Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios have confirmed that consumers who pre-order a copy of the Xbox 360 exclusive, “Fable II,” at participating retailers worldwide, will be given free access to download the “Fable II” Pub Games when they are released this August.

Available exclusively on Xbox LIVE Arcade, fans can transfer the gold earned in these casino-style mini-games to the world of “Fable II,” when the game is available later this year. The final names of the Xbox LIVE Arcade “Fable II” Pub Games are: “Keystone,” which is a combination of Craps and Roulette, “Spinnerbox,” which is an updated take on slot machines, and “Fortune’s Tower,” which is a press your luck style of game.

The download will also include a Shell, which is a tutorial of all three games. The “Fable II” Pub Games will also be available for purchase over Xbox LIVE in August for those that do not pre-order “Fable II” for 800 MS Points.
