Earlier, we learned that the Fable III Kingmaker App would let players play casual games to earn themselves in-game gold, usable on Fable III’s release. But one little bit of important information was left out: it won’t be coming to North America or Australia.
Kingmaker challenges you to check into real life locations, claiming it for your faction, using GPS on your mobile. The faction with the most territories will win, although it’s unclear if that gives you anything extra. It’s similar to the Pub Games released on XBLA in that you’ll have a little extra coin in your purse when Fable 3 launches, but different in that you’re playing in real life – checking into locations a la Foursquare.
However, speaking to Joystiq last week, a Lionhead representative said “Kingmaker is a Europe-only digital marketing promotion. No U.S. integration.”
Bummer. Guess you’ll have to grind up your gold the good ol’ fashioned way.
