Peter Molyneux may have spent the last couple decades earning a reputation as the game industry’s biggest bullshitter, but to those of us of a certain age he will always rank among the greats (and the biggest bullshitter descriptor will always be deployed with a certain affection). The guy had a run through the 1990s that was almost unparalleled: Populous, Syndicate, Theme Park, Power Monger, Dungeon Keeper, and even Black & White, although it wasn’t a 1990s game and didn’t do much for me.
Anyway, the bottom line is that those roots run deep, and so when Molyneux sticks his head up to say he’s making his “last game,” as he did in October 2025, we’re obligated to pay attention. Right? Well, I am, anyway, and so it is that I’ll be looking to give Masters of Albion a go when it drops on April 22.
Watch On
If nothing else, Masters of Albion has this going for it: It’s not a mobile game, it’s not a blockchain game, and it’s not whatever the hell Curiosity was supposed to be. At this point, that’s a solid start, Masters of Albion will be available exclusively for PC, and only on Steam.
