Kim is clearly excited about this one, referring to it as a major part of Microsoft’s 2008 holiday season. “I’m trying to do [lead creator Peter [Molyneux]’s job a little bit, because Peter was accused of over-hyping “Fable” 1. And so we’ve been keeping Peter really focused. I obviously believe it’s going to be a huge title.
He confirmed that Molyneux’s Microsoft-owned Lionhead Studios isn’t just doing “Fable 2″ at the moment. “They’ve got other things that they’re working on,” Kim said. “Peter’s a very creative guy, so he’s got other ideas that they’re always processing.” Lionhead fans, Kim said he’s never seen Molyneux’s mystery project “Dimitri,” itself the subject of many Molyneux interview teases, but that “Peter’s talked about it to me a bunch.”
Molyneux is scheduled to make a major presentation on “Fable 2″ at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco next week.
