Game designer Peter Molyneux has returned to video games, and debuted his next project during Gamescom Opening Night Live. The new project, called Masters of Albion, goes back to Molyneux's roots in god games, with a few new twists.

We have a very special guest joining us tonight, Peter Molyneux! He’s here to reveal his new game, which he’s secretly been working on for the past THREE years. This is Masters of Albion! #OpeningNightLive pic.twitter.com/6otYlm9BAp
