Microsoft and Lionhead Studios have made Knothole Island available for both premium and free content download on Xbox Live Marketplace. Arriving just a little later than expected, the new content provides more a whole new area to let your hero go nuts, unless of course you have settled down with a family and a home in one of the existing areas of Albion. In this case you may just be content to sit on the porch in a rocking chair. For all the others, details from Microsoft follow: Since the local launch of “Fable II ” on October 24, more than two million gamers worldwide have embarked on a quest to reshape the world of Albion in the image of their hero, whilst the creators of Albion have been hard at work to bring Knothole Island to heroes worldwide. This new world is available today over the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 Microsoft points and includes new quests, weapons, and specialty shops available on this mysterious isle off the coast of Albion, as well as new quirky characters that inhabit it. In addition to the Knothole Island premium download, players everywhere are able to enhance their “Fable II” experience with a separate free content update* exclusively available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. The update will grant players access to some gifts from the fine people of Knothole Island and will enable them to continue the co-op action with their friends. Gifts include Knight’s Boots, Assassins Gloves, a special Weight Loss Potion, a collectable silver book and more. As an additional post-holiday treat for “Fable II” fans, Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios have created an all-new Knothole Island Premium Theme for the New Xbox Experience, available for 250 Microsoft points. Voyage over to Xbox LIVE Marketplace or Marketplace on the Web at http://www.xbox.com.au to download the theme. And, if all of that isn’t enough you can check out the latest instalment of the Lionhead Studio’s Video Diary Series, Video Diary Episode 8 on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, where the developers offer a sneak preview of Knothole Island and reveal some of the challenges faced in the final days of making “Fable II”. You can also check out Episode 8 at www.lionhead.com. * The free content update must be manually downloaded from Xbox LIVE. This update is included in the Knothole Island premium downloadable content pack, so players that purchase the Knothole Island do not need to separately download the content update. Internet charges apply. |
