Peter Molyneux Sets April 22 Steam Launch for PC-Exclusive Masters of Albion

Molyneux frames the project as a career capstone—his final game—seeking redemption for past overpromises.

Overview

  • 22cans confirmed a April 22, 2026 launch on Steam for Windows PC, targeting 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT, with no console versions announced.
  • A new trailer and Steam page outline a hybrid god game that blends strategy, simulation, town management, and tower defense with daytime building and nighttime RTS-style defense.
  • Players wield a ‘god hand’ to shape towns, cast powers, and possess NPCs or animals, switching to direct combat by inhabiting heroes during nocturnal assaults.
  • The studio highlights a veteran team including Mark Healey, Russell Shaw, Iain Wright, and Kareem Ettouney, drawing on Bullfrog and Lionhead pedigrees.
  • Current coverage notes the game does not include blockchain mechanics and does not advertise generative AI features.
