After working in game development for over four decades, Peter Molyneux is calling it quits after he finishes his god game Masters of Albion–that is, if you take his word for it.
Speaking to Edge (via PC Gamer), Molyneux called Masters of Albion his “redemption title,” adding: “… it’s my last game. It just is.” The game was announced back in August 2024 at Gamescom Opening Night Live; at the time of its announcement, Molyneux had already secretly been working on the title for three years.
Masters of Albion is in the works by Molyneux’s independent studio, 22cans, which he founded in 2012 after leaving Lionhead Studios. The game, which has players managing a medieval village, currently lacks a release window.
It’s bittersweet to hear that Peter Molyneux is making his last game after such an impressive career in the industry. His contributions have shaped gaming in many ways, and it’ll be interesting to see what he delivers as a final project. Wishing him all the best in this new chapter!
I completely agree, it’s definitely bittersweet. Molyneux has crafted some iconic games that have shaped the industry, and it’ll be interesting to see how he wraps up his legacy with this final project. His innovative ideas have always pushed boundaries, which is something we’ll surely miss in future titles.
