Speaking on the Major Nelson podcast, Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux has revealed that Microsoft’s Carbonated Games is handling development of three Fable 2 compatible Xbox LIVE Arcade titles.
“The idea is this: Carbonated Games, part of Microsoft, have made some great casual games, Arcade titles. They have got three titles, one called Keystone, one called Wizard’s Tower and one called Mage Dice,” said Molyneux. “Why not make those what we call ‘Fable-compatible’?”
Being Fable 2 compatible will mean gold earned in any of the three XBLA titles can be transferred into the main Fable 2 game. If the player already has the game the gold will be transferred automatically, while it can also be saved up and transferred at a later date for those players without the game.
Fable 2 is currently expected in the autumn, but the XBLA mini-games are thought to be arriving a little earlier. There are currently no details on the pricing for the XBLA games.
