For those hoping to get their hands onÂ Fable AnniversaryÂ in the near future will be disappointed to hear that the game has been delayed to February 2014, an apologetic blog posting from Lionhead reveals.

According to the blog posting, the reason behind the delay is stated as follows:

We feel though, that we need a little more time in order to meet our ambitions and give you, the fans, the best game possible.

As a consolation, they are prepping up some new screenshots, more game footage and “perhaps even some… top secret announcements!” One can only wonder what these top secret announcements could be. Rest assured, the game will be available for purchase both in stores and via the Xbox Games Store February 2014.

A Fable Restored: Fable Anniversary

Lionhead Studios teased an original Fable HD remake earlier in the day, and Microsoft has confirmed the game will be called Fable Anniversary. The game will contain The Lost Chapters content, added Achievements, SmartGlass compatibility, leaderboards, new UI and a full 1080p HD update. Fable Anniversary will also include a new lighting system, a new facial animation system, new cutscene animations and updated textures, models and much more. This news was confirmed on a podcast, with the thumbnail being the box-art for the game.

Ted Timmins, the lead designer for the game, called it “The game that Fable fans have been demanding for yearsâ€. He also explained about the new Achievements system as “Fable has always been about choice and consequence, so we’re trying to put that into our Achievementsâ€.

At the moment, Fable Anniversary is set to for a 2013 holiday release. Strangely, the Xbox 360 is the only console listed for the game. However, with the Xbox One approaching, Iâ€d be surprised if this HD remake of a classic wonâ€t be available on it.

The announcement of a release only on Xbox 360 (so far) caused Timmins to reveal that Microsoft intends to support the Xbox 360 following the release of the Xbox One. Already confirmed is an update for the 360, which will help users port over to the Xbox One. Timmins said “Obviously the Xbox [360] isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. It’s very important, to all of us, that we carry on delivering on itâ€.
