Mens Xbox-eiere fortsatt mangler et bra RPG, så gjorde Peter Molyneux og Big Blue Box det ikke lettere, da de nylig kommenterte utgivelsen av Fable i The Lionhead Times. Det står nemlig - meget upresist - at spillet er satt til utgivelse en gang i 2004.
Følgende stod å lese i The Lionhead Times:
"Currently the whole Fable Community is requiring most of my time and effort, as it’s most likely for this game to come out first. You heard me right; way too many people are moaning about a release date at the moment so I tell you here and now; Fable will be the first game from Lionhead to be released this year. Sadly enough, I don’t know an exact release date myself, all I hear is an estimated time of release (somewhere this year; 2004), schedules to meet (milestones everywhere!) and a lot of speculations from a million websites, magazines and people."
Så altså en gang i løpet av 2004.
