Peter Molyneux Dates ‘Masters of Albion’ for April Steam Early Access as He Praises Fable Reboot

He frames the project as his final “true God game,” fusing top-down control with direct character play as a capstone to his career.

Overview

  • 22 Cans confirmed Masters of Albion will launch on April 22, 2026 on PC via Steam Early Access.
  • A new nearly seven-minute gameplay trailer shows a hybrid of god-sim, real-time strategy, town management, and the ability to possess NPCs for third-person combat and exploration.
  • Molyneux and 22 Cans describe the game as his last, calling it the culmination of his life's work and a return to the classic God game style.
  • Early preview reactions are skeptical, with PC Gamer criticizing the multi-genre approach as a 'jack of all trades' that lacks punch.
  • Reacting to Playground’s Fable reboot, Molyneux said he teared up, praised its faithful tone, noted a slightly 'antiseptic' look, and said he expects to be among the first to play it; the reboot is targeting Fall 2026.
