 Peter Molyneux Always up for a Challenge

Peter Molyneux has revealed that Lionhead has another game in the works that apparently came about while they were experimenting with things for Fable 2. He wouldn't get down to specifics, but being that it's Peter Molyneux, Ripten is sure he wanted to talk a big game but some lawyer had his hands on the restraining-bolt controls off camera somewhere.

He did say, however, that he's always looking for a challenge, stating:

"I've always been fascinated by challenges and I've always said to myself 'One day I really should do a sports game', simply because it's such a genre that's locked in stone – we [developers] know how we do sports games and we don't do them any other way, and that is a real challenge to me. Same with things like, you know, driving games."
