Let the god games begin 22cans' Godus beta available on Steam Early Access September 13th

A collective effort pulled back Curiosity’s curtain early this summer, and now it’s nearly time to play god. On September 13th, 22cans and Peter Molyneux will make the beta release of Godus, the studio’s latest “experiment” in god gaming, available via Steam Early Access for PC and Mac. The early release will cost eager overlords $19.99 and allow them to “sculpt every inch of a beautiful world,” and, of course, destroy those worlds in multiplayer battles with other virtual gods. The Kickstarter-backed nod to Molyneux’s Populous reached its funding goal in December of last year with the promise of PC, Mac and mobile compatibility and continued his focus on the video game as social experiment. Final release details are still under wraps but you can see an updated trailer after the break.

And for more Molyneux, check out our interview from E3 2013.

Update: We had a chance to catch up with Molyneux following his keynote at PAX and, among other things, he revealed release dates for iOS and Android versions of Godus: October 31st (Halloween) and November 14th (Day of the Colombian Woman), respectively.%Gallery-slideshow77099%

Peter Molyneux’s Curiosity game detailed, reportedly coming to iOS, Android, and PC on August 22

Posted in: Today's Chili

Notable computer game designer and programmer Peter Molyneux and his startup company 22Cans unveiled the game Curiosity last month. Curiosity is Molyneux’s first project since he left his tenure at Microsoft Game Studios as Creative Director. Molyneux showed off the game on Spike TV last month and pointed out a few of the game’s interesting feature

Curiosity lets players chip at a cube that’s made up of 60 million different cubes. “You’re presented with this white room. In the middle of the white room is a black cube,” he said. “If you touch on that black cube, you’ll zoom into it. This black cube is made up of millions of tiny little cubes. You can tap away at that cube.”

Molyneux added that Curiosity can support up to a million players, but noted that only one person will be able to unlock the mystery at its core. The game really got us all curious. Thankfully, Eurogamer is reporting that the game will be arriving soon to iOS, Android and PC on August 22. Pricing has yet to be revealed.
