Unconfirmed: Fable III Headed to PC, Cross-Compatible With Xbox 360

If this job listing on UK recruitment website gamesrecruit is to be believed, Lionhead has ambitious plans to implement at least some cross-compatible functionality between the Xbox 360 and the previously unannounced PC version of Fable III.

(The role involves converting and maintaining the network code of the Xbox 360 version of Fable III to the PC, and enabling the Xbox 360 version and the PC version to play together. )

The main duties of the job are listed as:

(Take an existing console codebase and make it run well on a PC. – Help architect and design any PC-specific features. – Convert the existing networking system over to Windows based libraries. – Work with the PC and 360 codebase to ensure the PC and the Xbox 360 builds can interoperate.)

The job listing was posted on the 17th February 2010.

It’s currently on Lionhead’s website too, but instead describes that the position )involves developing and maintaining the network code of an unnanounced title).

Being able to play through the game cooperatively with a buddy on the opposite system would be very nice, indeed. Thanks, Koku Gamer.
