Peter Molyneux explains why Black & White 3 remains MIA, and then drops a tantalising teaser: 'It's such a difficult, difficult, challenging title to develop'

In a recent interview with Peter Molyneux, the designer discussed the absence of a third Black & White game and offered a tantalizing teaser about the future of the series. Fans have been eagerly awaiting a new release since the Black & White 2: Battle of the Gods expansion was released 20 years ago. Molyneux suggested that the difficulty and complexity of developing a god game is likely one of the reasons why a sequel has not been produced.

He also noted that major publishers generally focus on a few genres and business models, with live-service being the most prominent. Given the high costs and risks associated with developing a new god game, it is understandable that publishers would opt for other projects instead. However, Molyneux did drop a potential breakthrough for Black & White fans: a remaster of the series could be in the works.

While this would not be a new game, it would satisfy many fans and potentially pave the way for a future installment.
