As it turns out, Lionhead Studios is currently in full-scale production of a second add-on for Fable II, and not Fable III, as gabby BBC personality Jonathan Ross initially led many to believe. Today, the Microsoft-owned studio provided the first details on the Fable II downloadable content--titled See the Future--saying it would be available through Xbox Live this May for MSP560 ($7). For those keeping track, that dollar amount equates to $3 less than the well-received Knothole Island DLC pack, released in January.

The basic concept behind See the Future involves players lifting a curse on three items obtained by Murgo the Trader, better known as the mysterious vendor introduced during the opening childhood sequence in Fable II. According to Lionhead, those who complete the new quest line will be offered "a vision of Albion's future and what lies ahead for those born into the heroic bloodline."
As with the first Fable II DLC pack, See the Future will offer a variety of new characters, creatures, quests, and items. According to Lionhead, new quests include "The Ghosts of the Snowglobe," in which players must cipher out the secret of a mysterious town locked away in a chintzy novelty, and "The Cursed Knight," where players are tasked with assuming a variety of disguises to free an undead champion. The DLC pack will also include the Colosseum, where players can compete for prizes by besting a variety of challengers.
Many of the items and emotes contained in See the Future will also be available as a free download, allowing those who don't purchase the premium content to play with those who have. For more information, check out GameSpot's video review below.
