Lionhead Community : The release date of Fable 2

The release date of Fable 2

Published Tuesday, March 18, 2008 2:14 PM by Sam

So you've been waiting to find out when Fable 2 is going to get released, have you? And you want to know if you can put in a pre-order? Well, have you? We've all seen the rumours on the internet these last couple of days. The entire speculation coming from PLAY.COM show as mentioned by Kotaku here, is pure speculation. Fable 2 is not being released on 30th May 2008 - if that was the case I think you'd find this would have been communicated by a press release of some kind, with a packshot.

No, Fable 2 is going to be released.........this year....when the leaves on the trees turn brown . That is all. For now.

	toddquest said: I never suspected that it was May 30th. My Sig has my guess. Do you have a planned time to let us know about the release date? E3? OK I'll calm down now March 18, 2008 9:35 AM
	stomp224 said: I really don't know why people think they'll find out about the release from anywhere other than this site right here! Since when has Play.com (or any other e-retailer/game store for that matter) had an insider at Lionhead? March 18, 2008 11:22 AM
	EmperorBlue said: even gamespot has the Fable 2 release date set to May 30th. no-one there seems to check lionhead itself. March 18, 2008 12:26 PM
	twelthdoctor said: It was obviously wishful thinking. Most best selling games seem to be released in the fall- including on Halloween. Probably done so that people could buy them as presents for late December. . . gets the most units sold at one time, which is , since they need to see how well a game sells in order to decide how long to continue promoting and making it, as well as whether to bother making downloadable content. On a seperate note, do not rush their debugging, eager people! Several would-be great games were ruined by unfound errors in programming. March 18, 2008 12:29 PM
	ghostyspade said: I don't know why they even came up with a date like 30th May. It's so early that almost everybody already knew it was BS March 18, 2008 12:37 PM
	mikeofblades said: Figures, typical websites randoming the release dates. My guess is around October - November March 18, 2008 12:55 PM
	mcpaddyb said: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........ I damn near had a heart attak when i saw this heading. But you haven't told us anything but bad news. Boo Hoo March 18, 2008 2:50 PM
	toddquest said: To: mcpaddyb You and me both. We know Peter has a release date picked. We just have to wait untill it's time to reveal it. Either way it'll be less than ten months. That's not long seeing as I've been waiting since 2006. Take your time Lionhead I'm Playing Fable TLC again. I'm going to see how the Arcade version is. I have a feeling that once Fable 2 comes out I won't enjoy Fable TLC as much. March 18, 2008 3:06 PM
	Jahiri said: Maybe they release it on april fools day. That would be a sick joke. ( but a pleasant one ) March 18, 2008 3:16 PM
	midnyht said: Lmao, April fools would be a one. When I saw the heading of the blog, I was like, "are you serious???" but alas, you weren't, now we must trudge through life not knowing, for now... March 18, 2008 3:20 PM
	lukedaking said: please don't name the post with that heading again unless ur announcing the date sammy boy, i was so excited i thought I was finally going to know when the game was being released, I've been waiting in anticipation for this game since it was first announced and for you to do that its just mean!!

	DegreesVincent said: I thought It was Oct 1st, I think it says it on Ebgames, not sure thou... March 18, 2008 4:04 PM
	BaronVonTool said: awwww. got wound up too soon... But hey it's better this way i guess, more time to perfect the game. I just hope the arcade games would come online already ! I'll take a cold shower now.... March 18, 2008 4:11 PM
	Ironlion45 said: Seems like every publisher is pushing for fall, Christmas-season releases this year! Don't force me to choose! ;( March 18, 2008 4:13 PM
	Random104 said: Well it was pretty obivous that Fable 2 wasn't coming May 30th. Its too earily. I'd say around earily fall. Or late summer but i doubt that. March 18, 2008 4:24 PM
	captainoflust said: finally. The stupid people who believe what play.com say can be shut up. I'm sick of release date threads. Cheers, captain. March 18, 2008 5:12 PM

	troydominice said: I am not at wait either who wnats to go to the UK and see what is taking the LHT soo long with the game?? March 18, 2008 7:26 PM
	mkw515 said: that should hit the final nail on these release date threads. Unfortunately, this also hurts...... March 18, 2008 8:43 PM
	HumanSasquatch said: I agree this is painful not knowing when Fable 2 shall be released, but i would honestly prefer the bugs to be killed when the game is released. i would rather not have some of the stuff happen that happens in other games with glitches like being stuck in a corner thus not being able to move and thus ending in player demise....Argh!!! I hate that crud!!! March 18, 2008 9:24 PM
	TastyBeverage said: That leaf link is amazing, i love you. March 18, 2008 11:34 PM
	troydominice said: I didn't get the leaf link thing.. it just went over my head.. I am not made for thinking I am made for.. well.. I am just not made for thinking! But what about the Limited Edcion Game that people are holding to Pre-Order?? Will they'er be one of those Limited Thingy? March 19, 2008 2:05 AM
	scottguy3433 said: can it plz come out like now March 19, 2008 3:26 PM
	HoLyVicE said: aww....i tought he wuld say the releas date March 19, 2008 3:56 PM
	Myrshire said: rolls on the floor with a heart attack paramedics arrive 10 minuites later to find a strapping young lad on the ground. They use a phionix down to revive him and ask him what horrible stress must have caused this event. The lad merely says, "Sammy got meh hopes up" March 19, 2008 4:37 PM

	MusicPower said: damn double postings... but still this is a thing to have posted. the stupid ass companys will always be wanting to be a hip and a skop ahead oh everone else. amazon had it for june 30th LAST YEAR so guess what? it didnt come out... but regardless of any website, this is the only place that will let ME know when to go to the local game shop to pre order, not some dumbass at gamefags.com March 19, 2008 7:15 PM
	mkw515 said: It doesn't matter gamefaqs is WRONG!!! If you even read the blog you could see that it just so happens that in May, THE LEAVES DON"T TURN BROWN!!! MAY is spring not fall. The date would have been relayed to us first via blog/dev diary/press release/ E3/ etc. March 19, 2008 7:27 PM
	greenghost5 said: Hmm....I knew the title to this blog was a bit misleading. I had a feeling that LH hadn't released a date just yet. Just the same, speculation on when Fable 2 will be released is going to be wild through out the rest of the year. The Gamestop I go to said they got a listing for October. There listing, though not confirmed by LH is going to be much closer than the prediction of a May release. March 19, 2008 9:46 PM
	Ethrien said: But the leaves have already started to turn brown!! Why must I suffer because you Northern Hemisphere dwellers have backwards seasons " Fable 2 is not being released on 30th May 2008 - if that was the case I think you'd find this would have been communicated by a press release of some kind, with a packshot. " So what your saying is we will find out at least two and a half months in advance... March 20, 2008 7:07 AM
	scottguy3433 said: so you think April 1 as a bad trick March 21, 2008 5:02 AM
	Bushie09 said: awww it comes out in spring for us here in the southern hemesphere which is bad cus in australia it gets hot at that time of year so hot that i cant be on the 360 2 long for fear of over heating and obtaining a class 3 red-ring of death which would destroy me emotionally cuz by the time fable 2 comes out i wont be under warrnty anymore which means i cant power play NOOOOOOOOOO.

	mcpaddyb said: Ahhh haaaa.... 1st June then. sounds ! March 23, 2008 1:19 PM
	koijo said: well i knew it was a junk lead but hey u live and hope XD March 24, 2008 8:54 AM
	DancingBob said: I fail to see how it's going to be the 1st of June mcpaddyb! Seeing that Autumn in the U.K. is during August and September!! Hey it's a bit of a wait but realistically 5-6 months is *** all. This game must be treated exactly the same as Guiness. March 24, 2008 10:02 AM
	OzCool said: I agree with DancingBob. March 24, 2008 2:14 PM
	hopelssadict said: damnit!!!! that heading is so mean. but obviously LH is going to be the first place to hear it from and everything else is just speculation. hovever...still hopeful of like middle-end of september.... March 24, 2008 11:29 PM
	prophecyrevealed said: Its coming out October 1, 2008! I hacked into their database at lionhead! Ok i didnt, I called GameStop : ) You can all thank me at myspace/prophecyrevealed March 25, 2008 8:32 PM
	BusStopWilly said: I've had a look around, and most trees haven't even turned [i]green[/i] yet, never mind brown. I guess this equates to a long wait. My guess is around Autumn time. Although anyone living in a non-deciduous area must be crapping their pants. BSW March 26, 2008 9:28 AM
	Ryku_Hisagi said: I say let them take as they like to make the game as perfect as they possibly can because I want this game to take 100's of hours out of my just like the first one did. This may seem pathetic but I am still playing the first one hours on end. ["Power! Give me more, Power!"] March 26, 2008 6:53 PM
	ZioMage said: Well i knew when it was coming out it that simple a game so takes very long to make it that March 27, 2008 5:32 PM
	ZioMage said: well here in the USA it turn brown in between octuber and novmeber March 27, 2008 5:37 PM
	CR0WLEY said: I've already got my pre-order in with Game, taking advantage of some 'get x off when you spend over y' vouchers back in Jan. Now I can just sit back, relax and wait for the game to arrive... (I'm not relaxing, or patiently waiting - I want to play as much as anyone else! Still, the option's there ) March 27, 2008 8:05 PM

	moonfever said: Ok Sam, i'm not happy about the hero aging while everyone else stays young! If you make it to hard to be the hero, it's not so much fun. March 28, 2008 1:44 PM
	Yaneez said: Hope it comes out in september somewhere like that.. but ive heard Rumours it would be out 30th October by many of my friends. Hah Halo3 came out on my birthday.. but wasnt as as i expected it to be fable 2, however, will be awesome and rise above the other games coming out March 28, 2008 5:17 PM
	SightofTwilight said: Halloween sounds pretty . Tis' also the date of my birth though I play completely . April 3, 2008 2:22 PM
	Mameluke said: gamestops realease date is october 1st. thats also the time when leaves turn brown http://www.gamestop.com/browse/search.aspx?N=0&Ntk=TitleKeyword&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntt=fable%202# April 5, 2008 7:54 PM
	paidcriminal said: lol i guess its that we have to wait, because the game will be ever so sweeter! April 5, 2008 8:12 PM
	moonfever said: I really ,really hope it comes out in Sept. October seems so far away. April 9, 2008 2:07 AM
	OzCool said: it will definetly release before october because by then all the leaves are on the ground. my guess is if its not an anniversary thing (august 1st) it will be late august to late september. April 9, 2008 2:30 PM
	fluffums said: Has anyone but me actually trolled through the html code of this page? Do it, find the nonsense, and figure out how that applies to leaves turning brown. You'll be delightfully surprised. April 10, 2008 12:20 PM
	OzCool said: how do you troll (did you mean stroll) through the html code of a page fluffums April 11, 2008 1:56 AM
	OzCool said: to fluffums: sorry found out how, but didnt find anything interesting April 11, 2008 2:14 AM
	alexaas said: a cool date to reelease fable 2 is 16 june, why i think that is a cool date, becouse that is my borthday, and that is a great great pressent i love fable, and i think fable 2 is eeven more better! April 12, 2008 7:48 AM
	Chaoto said: I know that Peter Molyneux is the only person who knows the exact time and date of Fable 2's release so how could other sites get details and its a bit obviouis its not out in May. April 17, 2008 12:05 PM
	Spartan_1019 said: There's all four different dates I've heard about so far all in 08 1: May 30th 2: Dec 12th 3: Oct 27th 4: September Sometime As you all would probably know It's supposedly gonna be out in the Fall or when brown leaves are about say whateva you want but my guess is It's gonna be out in May if I'm correct that's when brown leaves start to magically appear. (hahaha) sorry Chaoto that you don't agree, I'm not trying to cause an argument but doesn't Autumn start in May or June? April 26, 2008 6:51 PM
	Moneyready said: Im not a guesser but exactally where in the world will the trees be turning brown???...Example....Canada and the UK have different seasons...so the release date might even be in december 31, 2008 for all we know... April 28, 2008 7:59 AM
	BYRNEDA said: Ha ha ha ha!!! Nice one Sam! Love the link to: http://www.sciencemadesimple.com/leaves.html I'm quite sure had Fable 2 been released for May 30th, there would be a whole TONNE of stuff everywhere about it too. And Moneyready, I'd reckon people to take into account the normal time for Autumn on the calendar months. If I'm not mistaken, Autumn is the months of August, September and October. May 22, 2008 12:13 PM
	BYRNEDA said: Although, if one were to do a search on Amazon.com for "fable 2", they give another date (including a Limited Edition of Fable 2). ( Hey Sam, how can Amazon do something like this? Are they pushing the boundary or trying to get in some pre-orders for a game that they know will be awesome!? ) ( Maybe they have a crystal ball and know something we all don't ) May 22, 2008 12:15 PM
