We were told that we were going to see this in the “upcoming weeks”, no pun intended, but we didn’t think that would be this soon.

Today, details were revealed for the upcoming Fable II DLC entitle “See the Future”. The content gives players the chance to heed the call for a hero to restore color and balance to the world, or let Albion fall. Those who emerge victorious will receive the ultimate reward: a quest that provides a vision of Albion’s future and what lies ahead for those born into the heroic bloodline. The new quests in “See the Future” will bring players face-to-face with new characters, creatures, events and legendary artifacts, like:

Murgo – a person that you meet in the childhood part of Fable II how returns to Bowerstone Market to bring an amazing array of new wares; The Ghosts of the Snowglobe Quest – Holding a disturbing secret, the small model village inside it was once a real town in Albion.; The Cursed Knight Quest – Forever banished to a land beyond the dead, the Cursed Knight awaits a hero who has the strength and will to dress up in convincing costumes, even imitating a hobbe or balverine, to save him from his fate; The Colosseum – The Colosseum puts even the Crucible to shame. Only the greatest heroes have triumphed here.

See the Future will offer free unique items including Welley’s soldier helmet, a braided ponytail, pshyco Jester make-up, a new hero expression, the back flip trick for the dog, a collectible Murgo the Trader statue and more. The new content looks set to release in May for 560 Microsoft Points.
