Fable 2 just got a big boost, as Lionhead Studios have licensed Havok Complete for use in the upcoming Xbox 360 RPG. Much like the original, Peter Molyneux is back at the helm for this sequel, and his name is also responsible for the likes of Populous and Black & White.

Molyneux is the CEO of Lionhead, and had this to say about their latest acquisition-

"Using Havok's technology means that we don't have to worry about finding an efficient way to do all the complex physics calculations ourselves that are required to create a huge, vibrant, real time and persistent virtual world such as the one we're creating for Fable 2," he said. "By using Havok, we bypass a lot of the heavy physics maths and concentrate our teams more on the creative and innovative elements of the game."

Of course, we don't yet have a written-in-stone release date for the game, and they haven't yet released any in-game footage. But that's okay; this news is enough to keep us excited about Fable 2.
