Fable II See the Future DLC Dated, Diary Episode Nine

The Lionhead-related announcement we were supposed to be all hyped up for today was a release date for Fable II’s See the Future DLC, as well as the release of the game’s ninth diary video.

The really big important majorly huge dramatic announcement is..wait for it…the release date for See the Future! It will be available May 12th on Xbox LIVE for 560 MS Points for the premium content package. Fable II is available exclusively on Xbox 360 and is rated (M) for Mature by the ESRB and PEGI 16+.

It’s not the end of the Lionhead Video Diaries with our two projects in the pipeline there is so much more we want to show you and talk about.

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.

Jeesh. If we really need to do this pre-announcement announcement, could we at least only do it for news that is actually worthwhile?
