Peter Molyneux Debuts New God Game, Masters Of Albion

As a seasoned gamer with memories of my youth filled with the magical worlds created by Peter Molyneux, the news of his return to video games fills me with unbridled excitement! Three long years he’s been toiling away, crafting the enigmatic Masters of Albion. The tantalizing glimpses we’ve had so far have only served to whet my appetite for this god game reimagined.


Video game creator Peter Molyneux is back in the gaming world and unveiled his latest endeavor, titled “Masters of Albion,” during Gamescom Opening Night Live. This upcoming project harks back to Molyneux’s beginnings in deity games, infused with a touch of fresh innovations.

As an enthusiastic admirer, I was captivated by the sneak peek of gameplay where a disembodied hand, reminiscent of my favorite games, hovered above a quaint medieval hamlet. Peter Molyneux hinted that this time we’ll have the power to oversee intricate aspects of our community, including their dietary preferences. Intriguingly, he suggested that we could even nudge them towards eating rats, if we felt so adventurous!

Tonight, we’re thrilled to welcome a very distinguished guest – Peter Molyneux! He’s with us tonight to unveil his top-secret project that he’s been crafting for an astonishing THREE years. Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for Masters of Albion! #OpeningNightLive

Building a robust defense for your village is crucial as it’s vulnerable to nightly monster attacks. During these encounters, you can either step into the action from a third-person perspective, engaging directly with the monsters as one of your champions, or unleash divine power upon them. Alternatively, you can switch back and forth between these perspectives during gameplay. Molyneux demonstrated his champion meeting an untimely end, only to regroup and strengthen them in the village the following day.

22cans Studio, home of Peter Molyneux, is the creator behind Masters of Albion. You can add it to your wishlist on Steam, though a specific release date hasn’t been announced yet.
