Peter Molyneux is making a new game but he won't tell you anything about it
Peter Molyneux is making a new game. The famous game developer retreated from the spotlight after an incredibly hostile interview asked if he was a pathological liar back in 2015, but he has re-emerged and given an interview to GameReactor where he revealed he was working on a new game for consoles and PC.
«In days gone by, I would just start telling you about the whole game and the whole game design and why it was going to be the most brilliant game in the world,» said Molyneux. «I'm not going to do that.»

Regardless of your own thoughts, Molyneux is fascinating, and whatever he's cooking up we'll be keeping a close eye on it and letting you know more.
While you wait for whatever Molyneux is cooking up, there's Prime Day. Am
