GDC 09: Fable II 'See the Future' DLC coming this spring photo

A new expansion is coming to Fable II soon -- as in “weeks,” soon. Peter Molyneux recently sat down with Kotaku during GDC and spilled some tiny beans on the previously hinted, aptly named downloadable content, ‘See the Future.’  

“The next DLC comes out in the spring,” Molyneux said. “We're in the spring now so don't think months, think more like weeks. It's called See the Future."

“This time we've taken a little bit more time on it, it's a little bit more story driven. It answers some of the questions, if you're a real fan of Fable, it answers some of those questions," Moylneux added after he said that the ‘Knothole Island’ DLC was rushed. "It's going to test you a little bit emotionally as well. But I think the real unique thing here is it starts to tease and hint at what it starting to happen in the world of Albion and what is happening in the future."

Downloadable content that that has meaning is always a must purchase in my book. Hopefully, in addition to the teasing of bigger things to come, we'll get access to a potion that makes characters larger. There's absolutely no reason why our heroes can't be bigger than houses. No reason at all.

So the Epilogue of Fable 2 I'm assuming. Well It'll have some work to do, to be worse than KHI.

I hate the way Molyneux forms his sentences. It always feels like his thoughts are just swimming around in his head, and that they aren't entirely prophetic thoughts.

So it's just some average guy, who thinks he's deep as hell, spewing average bullshit that ends up being average by averages standards.

Though I love Fable II, he needs to actually do something revolutionary if he expects me to listen to him mindlessly babble about magical shit he isn't actually doing anymore.

I wonder what Halo universe thing will be "Fable'd" in this one. I have Hal's armour, sword and his gun.

Hal's pistol? Hal's spartan kantana? Hal's scope augment? Hal's place? Hal's hammer? Hal's grunt gas mask for your dog?

That's a real, real terrible attitude and insane market speak when you essentially call your previous DLC rubbish and say "how great this new one is going to be".

"Didn't like Fable 1, wait til you see The Lost Chapters!.
"Didn't like The Lost Chapters? Wait until you see Fable 2!
"Didn't like Fable 2? Wait until you see Knothole island!.

What an asshat.

Yeah, Knothole was neat, but not amazing. Super big sidequest stuff. Assault rifle is pretty pimp though...

I'm definitely looking forward to this one. If I can have either 1) The restoration of Oakvale to former glory or 2) a chance at the man that fucked it up for everybody I'll be pretty happy.

Magnalon took the words right out of my mouth. Weren't we told that Knothole Island was going to be amazing? And now he says it was rushed?

Really makes me glad I didn't buy it. May also pass on this newly announced one as well...'cause I'm guessing there'll be another one down the road that supposedly blows it out of the water.

superezekial is right on point. Molyneux is nothing but an average guy who promises the world and delivers much less. He's far too impressed with himself and his unreasonable (because he always fails) goals are completely unrealistic. Don't believe the hype.

I for one loved Fable 2, it had its glitches, but I never experienced the game crashing glitches that some have. Overall it was a really fun game and I thought the story was pretty solid. The Knothole Island DLC was, regrettably short, but it was still fun while it lasted. I will be buying the new expansion for sure.
