Fable 2 release date, also limited edition photo

Fans of Albion, sharpen your blades, for Lionhead's long-awaited Fable 2 is finally coming to the Xbox 360 on October 21 for US gamers and October 24 for Europeans.

Prior to the game's launch, the Fable-connected Pub Games title should be coming to Xbox Live on August 13. Pub Games will allow players to gamble and amass in-game money that they will then be able to take and spend in Fable 2. Priced at 800 MS Points, pre-ordering Fable 2 will be rewarded with a code to download Pub Games for nothing. 

The Limited Edition version of Fable 2 is looking like a rather sweet deal, as it comes with a DVD, a set of cards, a hobbe figurine and even an extra in-game dungeon. At £49.99, I'm pretty tempted myself. 

The day of judgement for Peter Molyneux's anticipated sequel draws near. Here's hoping it can live up to the hype.

That's a great price for a special edition, much better than the £70 GTAIV special edition, which sells for cheap on eBay now anyway.

That looks sexy. I might just get it, I'm not too sure though.

So whats that in real money? Also known as US dollars. *crosses fingers that Europeans have a sense of humor*

I'll probably pre-order it, since I planned on getting it eventually, and two of the three Pub Games were actually pretty good.

Damn, I wonder if the redeem code works if you order a PAL edition and have a US account :/

I pre-ordered the LE a few weeks back, I'm so pumped for this game that I'm actually even counting the days 'til the pub games hit. I love Fable, and I'm all for special editions that are actually, y'know, special... Between this and Fallout III, October looks like a mighty fine month...

I'll be holding out until about 6 months after its release date and hopefully picking it up for at least $20 cheaper.

a lot of big games hitting Oct. As much as I want Fable, I'm totally sold on Fallout 3 and LBP

I assume the extra dungeon is downloadable for cheapskate regular buyers.

I'm waiting for the PC version. The one with the extra content that got cut.

It's launching mere weeks after Fallout 3, I doubt I'll have time for Fable 2 until at least January.

Looks like a great edition, but I'll have to pass for now, since I never played the first game.

Looking forward to some Fable Co-op goodness in October!

BTW China's bootleg release date will be October 20th....or earlier depending on how soon it's leaked.

I'm stuck between the Fable 2 CE or the Fallout 3 CE. With Fallout 3 I get a lunch box, bobble head, keychain, soundtrack, book, Dvd and some other stuff.
But this, I get all that stuff above

Damn my limited cash supply

Maybe this time they'll actually release patches for the PC version instead of having a broken game that tons of people can't play.
