Co-op is a simple setup where, at any time and at any point in the adventure, a friend can plug in a controller, hit start, and join your game world. This player is considered a henchman, who assists on your adventure. He can do anything he might do in his own game -- fart, kill Hobs, kick chickens -- and takes all his earned experience, gold and renown with him when he pops back off to his own version of Albion. The only thing he won't have is his own dog.

"It's super, super... different". Multiplayer. That's right, we've not gone crazy here. Fable 2 is going to feature dynamic multiplayer co-op. A second player can jump into your quest at any time and - here's the best part - charge for their henchman services. Co-operative play extends far beyond the life of a ruthless mercenary. Anything you earn in somebody else's world, be it items, experience, gold or renown points, can be brought back to your own world.
