Microsoft Game Studios and Lionhead Studios have said that its Xbox 360 exclusive Fable II will ship to UAE retailers on October 24, 2008, with subsequent release dates throughout the rest of the world.

Developed by Peter Molyneux and Lionhead Studios, the creators of Fable and Black & White, Fable II offers an infinite amount of choice in an open world environment, allowing gamers to become the most heralded of all heroes or reviled of all villains.

Fable II pioneers a new combat system designed to allow players to truly master hand weapons, ranged combat weapons and magic, each using a different single button on the Xbox 360 controller, making the game approachable and accessible to both casual and hardcore gamers.

In addition to the standard retail version, Fable II will be offered in a Limited Collector's Edition through participating retailers. The standard edition Fable II comes at an estimated retail price of Dh269. - TradeArabia News Service
