Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux confirmed today that Keystone will not be the only XBLA game in development which will allow players to amass Fable money outside of Fable 2. Joining Keystone will be two other titles; Wizard’s Tower and Mage Dice will also hook into Fable 2.

"It’s a really big thing of mine - why aren’t games talking to each other?" Molyneux said in the latest Major Nelson podcast. "And when you say to yourself, 'Let's get games talking to each other,' then how can they talk?"

""The idea is this: Carbonated Games, part of Microsoft, have made some great casual games, Arcade titles. They have got three titles, one call Keystone, one called Wizard's Tower and one called Mage Dice. Why not make those what we call 'Fable-compatible'? And that means that when you play those [semi-gambling] games, when you win, you win Fable gold, and you can transfer that Fable gold to Fable when you buy Fable.

"If you've already got Fable, the money will transfer automatically. If you’ve yet to buy Fable then your balance will be transferred. That’s cool."

Fable still doesn't have a set release date, but it's currently on track for a "late autumn" release. We'll keep you updated as we find out more!
