All hype aside, Peter Molyneux revealed that Fable 2 will be released in late 2008, according to Eurogamer. In addition, Molyneux mentioned that Lionhead Studios is working on another game.
"We are working on a title now which is kind of a hybrid of Dimitri. I am really, really pushing the powers-that-be to allow me to tell/show the world this new project. I know I am prone to say things like 'great', 'revolutionary' and 'ambitious', but this new project its absolutely great, revolutionary and ambitious!"
For you folks who don't know, Dimitri (or The Dimitri Project) is/was a code name for a PC game that's under development at Lionhead Studios. There's speculation that Fable 2 evolved from Dimitri, but it's unconfirmed; also there's speculation that Dimitri was replaced by a new game project -- presumably this new game Molyneux is hinting at.
Molyneux also dropped hints of various Lionhead Studios related information. For example, Molyneux is interested in developing simulation and God games for the Nintendo DS. He hinted that he would bring Dungeon Keeper to the DS, but unfortunately, EA holds the rights to the game series.
In the meantime, I'm eagerly awaiting Fable 2 -- barring any delays, of course.

Hopefully it will be as good as the first Fable
Can't wait for Fable 2. Fable is one of my all time favorite games and I hope Fable 2 is as good, hopefully better.
i never actually played the first game at all.....
"i never actually played the first game at all....." me neither... and I won it in a tournament too.. just sat in my car forever. If I can find it I'll probably give it a shot since my new room mate has an x-box.
Fable 1 was amazing, and i mean, it was AWESOME, i beat it 6 times, all possible endings, weapons, armors, everything. It was great. Now i need a 360 to acquire fable 2.
It's funny with how good Fable 1 was, that it was unfinished and didn't deliver on all of it's promises.
Also, they need to focus on one game at a time, that way they can actually release a finished game, which they don't do very often.
