Playtesters apparently think Peter Molyneux's new game has a lot in common with his old one: Fable.

Peter Molyneux's upcoming Masters of Albion mixes all of his greatest hits into one god game stew, from Dungeon Keeper to Black & White's ability to reach out into the world with a giant, physical hand to either place buildings or literally make sandwiches or shake villagers about until their brains scramble. Then you can zoom right into the world with a possession ability that lets you see the world through the eyes of a hero or even a chicken.
