Hotly anticipated Xbox 360 exclusive RPG Fable II won’t ship with online co-op, Microsoft has revealed.

Over at official MS website Gamerscore Blog, online community manager Sara Nicholson said that developer Lionhead is “still making tweaks” to the online co-op, but reassured fans that “it is definitely still coming”.

She said: “Seriously, as a gamer I’m glad they’re taking the time to make it right instead of just rushing it out the door. Lionhead and Microsoft Game Studios are looking to get the update out within the first week of launch in North America, so again, don’t think this is going to be a decade long wait. I suggest you do what I’m going to do – go play some more pub games and get a ton of gold to buy cool stuff as you start the single player or local co-op game.

“Having said that, as you are playing through the game, you will still be able to see your friends as glowing orbs as well as chat and trade with them.”

Fable II fans are sure to be disappointed by the news, but hopefully Europeans won’t have to wait too long for the patch which will enable online co-op.
