Given the impressive sales of Fable II, it was a foregone conclusion that Lionhead Studios would make Fable III. Now we've got the first evidence the game is in development and it's from an unlikely source: British TV/radio personality Jonathan Ross.

"Goodnight all. Must go to bed. Got asked to do voice in Fable 3 tonight. Subarashi. Oyasuminasia. Woss out," Ross wrote on his Twitter last night (via Eurogamer). The next morning, he "Tweeted" that he had to "apologize to [Lionhead boss] Peter Molyneux," presumably for ruining what little surprise a Fable III announcement would bring.

Yes, that's right, more video game news via Twitter. It is really disturbing how viable a source of information that service is becoming. Anyway, Lionhead was supposedly going to announce their next project in early 2009 so we could find out whether this is bull or not pretty quickly. Maybe they'll have an unveiling at GDC.
