Peter Molyneux's Next Game Is Set In A Place Called Albion, Just Like Fable
Fable co-creator Peter Molyneux has been hard at work on a brand new game, after revealing last month that it's currently in development under the name Project MOAT. He's keeping pretty quiet about what the game is or what we can expect from it, most likely as a precaution after his overpromising days, but has now managed to confuse everyone by revealing the game will be set in a land called Albion, though seemingly not the one from the Fable series.

Oddly enough, he doesn't go into why this new land is called Albion, or whether it has any connection to the same setting from Fable.
