Built by a team that includes legends of the industry, Mark Healey, Russell Shaw, Iain Wright and Kareem Ettouney, who were key in developing Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, and Fable, Masters of Albion reimagines the god game for today. Blending strategy, simulation, town management, and real-time defence, the game gives players extraordinary freedom to play the game the way they want to play it.

The story of Albion is one of power and consequence, a rich and deep narrative set in a world full of quests and moral choices. Design, build and customise your world, from the food your people eat to the clothes they wear, the weapons they wield to the homes they live in.

Navigate your way through intrigue and plot – kings come and go, lords shake you by the hand then stab you in the back, and the people work like dogs and are treated no better.

Gifted god like, ancient powers, you face an enemy the likes of which have not been seen in hundreds of years. Magic is returning to the hills and halls of Albion, threatening to tear down the the very foundations of society. Unravel the mystery of the mages, defeat the enemy that lurks in the night and conquer a sorcery that could kill us all.

Some are born with power, some achieve power, and some have great power thrust upon them.

22cans announced that Masters Of Albion will launch on April 22, 2026, exclusively on PC (Steam).

A brand-new release date trailer showcases the game’s unique blend of cosy creativity by day and brutal survival by night.

“Masters Of Albion is the culmination of my life’s work, a game that owes so much to titles like Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, and Fable. It’s a totally unique game that we hope will delight players, a game that brings God Games into the modern gaming landscape and puts the genre firmly back on the map,” said Peter Molyneux.
