Microsoft and Lionhead have made some announcements regarding Fable II. These include host of details regarding the package contents and the release of a Collector’s Edition. One of these is obviously a price tag of 80 bucks. Fable II Collector’s Edition will come with a bonus disc (which will include a video of the behind-the-scenes making of video). A collectible Hobbe figure, and an Xbox Live trial card are some of the other freebies that gamers can expect. And the in-game content remains mysterious but what is known is that gamers would be required to have Xbox Live account and hence the free trial card.
Also announced are some of the details of the standard edition, which by the way would be $20 cheaper. Three mini gambling games – Keystone (combination of craps and roulette), Spinnerbox (a take on slot machines) and Fortune’s Tower (a luck style of game) – would be available on both the game’s versions. But these mini-games would actually be made available in August itself. The Collector’s Edition of Fable II is available for pre-order and those who go for it would have free access to the Live Arcade compilation, which otherwise would cost 800 Microsoft Points ($10). Release date of Fable II is unconfirmed as of now; nonetheless expect it no later than October.
