Fable 2 PC
Ever since Fable 2 was released on the Xbox 360, there has been a lot of speculation by fans about when the game would be ported to the PC. But with the release of Fable 3 this year for both the Xbox 360 and for the PC, it leaves people speculating even more. Will there be a Fable 2 PC version?
When the original Fable game first came out, it did not have a PC version. Eventually though, the game was expanded and moved across to the PC platform. The game was extremely successful and Lionhead Studios moved forward with creating Fable 2. It too was successful, but at the time there were no plans to create the game for a new platform other than what it was released on. In 2010, the third Fable game was released on Xbox 360 in October of that year. The Fable 3 PC version was set for a May 17th, 2011 release. Does this mean that fans will not ever see Fable 2 on PC?
In 2009, Lionhead stated that the success of Fable 2 made the eventual port of the game to another platform imminent. But a member from the Lionhead development team indicated that Lionhead was not working on a port for the second game of the series. Even though there seemed to be incredible demand for the product, it seemed like the studio was moving forward without actually working on the PC port.
This wouldn’t be the first time that a game series has abandoned the PC format mid-series. Gears of War was also moved from its original platform to the PC after release. With the release of Gears of War 2, fans expected the same process to take place. But it never did and Epic confirmed that it wasn’t planning to do a port of the game to PC, ever.
This has left me and many other fans to conclude that if the developer hasn’t come out with a PC version of Fable 2 yet, it probably isn’t going to happen. Fable 3 has been out on the market for many months on Xbox 360 and the PC version for the third game in the series is due out in the middle of this year. There probably isn’t much interest by the developer to go back in the series when they could continue to focus on the next release of the best RPGs ever.
