Peter Molyneux is known for popular games such as Fable, Populous and Black & White, but he is also known for his exaggerated promises and statements. This has made him one of the least credible developers in the industry.
Apparently, the creative has not quite learned his lesson, as he recently stated that his next game will include a never-before-seen mechanic. Yes, once again Molyneux resorted to exaggerations to raise excitement for his next game, which he compared to Fable and more sagas.
Molyneux is working on a "revolutionary" game for consoles or PC
22cans, Molyneux's studio, has focused in recent years on games for mobile devices. Now, the creative wants to return to console and PC development, so he is already preparing a new game that will be an experience similar to Fable, Black & White or Dungeon Keeper.
Molyneux did not rule out its arrival on mobile, but assured that they need the power of current consoles and computers to make it happen. In order not to give up the habit, he added that he found a mechanic never seen before, so it will be an important part of the game.
“I do think we have stumbled [...] on a mechanic that has never been seen in a game before. I feel like we are exploiting that mechanic in a world and an environment, which may be familiar to people. And because it is in a familiar environment, it'll be a lot fresher. And a lot of this is very mystical, because I'm trying to avoid telling you what it's like.
"It's going to be a lot more like a Fable, Black & White, Dungeon Keeper type of experience. We've almost [...] made the decision to make it a PC/console title, rather than it being mobile. I'm not saying that we're never going to do it on mobile, but we're definitely leading on PC and console, mainly because we need the power,” said the creative.
Molyneux has been the target of criticism due to his exaggerated statements about the features and gameplay of his titles in the past, which generated expectations that most of the time were not fully met.
