Just rumored yesterday in a Gamasutra piece, it seems all but confirmed that we’re getting a new entry in the Fable series on XBLA. @lifelower just recently stumbled across a Marketplace link for the upcoming Fable Heroes, developed by Lionhead Studios. The gameplay looks reminiscent of cel-shaded games and the gameplay of a four-player co-op (online and off-line) hack-and-slash. There also looks to be mine cart levels, sprawling areas and board games to break up the action. It looks to be aimed at a more kid-friendly audience and will have unlocks for the upcoming Fable: The Journey for Kinect. Check out the screenshots and Marketplace description after the break in case this gets delisted. There’s rumors we’ll be hearing more about Fable Heroes sometime tomorrow as GDC begins and XBLA Fans will be there checking out the action.

Microsoft’s first foray into the video game business was a risky and expensive maneuver. Despite having Halo as a stellar launch title and hardware capable of feats its competition couldn’t possibly produce, the original Xbox failed to maintain the flash and evolution of its distant brother: the Xbox 360–which is nearly celebrating its 7^th anniversary on the market.

Console generations generally don’t exceed the pre-determined life expectancy predicted by its creators, but sometimes an unexpected boom of success prompts the decision makers to reconsider. Last November, Microsoft sold 1.7 million Xbox 360 consoles in the U.S., defeating Nintendo’s Wii and 3DS consoles by a large margin. Profit incites investors, potentially explaining why Microsoft has yet to formally announce a successor to its commercial darling. The last thing Microsoft wants to do is create competition for its own product.
