Peter Molyneux knows he's spent over 40 years in the video game industry – but he isn't sure how much longer he'll stay there.

The Fable designer was emotional during his interview with Edge for its new magazine issue 416, out now, as he described plans to stop making games after his upcoming strategy game Masters of Albion launches.

"I know people are going to say, 'Come on, it won't be your last game," says Molyneux, "but, you know, I'm 66 years old." The developer – who once implored people in a 2023 blog to "be patient. Please be understanding" – tells Edge, "I'm working as hard as I've ever worked in my life. And I just haven't got the life energy left to do this again."
