Peter Molyneux’s Masters of Albion Launches on Steam Early Access

Early impressions highlight a charming return to Molyneux’s god‑game roots despite early‑access roughness.

Overview

  • Masters of Albion is now live on Steam in early access following a globally coordinated unlock reported by SteamDB and PC Gamer.
  • It costs $24.99 with a 10% launch‑week discount through April 29, and there is no preload, with an install of about 20 GB.
  • The hybrid design mixes god‑game town building, strategy, and third‑person RPG play, with daytime management and nighttime sieges by undead.
  • Hands‑on reports praise the playful tone and core loop but flag finicky aiming for spells and boulders, a basic UI, and awkward fence building.
  • Designer Peter Molyneux says he wants the game to “bring joy,” and 22cans positions early access as the start of ongoing updates.
