Here’s when Masters of Albion launches in your timezone
Masters of Albion, a new god game by legendary designer Peter Molyneux, enters early access on April 22nd on PC, with an Xbox version planned for the future. The game represents Molyneux’s return to and reimagining of the god game genre he helped pioneer through classics like Fable and Black & White.
Gameplay revolves around managing the world of Albion through a mystical “God Hand” mechanic that grants players godlike powers. Players can build and manage towns, engage in exploration and combat, and directly manipulate the environment and inhabitants—throwing lightning bolts, dropping boulders, and flinging peasants in the classic tradition of the genre. This hands-on approach to divine intervention is central to the experience.
Molyneux has expressed exceptional enthusiasm about the project, calling Masters of Albion’s launch the most significant event of his 40-year career outside of his son’s birth. The statement underscores both his personal investment in the game and the importance of this return to the genre that defined his legacy in game development.
