Fable 2: Knothole Island screenshots

Lionhead Studios announced not so long ago that just several weeks after the release of Fable II, it would get its first downloadable content on December 12th. The content in question is a region known as Knothole Island, and will feature a big chunk of real estate and gameplay to boot.

According to lionhead.com, “Hundreds of years ago, the tribe from Knothole Glade discovered the existence of an island far off the mainland said to offer its inhabitants full control over their weather. Tired of constant Balverine attacks and damp, dreary weather, the tribe elders decided they would find this mythic island and settle there. The ancient civilisation who originally lived on the island created the magical artifacts that control the weather, and hid them in dangerous caves so that their warriors would be tested every year.”

Moreover, Knothole Island will feature the following:

Embark on 3 unique quests set in 3 unique dungeons.
Unravel the mystical secrets of the resurrection shrine.
Try on a whole new range of outfits and look like an armoured knight, an assassin, a barbarian or a leather-clad biker, among many others.
Brandish 6 new weapons.
Dozens of unique potions that will drastically alter your appearance.
Customise your weapons the way you want with the new augment tool and a whole new array of augments.
+50 additional leaderboards.

Believe me when I say that we here at XboxMASS are all over this. We absolutely loved Fable 2 and we simply cannot wait to get our hands on some more adventuring in beautiful Albion.

In the meantime, we’ve got some sweet pics of Knothole Island to satiate the eager gamer.
