I want them to have such a fun experience that some percentage of them go, okay I’m going to buy a hero that just came out, or I’ll get Winter a new hairstyle and a cool-looking hood. “That’s the kind of feeling I want to invoke with our players. I did the same thing in Team Fortress and eventually in League of Legends. I felt like I owed them something because they’d made such a great game for me to play, and I didn’t need to spend money in the game, but I thought I should. “When I’ve played my 30th hour of Hearthstone, at some point I decided, I should probably give Blizzard some money. I want my players to feel like, oh, I bought something cool. Nvoke anything vaguely like buyers remorse. Speaking to Eurogamer Lionhead Studio Head John Leedham said, The intention is to keep the game going for years to come, assuming of course enough people are willing to stick around. Lionhead intend on expanding the game in seasons, adding more levels, monsters, heroes and gear in an episodic structure. Treasure chests can also be found in the levels. Traps and such can also be purchased this way, too, as can treasure chests which contain armor, weapons and augments. However, when you replay a mission you can opt to have non-native creatures at your disposal by either buying them with silver or with real money. As the villain you also have a campaign of sorts, and in each level of that campaign there will be native creatures you can use for free. Neither Lionhead or Microsoft have commented on how much these heroes may cost officially, but speaking to Eurogamer a member of Lionhead reckoned that it might take a fortnight to earn enough silver to buy a hero, fitting in with the 2-week rota.Īs for the villain players will be able to buy monsters. If you want to unlock a hero to play as whenever you want you can either buy the character with real money or spend silver coins which are unlocked by playing the game. Here’s how the cross-platform Xbox One and PC title will play out: at launch there will be four heroes available, and every two weeks those four heroes will be swapped out for four different ones.

Microsoft and Lionhead today made a slightly surprising announcement the forthcoming Fable Legends, a 4v1 game where a team of heroes battles a player-controlled villain, is going to be free-to-play.
