Fable 3 Confirmed for PC, Collector's Edition Unveiled

Related Topics – Fable 3, xbox 360, PC

Lionhead's RPG Fable III will also be released for PC, publisher Microsoft confirmed today after accidentally revealing the fact with a blurb on the Xbox 360 box art last week.

Xbox 360 Limited Collector's Edition goodies and the game.

The PC version will be available alongside the Xbox 360 edition this holiday season, costing $49.99. As well as hitting retail, Fable III PC will be available for download exclusively from Microsoft's Games for Windows Live 'Games on Demand' service.

Microsoft also revealed that a 'Limited Collector's Edition' will be available for the Xbox 360 edition, costing $79.99 instead of the standard $59.99 and packing the following:

A new quest: Uncover the mystery of the haunted forests of Silverpines and earn the legendary sword, Wolfsbane, deadly against wolves and balverines.
Exclusive location: Unlock a new region, ideal for settling down with a family and discovering new treasures.
"Fable III" playing cards: Created by Lionhead, these cards depict every type of character in "Fable III," including Heroes, royals, rebels and villains from across Albion and beyond.
Guild Seal Coin: The coin features a Good side (blue) and Evil side (red) to assist players in making critical decisions that will impact the fate of the world forever.
A new dog breed: Renowned for its loyalty, the Boxer is a brave canine companion worthy of greatest Queens and Kings.
One unique outfit: Unearth one male and female outfit from the mysterious, faraway land of Aurora, a new destination in your "Fable III" adventures.

The original Fable was released on PC in the expanded form of Fable: The Lost Chapters a year after its original Xbox release, though Fable 2 has yet to come to PC.

I can hardly contain my excitement, another title in the library of Ports For Windows Live. I'm thinking they realized they missed their boat, what with Steam so firmly entrenched as a staple for PC, and now Mac gamers. I can't honestly fathom what they hope to accomplish with this. Still, I'll never be one to underestimate Microsoft. They've shown time and time again that they will throw hundreds of millions of dollars at something to compete with their competition until they can make it self sustaining.

This news is so... STRANGE. Why would they release Fable III of all games on PC out of the blue? And that too at launch.

What makes things stranger is that Fable II never made it to PC.

Hmmmmm....

I wonder what went on behind the scenes for this decision to have been reached.

A surefire way to get poor sales is for a franchise to skip releases on a particular platform. Fable II needs to be ported over quickly and at a dirt low price if they want Fable 3 to have adequate PC sales.
