remake black & white 2 from lionhead studios

after reading a lot into this it appears microsoft own the copyrights to the old and classic game Black & White and Black & white 2. This series of games was 1 of a kind and in a lot of peoples opinions, one of the best series of games of its era. I was wondering if theres any way of requesting that either you consider re releasing these classic and much loved titles or making a new game based on these games dynamics !<

All I ever wanted was for Black & White 1 and 2 to be ported to XBLA. Hopefully Lionhead studios still owns the sole rights to that IP and it could happen someday. I wouldn't even care if it had a HD remake. Black & White was a better game for me than
Fable. IMO!

Cheers!

Well that sucks... Microsoft CLOSED down Lionhead Studios....

That is a big dissapointment.... never gonna get Fable 4 or Black and White 3..

Well that ruined my day.... That's so sad to find out one of the greats was crushed....

Just like Bioware and EA...

Fable 2 was awesome!

I also enjoyed Fable 2 but the last really good game Lionhead created was Black and White 2 for the PC. THAT was an amazing game. One of my favorite PC games. Nothing at all like it on the 360.

I also enjoyed Fable 2 but the last really good game Lionhead created was Black and White 2 for the PC. THAT was an amazing game. In fact its one of my all time favorite PC games. I have a lot of screenshots. Nothing at all like it on the 360 or PS3.

Hi! My name is Ben an Independent Advisor and Xbox gamer. Hope you are doing well!

I understand the confusion when it comes to this game Black and White. Originally yes it was published by Lionhead studios but not really Microsoft. It was published to be played originally on Microsoft Windows device in 2001.

Black & White is a god video game developed by Lionhead Studios and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows in 2001 and by Feral Interactive in 2002 for Mac OS.
