Fable 2 Development : Some juicy Fable II news!

Some juicy Fable II news!

Published Thursday, March 12, 2009 4:15 PM by Sam

A list of random facts and figures about the game today! Plus something else you will all love to hear…

Fable II is still doing really well, with 2.6 million sold its quickly becoming one of the best selling RPGs of Xbox360! We had a lot of fun coming up with the achievements (and even won an award for them [Best Achievement Tile, Most Original Achievement) but it looks like our fans are enjoying them just as much; with more than 66,000,000 achievements unlocked to date! The easiest one to achieve turns out to be “The Whippersnapper” (with 2,800,000 people getting it) and the hardest one to add to your list is “The Dollcatcher” with only 61,037 gamers achieving this one (or a mere 1.9%). Shame you can't auction the Hero Dolls off!

Just over 1,000,000 gamers chose “The Needs of The Few”, which just goes to show there is still quite a lot of love in this world...

Finally we’d like to address a question that comes up a lot;

“Will there be any more DLC for Fable II?”.

The answer is quite simple;

“Yes”.

The team here in Guildford is working on some new content right now! More information will be shared in the coming weeks.

Finally, twenty codes for you, to download the Fable II Knothole Island NXE Theme!

All codes have been used

Update, twenty codes for the Fable II Pub Games...First come, first serve!

All these codes have been used too

I'm surprised by "The Needs of the Few", I thought it would be a pretty much an even split between the endings. Grabbed P48HH.... - Thank You! March 12, 2009 11:33 AM
	Pe0plecanfly said: Thanks for the code! March 12, 2009 11:39 AM
	KARLIUS said: Congratulations and thank you for the Code "C83T2-CBXDX-DFHFW-TMK7R-MW3P8" Can't wait for the new DLC. March 12, 2009 11:45 AM
	mwcarlson said: Yes, that is juicy, and full of Vitamin-C. I am salivating over the prospect of some more DLC. As to the difficulty of the dolls, perhaps they should get in contact with the right people. The Emporium has loads of dolls. See our threads on xbox.com or here on Lionhead: http://community.lionhead.com/forums/9/3314136/ShowThread.aspx#3314136. March 12, 2009 11:46 AM
	Taeran said: Looks like all the codes are dried up- it was amusing reading the Tweets about those stats, but I'm still surprised by 'The Needs of the Few'- I chose it because I loved my dog, but I was still a bit shocked that it wasn't a tie between Few and Many. March 12, 2009 11:51 AM
	Ben506 said: Think all the codes have gone. I take it there are no more Pub Game codes then, as it's been the NXE themes these last few times? Also, most people I know who have Fable 2 don't actually know about the doll trading, possibly explaining the low number of people with that achievement. Then again, I also know one person who didn't realise you could even go online and trade. March 12, 2009 11:54 AM
	Sam said: Updated the blog with an extra 20 codes for the Pub Games Ben506... March 12, 2009 11:58 AM
	squidproquo said: There's something charming about a picture full of people in tuxes (and gowns) giving thumbs ups and fist pumps. And thanks Sam for the exciting news! March 12, 2009 12:02 PM
	Rhamsey said: damn, i didnt get one March 12, 2009 12:04 PM
	YakkoWarner said: Well, I've been trying to help out with the dollcatcher one where I can. It's hard, though, as most of the people who ask for help seem to be from the UK, and with me being in the US, trying to match up a time to get online so they can "watch me collect" the dolls is difficult. I wish I'd been keeping count, though; I'm sure I've served up at least two dozen of these achievements so far. Already have the Pub Games, so I'll pass on these codes. Wouldn't mind a chance at getting the Knothole Island DLC, though (hint hint)... March 12, 2009 12:13 PM
	LukeBenMBay said: I know it's a little late but... thanks for the code This theme is awesome ! Looking forward for the next DLC ;-) March 12, 2009 12:20 PM
	alexisrose said: Awesome....DLC confirmation!!!!! Thanks Sam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! March 12, 2009 12:25 PM

	Marco8YNWA said: Great News I can't wait for this will definatly buying!! March 12, 2009 12:29 PM
	ErodeTheSoul said: That's some fantastic news! Congrats on all the awards!! March 12, 2009 12:29 PM
	WeeBar said: Great news, Cant wait for next DLC. Also, All codes are used would love to see some more March 12, 2009 12:38 PM
	oldDj said: Congrats on the Award. Too bad about the "Best Achievement List 07/08." It would have been nice to see you win that one too. But like I say, "You Live and You Learn." I hope the next title (TBA) will reap you guys even more rewards. March 12, 2009 12:41 PM
	DTwirler said: Aww, too slow. Shame, that Knothole Island theme is so pretty! Yay for new DLC! Hopefully it'll be a lot longer than Knothole Island. I found somebody who was willing to trade me the Dollcatcher achievement for the weapon you get for beating the Crucible. March 12, 2009 12:50 PM
	wjuk said: Wow the codes go bloody fast. I remember the first time you put them up, I managed to snatch one for pub games. And for that I still thank you. Anywayz, looking forward to more DLC! March 12, 2009 12:57 PM
	Ben506 said: Blimey. Gone for a bit, thinking there'd be nothing more, go sent here from Kotaku, and the codes that had appeared had already gone. I'm thinking some people must have a macro or something to get them. March 12, 2009 1:09 PM
	TheAnvil said: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS MORE DLC YES March 12, 2009 2:46 PM
	TheBowerstoneGuard said: Can't wait to hear what the new content is Sam. Nice photo by the way. Did you take that? March 12, 2009 4:22 PM
	RykinPoe said: I hope the next DLC will be a little more meaty than the first bit. Either more meaty or more appropriately priced. March 12, 2009 5:38 PM
	DesertBear360 said: The game and the Knothole DLC where lacking and flawed in more ways than Fable and Fable: Lost Chapters were. They should make the next DLC longer and better as well as cheaper for all the mess up that most of us had to deal with such as the removed Co-op heros which was replaced by generic henchmen as well as the short pointless story that hinted only a handful of times to Fable. Let's not forget about the extra cost for the Limited Edition which had no DLC code cards allowing for people whom did not have the LE version to get the code and the missing extras. Fable 2 with its LE and Knothole Island DLCs is a disappointment. The only way that my friends and family will be getting the next DLC for Fable 2 is if it is free. March 12, 2009 6:15 PM
	Tim_NL said: I can be wrong (or its just bugged) but those people making such awards should pay more attention about what they say. You (at least me) don't need hat, headband, moustache for the achievement so its just half-violated now => and I'm quite sure about that becouse without it im still able to pass over the achievement. March 12, 2009 6:36 PM
	xlKebertXelalx said: Can't wait to see the next DLC. I just hope it doesn't get delayed... Knothole was pretty fun though, and I hope the next one is even better. March 12, 2009 8:20 PM
	LordLunatic said: I hope the next DLC is either free, or huge in content, hopefully both? March 12, 2009 11:58 PM
	Argo027 said: More Codes? Please? I have to admit, Dollcatcher was hard to get. I would like to thank those who helped me. Thanks for the update. March 13, 2009 12:11 AM
	Lizziebatt said: Haha, look at Danny Wallace sneaking in at the side of the Lionhead celebration photo! March 13, 2009 4:18 AM
	shlsh said: apart from the limited edition glitch everything has gone superbly with Fable 2. Enjoyed every minute of it and counting. Congratulations to Lionhead for the well deserved accolades! keep the DLCs coming March 13, 2009 6:09 AM
	Jacquestrap said: Can I have a pub games code plz? Kthx March 13, 2009 7:40 AM
	noddegamra said: Fable 2 DLC? This is probably what Jonathan Ross was on about when he let it slip about doing the voice for a character in "Fable 3". more info: http://www.gxpblog.com/2009/03/fable-3-announced-accidentally.html March 13, 2009 8:12 AM

	PJ2009 said: Can't wait. I have only just got the game but already know I will be wanting more! March 13, 2009 12:08 PM
	DEGID said: HOW ABOUT FIXING / Patching the XBOX360 version to stop with the Fuc&^&% corrupted save files instead of tooting your horn right now. Or better yet gives some clue on how to repair a save file via PC Just my opinion. I hate developers that don't support their product directly. March 13, 2009 1:25 PM
	Streaklight said: Any hints as to what the new DLC is going to be like??? March 13, 2009 2:07 PM

	da5starrmd said: As much as I love to keep playing Fable 2, I just can't seem to get through the game without it freezing on me...The update didn't do much help either...and it's beginning to get very fruatrating... March 14, 2009 6:31 PM
	Orakaius said: Wow congrats! It is indeed the best cheevo list I have seen on a game, not impossible just plain fun. Can't wait for more DLC. Keep up the work LH. =D Hermit March 14, 2009 9:25 PM
	Eiscafe said: oh no...... T.T im to late, all the codes for the pub games are gone..........T.T but can't wait for the DLC. March 16, 2009 12:27 PM
	jonkoot said: i bought limited collector's edition and can't find or get code to unlock DLC anywhere, ? even tried calling united kingdom? March 19, 2009 9:02 PM
	ejpretzer said: How about this for dlc, a giant piece that is the size of the lost and dammed in terms of big, and call it fable two:the lost chapters dlc March 20, 2009 7:40 PM
	meliandrade said: be available for pc ?????''' March 23, 2009 11:09 PM
	Hezzzy said: I'm hoping the DLC to be huge, unlike Knothole which was still big but the island was too small with only three quests and a few new shops. Hopefully they'll add more armor too. March 25, 2009 11:14 PM
	Hezzzy said: I hope the new DLC is a huge addition. March 25, 2009 11:15 PM
	Zod5000 said: any extra pub game codes? I really want to get that completist achievement. March 29, 2009 4:45 PM
	marielizabeth said: there should be some kind of quest that allows you to restore Oakvale (kind of like the way Bloodstone gets fixed up) April 1, 2009 8:44 PM
	Gakman said: And a patch ? I like this game very much, but my save is still crashed near the end and I don't want doing the whole game again for a DLC... Please, fix it, and I'll buy all DLC with pleasure ! April 13, 2009 3:18 AM
	Kenotai420 said: Got the collectors edition and no code. And now Microsoft is not giving me the code to active it. Is there any way to get a code for the LCE? July 18, 2009 6:28 PM
	clark1250 said: Nice Picture plus those are very original I have to agree. August 19, 2009 11:29 AM
