Peter Molyneux has revealed that the next piece of DLC for Fable II could be out sooner than expected.

Speaking to Kotaku, the eminent game designer said "The next DLC comes out in the spring. We're in the spring now so don't think months, think more like weeks. It's called See the Future."

The DLC is promised to be an improvement over Knothole Island, the first piece of DLC for Fable II that was released.

"The first was done very close to Fable II and the team was tired and we sort of pushed ourselves to get something out early for the fans," said Molyneux. "This time we've taken a little bit more time on it, it's a little bit more story driven. It answers some of the questions, if you're a real fan of Fable, it answers some of those questions. It's going to test you a little bit emotionally as well. But I think the real thing here is it starts to tease and hint at what is starting to happen in the world of Albion and what is happening in the future."

Continuing on from this, Molyneux hinted at Fable III. "If we were to take the franchise even further, going on from Fable II, I'm not announcing anything, but if you play See the Future you're going to be getting a flavour at what's going to be happening. My ideal is what I would want to happen is something big."

Molyneux also stated at this GDC that Lionhead should not be thought of "as just doing Fable."

"In fact, we've been working on, working incredibly hard, on something else. We haven't been allowed to talk about that something else because the rule is we have to have something to show, to prove it."

When asked about whether it'd appear at E3 this year, though, he avoided the question. We'll have to wait and see.
