Lionhead and Microsoft are ready to roll out the Knothole Island DLC pack for Fable 2 on January 13th. The price is 800p, while a couple of items will be available for free for all users. A couple of images with these news were also released.
Microsoft press release:
Since the North American launch of “Fable II” on Oct. 21, more than two million gamers worldwide have embarked on a quest to reshape the world of Albion in the image of their hero. While gamers have been fast at work behind the Xbox 360 controller, the creators of Albion have been hard at work to bring Knothole Island to heroes worldwide on Jan. 13. Releasing over Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 Microsoft points, Knothole Island will introduce all-new adventures in “Fable II,” the winner of numerous industry awards including G4TV X-Play’s Game of the Year.
In the latest installment of Lionhead Studio’s Video Diary series, the developers reveal some of the challenges they faced in the final days of making “Fable II” and offer a sneak preview of Knothole Island. Senior Programmer Jonathan Shaw and fellow members of the team hint at the new quests, weapons, items and specialty shops available on this mysterious isle off the coast of Albion, as well as some of the quirky characters that inhabit it.
Also on Jan. 13, fans everywhere will be able to enhance their “Fable II” experience with a free content update* exclusively available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. The free update will grant players a handful of gifts from the fine people of Knothole Island and will enable those who haven’t purchased Knothole Island downloadable content to continue the co-op action with their friends. Some of the fun items include: Knight’s Boots, Assassins Gloves, a special Weight Loss Potion, a collectible silver book and more. The update will also enable players to check their standing in over 50 new Leaderboards on Lionhead.com.
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 on Xbox LIVE Marketplace or Marketplace on the Web at http://marketplace.xbox.com.

Commented on 2009-01-08 18:44:59 In reply to Megidoit'd have to offer a good 10 hours of non-repetative/boring gameplay to make this worth while. cos that was what 99% of the core fable 2 game was and i really dont want to endure any more of that.
Commented on 2009-01-08 19:14:31I hope there are new trolls to hunt down too, but just the new changing cenery, quests and cool armor and items are enough to get me vastly exited
Drooling material

Commented on 2009-01-09 00:56:37Too bad Fable isn't as dependent on an online community otherwise they might fix it
Commented on 2009-01-09 01:09:37Funny how you guys seem less bothered about Fallout 3's millions of glitches though, including the Moriarty glitch, which is basically exactly the same thing as the Abbot problem. Moriarty doesn't appear if you visit the school before going to Megaton, making it *impossible* to progress with the main quest without restarting the game.
Not trying to claim Fable is perfect, but both games share very similar problems, and I personally enjoyed Fable far more than Fallout, and unlike Fable, Fallouts don't appear to be being fixed anytime soon, despite the fact there's also new content for that coming. Why are you critisising one and not the other?
Give it a rest, trolls.

Commented on 2009-01-09 11:58:19It's annoying, but the sheer charm of the game is enough to keep you going, especially when your wives start arguing because you forgot that one wife's favourite place is where the other one lives!)

Commented on 2009-01-10 11:06:11Get your dog back? You mean you didn't choose love? Honestly, the two other choices were pretty meh :/ 1mil gold = useless if you had enough mind to buy some real estate, and resurrecting some virtual people you didn't even know isn't that altruistic :) That aside, Fable 2 was pretty fun game in the end but so was oblivion and I have yet to download anything other than knights of the 9 -.-
