Today at GamesCom, Microsoft and Lionhead Studios revealed that a third installment of Xbox 360 RPG Fable is on the way. Fable III will be released during the 2010 holiday season.
Fable III takes place fifty years after Fable II. Players control the child of their character from the previous game and eventually become king or queen of Albion. Once again morality decisions are key to gameplay, with the player deciding what lengths they'll go in order to secure power and how they'll rule once they gain the throne.
"We’ve spent a lot of time at Lionhead thinking about how we can innovate the gameplay and progress the world of the Fable games for its third chapter, and we’re confident that players won’t second-guess what we have planned for Fable III,” said Microsoft Game Studios creative director Peter Molyneux. “Though I can’t give too much away right now, players should expect to have to make much tougher choices with far wider consequences than ever before in Albion — and with many more interactive adventure elements.”
Update: The announcement trailer is now online, too. Check it out here.
