[NEWS] Fable III PC Release Is Moved Back

http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/110/1109940p1.html​

Microsoft has confirmed to IGN the PC version of Fable III will not be coming out on October 26, the same date currently set for the Xbox 360 version.

The company would not say how long PC players will have to wait to get their hands on the game, however, though expect to hear something about a release date soon.

"The console and PC versions are now on different schedules as we're focusing on building experiences optimized for each platform," the company said in a statement.

"We aren't announcing a ship date for the PC sku at this time, but expect news soon."

As early back as this June, Lionhead Studios' Peter Molyneux stated both titles would release simultaneously, so it appears this decision came down recently.

This will probably make a few people out there rather unhappy. Sorry for those unfortunate folk pickin' it up for PC.

I'm just wondering how long it's being pushed back. I mean, is it just a few days or weeks? Or is it something like a few months? Meh, doesn't really matter to me I guess. I've already got it coming for my 360.

I don't think that would be a huge delay, chances are that will take up to a month or two, but not more (longer than that would be a ridiculous delay). Well, so far I have got an XBOX 360 so the delay isn't a bother. However, I hope they didn't play with their file-types in the PC version, that would take a while to figure out to make the game modifiable.

Some people are looking forward to the modding capabilities if any more progress is made on that side of things anyway.
