Don't panic! Fable 2 DLC is NOT free photo

There has been a little confusion this morning over Fable 2's recently released Knothole Island DLC, thanks to the Live Marketplace Web site claiming that a non-premium "free" version existed. Just in case you thought this was one of the signs of the apocalypse -- Microsoft being generous -- don't worry, MS has reassured everyone that Knothole Island has no freebie version.

The "free" version to which the site refers is an update which allows those who have not bought Knothole Island to continue playing co-op with friends who have. Also, as a small concession, players will be able to nab a few freebie DLC items, such as Knight's Boots, Assassin's Gloves, a weight loss potion, a silver book and access to fifty new leaderboards on lionhead.com.

The new content released today, and it is being said that the 800 Point package will take "probably over four hours" to complete if you choose to find everything in the game.

This is going to be the first game I buy my own DLC for.

Yeah I might be with you there Haildar. That and Fallout 3 may just force me into buying MS Points.

@Noah

The article states that it will allow you to keep playing with people who have it; not play Knothole for free with them online. Unless you mean on the same screen at a friend's house, then I apologize.

I downloaded the freedie bit today to get my free presents, but I'm not sure about downloading the add-on. I love this game and really want the add-on but 800 points is a lot.

It's a lot, it really is, but I'll probably get it. I just love me some Fable.
