Manor Lords is an upcoming medieval city-builder and real-time tactics video game developed by Greg Styczeń from Slavic Magic and published by Hooded Horse. It is planned to be released on 26 April 2024.

Gameplay

Set in 14th-century Europe, Manor Lords is a city-builder game which also includes real-time tactical aspects.[1]

Development

Greg Styczeń was the creator and solo developer of Manor Lords through his studio Slavic Magic,[2][3] and was funded through donations on Patreon.[4] Releasing an announcement trailer in July 2020, Styczeń initially aimed for the game to be wishlisted 14,000 times on Steam.[2] However, anticipation grew steadily, and Manor Lords was Steam's second-most-wishlisted game for much of 2023; it had been wishlisted over two million times by January 2024,[5] and overtook Hades II shortly before release to become the most-anticipated game on Steam.[6]

The game was originally planned to be released in late 2023, but was delayed to the following year because Styczeń felt it needed "more bugfix and polish".[7] Manor Lords is now planned to be released on 26 April 2024,[5] but will be accessible for Xbox Game Pass two days earlier on 24 April.[1]

Reception

Reception to initial demos, such as one showcased at the Xbox Partner Preview in late October 2023, was very positive, with praise directed especially at the game's complex nature.[4][1] Matt Jarvis of Rock Paper Shotgun described it as Total War, Crusader Kings and Age of Empires in a blender.[1]
