When I spoke to Fable creator and 22cans founder Peter Molyneux about Masters of Albion earlier this year, he told me that he simply wanted it to bring “joy.” It’s a word that resonated throughout our discussion: one that Molyneux is clearly passionate about. It’s been a rocky road for him, after all: post-Lionhead, things haven’t been easy. Unfortunately renowned for his tendency to “overpromise” and underdeliver – something he’s since apologized for profusely – there’s a lot riding on Masters of Albion. Reputationally, it could be the salve that Molyneux needs, but it could also mark the triumphant return of the god game – a genre that hasn’t really been well-served since the Black and White days. It’s a title that I’ve been excited about since its reveal – I’m a longtime Fable fan, and spent my youth tinkering with Black and White. My hopes, then, were high.
Masters of Albion does what Peter Molyneux promised, “it brings joy”
