Peter Molyneux's studio 22cans has revealed the release date for upcoming god game Masters of Albion, which Molyneux describes as "the culmination of [his] life's work", and it's coming in spring.
As revealed by IGN, Masters of Albion will be landing exclusively on PC on April 22nd. Molyneux has previously described the sim as his "last game", so it's also the controversial industry icon's swansong (assuming this really is his last hurrah, of course).
Molyneux and 22cans are promising that Masters of Albion will offer a blend of "cozy creativity" during the game's days and "brutal survival" when night falls, which sounds like a pretty typically ambitious combination of genres for Fable and Populous' designer.
According to 22cans and Molyneux, Masters of Albion is a "bold reimagining" of the god game genre, which Molyneux himself helped to pioneer through efforts like the aforementioned Populous, as well as games like Black & White and Dungeon Keeper.
It's angling to be a city-builder with a strong narrative element; not only will you be building and developing the town of Oakridge, but you'll also be able to zoom in and see what you've built through the eyes of the people...
