Released in 1989, Populous was a major success for Bullfrog and went on to sell over 4 million copies. On 7 March 2012, Molyneux announced that he would be leaving Lionhead and Microsoft — after the completion of Fable: The Journey — to begin work at a company founded by former Lionhead Studios CTO Tim Rance called 22Cans.
