Microsoft has announced an agreement with Prima Games and Random House to publish Fable: At the Edge of the World, a book that will fill in the events between Fable III and the upcoming Fable: The Journey. There will also be a series of digital-only shorts that will be released from May to June of this year, complimenting the downloadable game Fable: Heroes.

“The Fable canon – the stories, characters, and gameplay that we’ve crafted for many years, is near and dear to the hearts of our loyal fans and the employees at Lionhead Studios,” explained Lionhead Studios business manager Gareth Sutcliffe. “We believe Random House Worlds will do an excellent job representing our storied franchise and creating assets our fans will find highly valuable.”
