Masters of Albion does what Peter Molyneux promised, “it brings joy”

When I spoke to Fable creator and 22cans founder Peter Molyneux about Masters of Albion earlier this year, he told me that he simply wanted it to bring “joy.” It’s a word that resonated throughout our discussion: one that Molyneux is clearly passionate about.
