Contrary to what was originally announced, the online co-op multiplayer patch for “Fable II” will be available tomorrow, the same day the game launches. Members of the development team said regarding this unexpected but well-received surprise:
Oh, for what its worth, not even we at Lionhead have received our own personal retail copies... granted, we could always play it on the devkits... but there is nothing better than sitting on your own couch in your own living room and in your own pants (hopefully), playing the game on your own TV and handing the second controller to your own (well, hopefully) partner for coop.
Well done to the team in the US and over there in Guildford, UK!
