Fable 2 coming late 2008

360 News | Interview with Lionhead's Peter Molyneux reveals Fable 2 details, and much more.
An interview with Lionhead Studios's Peter Molyneux, conducted by the public, has unearthed information regarding the release date of highly anticipated role-playing game, Fable 2. According to Molyneux, the game will be out 'late 2008'.

Molyneux described a sequence in Fable 2 where a field of flowers, which had just sent pollen floating into the air, is set on fire by his character using a fire spell of some sort.

Other items of note emerged from the interview, including the fact that Molyneux would love to work on follow-ups to classics such as Syndicate, Populous and Dungeon Keeper, but that the rights are owned by publishing powerhouse Electronic Arts - if Molyneux did work on a 'spiritual' sequel to any of those titles, they would have to go by a different name. He would most like to revisit Syndicate - 'More guns!!' - but would also love to do a Nintendo DS version of Dungeon Keeper.

In the interview, Molyneux mentioned another title he and his team have in development, but that he can't give any specific details of yet. He had this to say: 'I know I am prone to say things like "great", "revolutionary" and "ambitious", but this new project its absolutely great, revolutionary and ambitious!'

Molyneux stated that Lionhead Studios being owned by Microsoft 'allows us to create the great games we want to ... Today you need all the support you can get to make a great title.' The question was asked in regards to Halo developer Bungie's recent split from Microsoft.

He also mentioned that he would rather have the ability to become invisible than have lasers for eyes.

Syndicate is one of my favourite game franchises of all time. I would love to see brought back into our world with loving hands (ie.. no EA involvement!)..

Agreed, it would be awesome, as would a new dungeon keeper (though I'd prefer a proper new DK than a DS port).
