Host Geoff Keighley made an effort to convince the audience that Peter Molyneux had changed. He highlighted that Molyneux had kept quiet about his self-funded project, Masters of Albion.
This was a departure from his previous bluster, and a response to the issues with his previous project, Godus. Molyneux’s reputation has been tarnished by the failures of his studio, 22Cans, and the unfulfilled promises related to Godus.
However, he has expressed regret for his past behavior and expressed a desire to redeem himself. Efforts to reform his image are evident in recent interviews, where Molyneux has been cautious about overpromising and has shown enthusiasm for his new game.
His attempts to stay low-profile and allow his work to speak for itself have led to some skepticism, but also some anticipation for Masters of Albion. The trailer for Masters of Albion has generated interest, with its features and gameplay revealing potential for a successful and promising project.
With no signs of controversial monetization or unfulfilled promises, there is a sense of optimism surrounding Molyneux’s newest endeavor.
