Here's when Masters of Albion launches in your timezone

Peter Molyneux is playing the hits with Masters of Albion, returning to the god game form he helped define. Towns can be built, townsfolk can be menaced—all through the awesome, lightning-bolt throwing, boulder-dropping, peasant-flinging power of an omnipotent, hovering hand, just as tradition demands.

And it's all happening when Masters of Albion launches in early access in just a few hours. If you'd like to know precisely when you can extend your godly hand over your hapless subjects, then take hold of mine: I've listed the Masters of Albion launch time below for timezones around the world.

When does Masters of Albion launch in early access?

Masters of Albion launches in early access at 1 pm EDT / 6 pm BST on Wednesday, April 22. That provides a comfortable amount of launch day play time for the US and Europe, but anyone in Australia who's eager for a Molyneux rendezvous is going to be bleary-eyed at unlock hour.

Here's the Masters of Albion launch time for timezones around the globe:

• Los Angeles: 10 am PDT on Wednesday, April 22
• New York: 1 pm EDT on Wednesday, April 22
• London: 6 pm BST on Wednesday, April 22
• Berlin: 7 pm CEST on Wednesday, April 22
• New Delhi: 10:30 pm IST on Wednesday, April 22
• Sydney: 3 am AEST on Thursday, April 23
• Auckland: 5 am NZST on Thursday, April 23

If your timezone isn't one of those listed above, just plug the launch time into a handy timezone converter to find when you'll be able to play.

Does Masters of Albion have preloading?

It doesn't seem like it; there's been no mention of preloading on either the Masters of Albion Steam page or its various social media feeds. Its system requirements only ask for 20 GB of space, however, so it won't be a terribly long wait compared to the beefier install sizes we have to deal with nowadays.
