Fable III

Fable III is an upcoming action role-playing game being developed by Lionhead Studios and published by Microsoft Game Studios. It is the third installment in the Fable series. 'Fable III is set to be released in 2010 for the Xbox 360 and Windows PC.
== Plot ==
Taking place fifty to sixty years after the events of Fable II, the new king of Albion, Logan, has become corrupt. The new hero, who is a sibling to Logan and descendant to Sparrow as well, must overthrow Logan as leader of Albion. The first half of Fable III is set to be played with the events of the revolution against Logan. The second half is to chronicle the new hero's monarch of Albion. The new hero will also be faced with the possibility of war with the neighboring country of Aurora.
== Gameplay ==
Fable III is set to include many of the features that were seen in Fable II, such as growing a family and buying estates. A new edition to the gameplay is the touch mechanic, which allows full interaction with the non-player characters.
Character morphing which has defined the series is also being improved. There will now be "Extreme Morphing" where angelic or demonic wings will sprout from the hero. Character morphing will also be based around the weapons used. For example, melee weapons make the hero more muscular, ranged weapons make the hero taller and slender and Will attacks make the hero prematurely age.
Marriage and children have also been improved. Two players can now marry over online or local multiplayer and children can be adopted.
Peter Molyneux, creative director of Lionhead Studios, the developers, stated that "Fable III is being designed for the regular Xbox 360 controller first and foremost, but that some Kinect surprises are coming". It can be presumed that an update will be applied for Kinect support or Kinect will be supported through downloadable content.
Another concept new to Fable III is the improved graphical interface. When the start button is pressed, rather than a menu, the hero is brought to the Sanctuary, a safe haven for the hero from Logan's forces. Jasper the butler, voiced by John Cleese, recommends the hero to use different equipment or weapons on different quests while the hero is in the Sanctuary.
== Fable III: Kingmaker ==
Fable III: Kingmaker is a companion game to Fable III, much like Fable II: Pub Games was a companion to Fable II. The game is accessible on a smartphone and was released in England, Wales, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and Sweden. Players pick one of the two factions, Rebels or Royals, and placing flags throughout real-world locations. Power-ups and gold collected in Kingmaker are transferable into Fable III.
