Fable II DLC delayed. Surprises no-one.

Remember that awesome ‘Knothole Island’ expansion pack for Fable II that was due to be released soon?  You know the one that added 6-8 hours of gameplay, one hundred extra GamerPoints, more characters and a bunch of new items?  Yeah…it’s been delayed.  Shocking huh?  The reason?  ‘Technical difficulties’.  The official explanation is:

“Due to unexpected technical difficulties, the Fable II: Knothole Island expansion will not be available until late January 2009.  As a result, the Fable II, Knothole Island Download and Win, originally scheduled to take place December 22 – 23, 2008, has been temporarily suspended.  Please check back for updates.”

Of course, if you’re still interested in the “Download and Win” promotion, you can continue to register over LIVE and Xbox.com by downloading the appropriate gamer picture.
