Masters of Albion lets you play god, but Peter Molyneux proves benevolence is optional: "I want people to realize as they're playing – 'oh s**t, I am a bit evil!'"

Masters of Albion is an upcoming god game from Peter Molyneux and 22cans that allows players to shape a world and its inhabitants with godlike powers. The game features deep simulation systems, including resource management and urban planning, alongside the ability to possess any creature. Molyneux emphasizes the freedom players have to be benevolent or malevolent, with the game's systems supporting both ethical and questionable choices.
