Fable III Kingmaker

This morning I received a Fable III flyer from Game.  As well as drawing the Fable III-branded 360 controller  to my attention (can't really see the point of that, though it looks pretty and if I needed an extra controller, I'd consider it), it also revealed an app-based game, Fable III Kingmaker -

If anything, I'm now more excited about Fable III

I'd not heard anything about this before in any of the magazine previews for Fable III  but it seems a really good idea.  Available from either 2nd October (according to the flyer) or 1st October (according to the website), it is a way for the player to accumulate 'treasure'/gold (and for Microsoft to increase gamers' expectations) before the game's release at the end of October (as with Pub Games before the release of Fable II). The flyer only refers to the UK but the website shows French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish and Italian flags (go 'O' Level Geography!), so presumably localised versions will be available in those countries. There were no details on similar products for other territories.

Roll on Friday (or Saturday).

EDIT 2 October 2010 The Kingmaker website has been updated and the App will now be available from 'October'.  Elsewhere on the internet, it suggests that the App will be available for Android phones on 4 October and iPhones a few days after that (no release date given).  There's a trailer here .

And it has also been confirmed that the App will not launch in North America.
