Lionhead: News on Fable III PC coming "hopefully soon"

Lionhead has again sought to assuage fears over the much-delayed PC version of Fable III, saying news will "hopefully" be on the way "soon".

"It's painful to admit we can't yet answer any questions on the PC version of Fable III," the British developer tweeted today.

"Hopefully soon we can spill the beans!"

Lionhead announced in May last year that the PC version of its non-RPG would release day-and-date with the 360 SKU - which hit globally in late October - only to drop any fixed date for it in August.

As the year dragged on, a date failed to materialise.

“Fable 3 PC Version is still in development here at Lionhead so PC gamers don’t panic. We’ll announce details when we’re ready to do so,” said Lionhead in November.

The studio's clearly not ready yet.

Microsoft said on the phone that the firm "doesn't comment on rumour and speculation."
