate, "taking on new quests and encountering a mysterious prisoner". There are 250 additional gamerscore points on offer too, as well as "additional content".

It's out on 1st March and will set you back 560 Points.

Nelson also confirmed that PC gamers will finally be able to get hold of Lionhead's largely excellent threequel from 19th May in Europe – two days after it launches in the US. It's been a long time coming but hopefully a PC-exclusive hardcore mode and full 3D functionality will help make up for it.

Finally, the Fable Coin Golf spin-off for Windows Phone 7 arrives next month. Apparently it "draws upon the wealth of traditional British pub games and lets you transfer gold earned in the game to your Fable III game on either Xbox 360 or Windows."

You can also unlock three exclusive weapons for use in the Traitor's Keep DLC.
