Fable 2’s online co-op to be added later in the launch week
Here’s a tidbit you might like to know for when you pick up Fable 2 for your Xbox 360 on October 21st, 2008. It turns out that Fable 2’s online co-op won’t be available right away at launch, instead it will be added later in the launch week.
To quote Microsoft’s Gamerscoreblog: “We just got word that while we will be able to play the single player and [full screen] local co-op on day one, they are still making tweaks to the online co-op. [...] Lionhead and Microsoft Game Studios are looking to get the update out within the first week of launch in North America.”
No word yet on how this will play out in other regions outside of North America, but I imagine in a similar fashion: a small delay.
See how online co-op works 3:30 minutes into this Fable 2 video, where creator Peter Molyneux explains it.
Watch it to the end if you want to know why Peter says “cheeky bastard!” to his co-op friend.
