One of the most innovative features that was Shown for Fable 2 was the interface for co-op play over Xbox Live. Unfortunately, there is a bit of a catch to this feature: it’s not quite done yet. Apparently Lionhead Studios has announced that while the game is working with single player and local co-op, online co-op is still being worked on. Rather than delay the game, which is still going to be released on October 21st, the online cooperative play will be patched on after the game releases.

The estimated time for the patch to be available is anywhere up to an entire week. It could have been worse, but there will still be a lot of confusion on launch day for those who don’t frequent the internet for information on games.
