Upcoming Fable II DLC Gets Release Date, Video

Fable II fans, mark your calendars: The second downloadable content pack for the game, dubbed “See The Future,” arrives May 12.

Alongside the official release date announcement, developer Lionhead Studios has released the latest issue of semi-regular video podcast “Inside Lionhead” which focuses almost entirely on the upcoming DLC.

Too lazy to watch the clip? Lionhead’s official blog offers a text-based primer on the upcoming add-on:

“See the Future” returns to the beloved world of Albion, where a set of cursed items from Murgo the Trader unleashes new challenges for players to overcome, including encounters with kooky ghost hobbes, bloodcurdling necromancers, a cursed knight and the Coliseum, where only the greatest heroes will emerge victorious to claim the ultimate prize. Of course, what would travel be without a trusty companion? The “Fable II” dog returns with three alter egos to guide players on their quests to see the future, in the form of a Dalmatian, Bloodhound or Husky.

In addition to fantastical new quests, creatures, characters, events and legendary artifacts, “See the Future” also offers free unique items* to all, including a unique soldier helmet, braided ponytail hairstyle, psycho Jester make-up, a new hero expression, the back flip trick for canine companions, and a collectible Murgo the Trader gold statue.
