Ontop of Fable III, we're getting Fable II as an episodic download. As of September 29th we will get episodes 1-5 with Ep 1 being free.

We play as the son/daughter of Fable II's Hero. You begin the game trying to over throw the tyrant King of Albion by leading a revolution. You do this by gathering support, gaining followers and uniting factions. As you attempt to overthrow the King, you make promises and you can choose if you should keep your promises or break them.
Two new game mechanics revealed were "Judgement" and "Touch".
Judgement is, oviously, you making judgements. An example given (thats not in the game) is a woman is caught stealing bread. She is brought to you where you can listen to her pleas, investigate it yourself to see if she is lying by visiting her family to see if she is as poor as she claims to be etc. You can choose to throw her in the dungeon or throw her some gold.

Touch is the ability to touch those around you. You can walk up to someone and shake their hand or refuse. This can be built up to hugging, embracing, kissing. You can also use it to hold hands, pull people to take them places etc.

Peter Molyneux says "Imagine hearing the cries from a young child in the house, and you as a ruler storm in to save the child. In Fable I and Fable II, you'd get a button prompt - press A to save the child. With dynamic touch, you can pull the child out of the flames and the burning house."

PM is also giving a talk at GDC in a few hours so more info may be revealed. Fable III is due out in 2010.
