Fable Anniversary delayed

Lionhead Studios has announced that Fable Anniversary has been delayed, and now won't see release until February of next year.

In a letter posted on their blog, lead designer Ted Timmins said the following: "We've been working hard for the past year to bring you the very best Fable Anniversary experience on Xbox 360. We feel though, that we need a little more time in order to meet our ambitions and give you, the fans, the best game possible."

"I know I speak for everyone at Lionhead when I say that we can't wait for you to see what we've been up to, and it gives us great pleasure to let you know that you can expect Fable Anniversary to be both on-shelves and online via the Xbox Games Store in February 2014."

Anniversary comes nine years after the release of the original Fable on Xbox, and will be a high-definition, remastered version of Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox 360.
