Lionhead upset quite a few a couple of weeks back when they announced that the online co-op would not be ready for launch. This is a pretty important feature that many were anxiously awaiting, and they pulled the rug out from under us.
Now it looks like they’ve gently placed that rug back. According to one of the devs who posted on the Fable II blog, it appears they slaved over the game and got it ready for launch! Dev Sam had this to say:
“Remember a couple of days ago (or was it a week) where on a blog it was mentioned that Fable II would be shipping ‘without’ Online Co-op? And remember we said we were busting our balls to get it ready in time for a ‘Day One’ release? Well - GOOD news folks! It looks like we’ve done it…for all of you who are connected to Xbox Live, when starting up your copy of Fable II (on 21st October in USA, 24th October in Europe and 18th December in Japan). So all of you getting upset and all, you wouldn’t even have noticed… Sort of. Well done to the team.
Taken into account we don’t fail certification!”
Woo hoo! Looks like we’ll get to team up and terrorize the towns after all!
