Lately, there has been a lot of confusion regarding some of the high profile title launch in India, of which Fable II was a part as well. Thankfully, the good folks at Genesis have sent us this PR announcement below to clear it up. Find it after the jump.

One can’t help but feel a speck of discomfort knowing that one of the most anticipated games of the year is sitting right in front of your two visually impaired eyeballs, yet you’re allowed only so much time to play it before you realize that you’ve barely even scratched the surface. Such is the way of not being able to have a debug unit to call our own, as we’re sure many other reputable Indian sites are fully aware. Leaving that aside, Ren and I, along with another accompanying journalist who wished to be anonymous in regards to this write-up and thus shall here forth be christened “Dinobot”, were invited to Microsoft India’s office in Gurgaon to fool around with a review code of Lionhead Studios’s Action RPG Fable II - which, by the time you read this, should be available in stores today.

Rather than trying to speed-run through the game’s main storyline, Ren and I felt it was best to get ourselves acquainted with the large, open world you’re presented with right after awakening from the initial training you’ll go through as a young pup. Options abound everywhere you go. You could take up various odd jobs, pose for a sculptor, rummage through dungeons in search of loot with your canine companion, or be a complete douche bucket and beat the townsfolk into a bleeding pulp (Dinobot was principally fond of this activity). But one feature all of us were pretty keen on trying was to raise a family. And if having babies meant having to engage in some sex practices of the polygonal variety, hey, no objections here. Alas, little did we know how much work was really required to get things rolling.

Unfortunately, we still don’t have any clues as to when the PC and PS3 versions of Fallout 3 will arrive here (if at all), understandably because Microsoft India’s only concerned about their own console version and that seeing them bring the PS3 version would seem both awkward and hilarious (hilarious mostly for us). For now, it’s all up to local distributor e-Xpress Interactive.

Thanks to KeyFox KeyEffects Keyofx for the info. Who’s my bestest fwiend? Dat’s wight, you aaare.
