Legendary designer Peter Molyneux and his digital game studio 22Cans is delivering what they’re calling the “regenesis of the god game” in Godus.  The game lets players take on the role of a god just as in classics of the genre, altering the environment, gathering worshippers and creating a civilization. In a very Molyneux-like nod to modern times, the game also features clashes between gods, as in other players, and their worshippers.

For those who remember, Godus is also the game where a real-life person will be a god for all players in the game.  Bryan Henderson was selected as the winner after smashing through 22Cans’s previous game, Curiosity, and will have a hand in the initial environments found in Godus.

Godus will be appearing in beta form under Steam’s Early Access program for $19.99 on September 13.
