The PC edition of Lionhead's RPG sequel Fable 3 will no longer launch alongside the Xbox 360 version as it's been delayed for an unspecified length of time, IGN reports.

"The console and PC versions are now on different schedules as we're focusing on building experiences optimized for each platform," publisher Microsoft explained. "We aren't announcing a ship date for the PC sku at this time, but expect news soon."

When confirmed in late May, the PC edition of Fable 3 was scheduled to release simultaneously with the Xbox 360 version on October 26. While the Xbox 360 launch is still going ahead as planned, PC gamers are left hanging for now.

No interest in this series so it's hardly devastating news to me - and honestly, there are so many better RPGs out there that it's hard to really care about this fairly over-hyped one.

Did Fable 3 still have some Kinect gameplay elements? Maybe this is to replace it in the PC version.

The only way this could be considered surprising is if you actually think Microsoft gives a crap about PC gaming.

In other news, I was happy to hear that it is projected that it is expected that the PS3 will overtake the XBox360 in total worldwide sales next year. Yes, it'll be fun to watch Microsoft try to spin that.

No, I'm not bitter. Not at all...

No surprise. Microsoft doesn't care about PC gaming and hasn't for a long time. Why would they put any emphasis in their PC port of a series they couldn't even be bothered to bring to PC? Hell, if they're not going to finish the Alan Wake port, port Halo 3 (or ODST), or port Gears of War 2 (and 3), then I'm not holding my breath on this Fable 3 port.
