Microsoft has said that Fable 3 will release exclusively on Xbox 360 this holiday, just before the launch of Halo Reach.

Speaking in a press release issued off the back of last night's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Microsoft said:

"2010 will deliver our biggest line-up ever of exclusive blockbuster releases. Kicking off the first-half of the year with back-to-back Xbox 360 exclusives like Splinter Cell Conviction, Crackdown 2, Mass Effect 2, and Alan Wake. And the first content packs for 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' from Activision will be available this Spring, exclusively first on Xbox 360.

"Our holiday line-up of games includes the highly anticipated Fable 3, followed by Halo Reach, which is expected to be THE biggest title of 2010."

The holiday date marks the first time a specific release window for Fable 3 has ever been mentioned by Microsoft, who have previously stuck to the loose '2010' release date announced during the game's reveal last year.

Fable 3 is a continuation of the award-winning RPG series from Peter Molyneux's Lionhead Studios, and will see the player overthrow a dictatorial tyrant and become the ruler of Albion fifty years after the events of Fable II.
