Despite saying last year that his upcoming god game Masters Of Albion would be his last game, English game designer Peter Molyneux has claimed that this game is actually just one chapter in a planned trilogy.
Speaking to IGN on February 11, Molyneux said that Masters of Albion will launch in early access as chapter one in a three-part “epic.” It’s a “complete game” that will feature the familiar beats of the hero’s journey.
“So this is an epic,” Molyneux said. “We are thinking about three epic chapters, I suppose you’d call them. Then what we’ll be releasing into early access will be chapter one, and it’s going to take us quite a few years to get to chapter three. But this chapter one, it has a story. It starts as a classic story of a hero coming and finding his power. There was an adversary who was doing something awful. There was a confrontation. It’s a classic. This first chapter is a classic beat of that narrative story. There’s going to be love, loss, hate, and betrayal in that first episode of the story. So it is a complete game. We are just thinking bigger rather than, ‘Right, this is the game. That’s it.’ We’ve always been thinking about this bigger story.”
