Fable II, which ships on October 21st, will not include its much anticipated Online Co-op mode on day one. Apparently Microsoft and Lionhead Studios are still hammering out a few kinks. Offline Co-op will be included and you will still see your online friends as glowing orbs and will be able to chat and trade with them. But you won't be able to play with them.

The developers hope to get the patch out in North America within a week of the game's launch, but there is no word for release of the patch in other regions.
