‘We’re going to make some horrendous mistakes,’ Peter Molyneux says about his upcoming swan song Masters of Albion: ‘Horrendous, horrendous mistakes’

Masters of Albion is not only Peter Molyneux’s final game (so he says, anyway), it’s also a sort of getting-the-band-back-together moment with collaborators from the early days at Lionhead.
