When asked if he was sure that Albion couldn't be copyrighted due to its historical context, he replied: "I don't know if I'm honest, I don't really know… I hope so. I mean you would think that the responsible person I should be, I would've spent the last six months in lawyers' offices…"

"[It's] like saying if you set a game in America, you can't set any other game in America," he says. "So Albion can't be copyrighted. It's the name for England and Wales and that's how we get away with it."
"Fable was set in Albion, Masters of Albion is set in Albion," Molyneux clarifies.
"It's not actually Fable 5 or anything like that," he said. "But if you've played Fable, then definitely Masters of Albion will be familiar to you. One of the things that we have got and we absolutely wanted a nail was the humour.
"I think in the Fable games, it's not so much about telling jokes, it's more about giving you, the player, the ability to do ridiculous and funny things. And we've got that in Masters of Albion in absolute spades. I think we're really nailing that."
