We all knew it was coming soon, but Lionhead has gone ahead and put a date on it: “See the Future”, the next round of downloadable content for Fable II, will be available on Xbox Live May 12. That’s less than two weeks for me to download and finish “Knothole Island”, because I am perpetually behind in gaming. I know what I’ll be doing this weekend!

If you need a reminder as to what “See the Future” will actually entail, Lionhead was kind enough to include a summary in the press release:

"'See the Future' returns to the beloved world of Albion, where a set of cursed items from Murgo the Trader unleashes new challenges for players to overcome, including encounters with kooky ghost hobbes, bloodcurdling necromancers, a cursed knight and the Coliseum, where only the greatest heroes will emerge victorious to claim the ultimate prize. Of course, what would travel be without a trusty companion? The 'Fable II' dog returns with three alter egos to guide players on their quests to see the future, in the form of a Dalmatian, Bloodhound or Husky.

In addition to fantastical new quests, creatures, characters, events and legendary artifacts, 'See the Future' also offers free unique items* to all, including a unique soldier helmet, braided ponytail hairstyle, psycho Jester make-up, a new hero expression, the back flip trick for canine companions, and a collectible Murgo the Trader gold statue."

Well, I loved Fable II, so I’m in. Seven dollars is more than a fair price for a few more hours of fun and adventure in Albion. Anyone else getting “See the Future”?
