New “Fable II” Launch Trailer Hits Xbox LIVE Marketplace

T-minus four days before “Fable II” embarks upon its long awaited journey to retailers throughout North America on Oct. 21, 2008 and Europe on Oct. 24, 2008. In anticipation of the “Fable II” experience hitting store shelves, today Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios released a new “Fable II” trailer over Xbox LIVE Marketplace. “Fable II” is the sequel to the award-winning “Fable,” and features a deep and enriching tale of adventure, companionship and infinite choice, developed exclusively for Xbox 360, by legendary video game developer Peter Molyneux.

Click here to download the launch trailer and click here to open a streaming version.

“Fable II” offers players the opportunity to choose their own destinies as they traverse through the expansive world of Albion where the possibilities are limitless and every decision and interaction will weigh heavily on the path to becoming a hero or villain. Innovative combat, a loyal dog companion, thrilling quests and the ability to play co-op with a friend are just the tip of the iceberg in this exciting new chapter of the “Fable” franchise.

Can’t wait four days? Gamers can get a head start on their “Fable II” experience by testing their luck in the “Fable II” Pub Games, available for 800 MS Points on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Developed exclusively for “Fable II,” the Xbox LIVE Arcade title contains three high stakes, casino-style pub games that challenges players to wager their gold to strike fortune or win treasures in preparation for the release of “Fable II.”

“Fable II” will have an estimated retail price of $59.99 and is rated “M” for Mature. For more information, visit http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/f/fable2/.

	toddquest said: This is the kind of video that I can show to friends and family and they'll get it. Awesome job. This will keep me going for the weekend October 17, 2008 12:34 PM
	ErodeTheSoul said: ***, Sam, that was FANTASTIC! I'm really glad you used gameplay and showed off just how gorgeous this game actually is; made me want it even more.....if that's even possible at this point. Excellent work!! October 17, 2008 12:48 PM
	GuruUnlimited said: I can manage the zip file, but unfortunately, Linux doesn't handle .wmv files as well as one might like. It would be nice to have an alternative version (*.avi.tar.gz?). I'm converting it to AVI right now, will see how it is once the process is done. (I don't have a Windows machine, want a resolution, and my XBox is being repaired at Microsoft..)

	Beowulf71 said: job Sam! October 17, 2008 1:02 PM
	GuruUnlimited said: Bleh, still doesn't work properly. Frustration. At least there's the YouTube version. That said, the trailer is awesome. It shows a great variety of the game (how different your hero can look, snippets at different types of combats.. and even more, in my opinion, the gorgeous areas). It's very appealing. Likely enough to snag gamers, and yet, it barely even scrapes the surface of the game. Sure, it's an action/adventure RPG... but it is so much more. And I think it would offer an excellent discovery to anyone unknowing of the game's depth, to start playing it and realize just how complex everything is. October 17, 2008 1:11 PM
	RexVulturum said: I thoroughly enjoyed that. I know I'll watch it several times before Tue. Great work! October 17, 2008 1:18 PM

	clark1250 said: Great trailer can't wait for the game and nice blog with it all! October 17, 2008 6:00 PM
	stu_fargher said: I could be completely wrong about this Sam, but wasn't it planned to have one more production diary coming out before the game launches? While the trailer was great, I'm still getting twitchy fingers for one last production diary... which means I'm constantly checking the site to see if there have been any developments... would be great if you could confirm or deny the existence of this mythical diary which could very well just exist in my imagination... but yeah, confirming or denying it could help me live through the weekend without going completely insane from the wait. Cheers. October 17, 2008 6:18 PM
	appliedluck said: Any more in the works? I was listening to "Abigail, Belle of Kilronan" by the Magnetic Fields today and started getting excited for Fable 2. Would make a great soundtrack to an ad like Gears of War "Mad World." Just saying... October 17, 2008 6:31 PM
	AD_HAM said: looks awesome, i just cant wait to play fable 2. October 17, 2008 7:10 PM
	Areku said: Wow absolutely amazing visuals. There really hasn't been anything I've seen thus far that has excited me as much. I suppose that when you put so many pretty pictures and video together you're bound to make people drool October 17, 2008 7:26 PM

Great video, and just saying !! - timing, it got out just before release, and not so early that we all got tired of Fable 2, before it drops! October 18, 2008 5:26 AM

	Death_Hater said: Amazing video! I am certainly glad I preordered my copy because I have a feeling there will not be any copies of the game for a while after the launch day. I'm at the library now, so I have to be careful about streaming this so I don't get kicked off the computer. Counting the seconds until the 21st. October 18, 2008 11:51 AM
	DravenDevious said: I gotta say the trailer was but did the narrators voice have to sound dan stupid October 18, 2008 3:08 PM
