Fable 2 - Shipping without co-op
Molyneux's Xbox 360 RPG to lack promised feature out of box; Microsoft aiming to add with launch week update.

Lionhead Studios' Peter Molyneux has a reputation for promising features for his games that don't always make it into the final product that ships to retailers. Today in a post on GamerScoreBlog, Microsoft that confirmed that will happen once more with Fable II.

When Fable II arrives in stores, it will lack the online co-op multiplayer mode Molyneux touted at a 2008 Game Developers Conference presentation.. On the bright side, Microsoft is promising that the feature will be added in a downloadable update, possibly within the game's first week on North American shelves. For those who can't wait for a patch to adventure with friends, the game will include local co-op play out of the box.

However, the game won't be entirely offline when it ships. Players will see gamers on their friends list as glowing orbs in-game, and will be able to chat or trade with them.

Fable II is expected to arrive in stores October 21. For more on the game, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

Re: Fable 2 - Shipping without co-op
That's made my decision for me then, i was considering not getting it as fable 1 hasn't really gripped me while i've been playing it. No co-op means i'd rather get fallout 3 a week later.

Re: Fable 2 - Shipping without co-op
Yeah, but fallout is out a week after release, and if i get fable 2 on release day will probably be nearly finished it a week later. Besides, Far Cry 2 is out on the same day as fable 2

Re: Fable 2 - Shipping without co-op
I think I'd go for Fallout 3 as well tbh Ben.

Had it on pre order but my current money situation meant I had to cancel it.. so now I am going to probably wait for Mirrors Edge.

I heard whispers that Mirror's edge is going to have online free-running races.
