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."
Molyneux recalled his previous games, Black & White and Fable, which ended in grand fashion. He has grand ideas for Masters of Albion, too, hinting that the game will end on something "huge." While he's teasing something big, he noted that the only way for the sequel and threequel to get made is if there's an audience for them.
"My overall desire is that Masters of Albion just brings joy to people," Molyneux said. "And if it brings joy to people and there are enough people, we'll definitely be going forward with [Masters of Albion] 2 and 3. But you need money to do this."
This is curious, coming from Molyneux, but not too out of the ordinary for a game designer prone to serving tea way before it's had time to steep. In October 2025, Molyneux said that his tendency to overpromise in the past has burned him in his present. With Masters of Albion, he supposedly hopes to break that curse of his.
Also in October 2025, Molyneux admitted that Masters of Albion would be his last game because his drinking and smoking habits have left him with very little "life energy" to do this again. Maybe chapter one of Masters of Albion will actually be Molyneux's last, and the series will continue without him in the way that Fable is--which may incite him to both get emotional and throw shade.
Masters of Albion: Chapter One--if that's what we're supposed to refer to it as now--launches on Steam in early access on April 22.
