Peter Molyneux calls Masters of Albion "a true God game"

Masters of Albion, due in Early Access on April 22, has received its first gameplay trailer. The malleable god game looks a lot like director Peter Molyneux's earlier work, blending his 1989 isometric god game Populous and his 2004 British fantasy RPG Fable. Molyneux bills Masters of Albion as "a true God game," and the project is set in the same uncopywriteable world as Fable.

A nearly seven-minute gameplay trailer offers a first look at how the systems fit together. The trailer shows players controlling everything from buildings to dessert recipes and even the minds of heroes through benign possession. Characters call the player a "big hand," a wiggling, disembodied god hand with an armored wrist, and the footage features plenty of magical zapping.
