Forums - Microsoft - Fable Anniversary Goes Gold + Pre Order Bonuses!

Greetings Chicken Chasers!

Can you believe Fable Anniversary will be launching in UNDER 4 weeks? We’re just as excited as you are and with launch moving ever closer we’re very pleased to announce an important milestone in the lead up to launch.

Fable Anniversary has gone GOLD! That’s right, physical copies of the game are being created as we speak and will be winging their way to retailers shortly.

If that’s not quite enough to have you scrambling to your nearest retailer to pre order, how’s about some exclusive new content?

We’re excited to announce that by ordering from selected retailers you’ll also be able to get your hands on one of the following packs:

Peiratēs Pre Order Pack

Peiratēs Outfit

Peiratēs was a famous plunderer, known for travelling uncharted waters to take entire cargo ships hostage for their most expensive items. He was also known by the name "Pete" in less formal circles. 

Peiratēs Cutlass

A weapon used at sea needs to be both practical and effective. Peiratēs spent years refining this weapon so that the hook could be used to catch fish, the tip could be used to eat fish, and the blade could be used to slit a man's throat.

 

Snowspire Pre Order Pack

Snowspire Guard Outfit

Made from genuine horse hair, this outfit is said to calm even the most vocal of criminals. 

The Jackarse

An age-old popular pasttime was run by a chap named Jack, who used to slap people around the face with a dead fish until they fell onto their arse. The rest, as they say, is history...

Apollo's Pre Order Pack

Apollo's Outfit

Apollo is the pseudonym for the leader of The Grey Company, the man responsible for monitoring Lady Grey's financial investments. As fearsome as that may sound, he had a reputation for being incredibly nice, often using his own money to bail out any villager that couldn't afford that months rent.

Apollo's Crossbow

Based on a centuries old concept, Apollo wanted to create a modern crossbow with the feel of a relic from the past - and thus this crossbow was born. Dependable in combat, but also pretty tasty to look at.

So, be sure to keep an eye on your favourite retailers to find out which will be offering each content pack in the near future! And for the collectors among you, don’t panic, we’re collectors too and we’ll be making these items available for purchase on the Xbox Game Store later in the year.

This will be the first time I play a fable game using a male character. No female DLC?

Same here. It puts me in a weird place. I still remember the days when I was running hand in hand with my future husband in Fable 3. Now to suddenly become a man, it just throws a wrench in the whole emotional well-being when role playing.

So what's Gold? 500k, right?

I find it odd VGChartz doesn't have it ranked in the pre order charts.

Going gold just means the game is done and being printed, has nothing to do with sales.

Going gold or platinum are terms for reaching a certain number of sales.

I'm just curious if they're referring to customer pre orders or the number that will be at retail on launch. I can't imagine this game will sell 500K in the first week, maybe 200K.

No, when a game in development goes gold it means its done and being made.

Yeah, it appears you're right.

When I hear news about a game going gold its usually a very popular game. So I assumed they were referring to sales.
