Manor Lords, the anticipated medieval strategy game, will launch in Early Access for PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store on April 26, 2024, according to the announcement from Hooded Horse and Slavic Magic, the publisher and developer respectively. It will also be available through PC Game Pass, with plans for a later release on consoles and Xbox Game Pass, although consoles have not been specified.
In Manor Lords, players will immerse themselves in a detailed and vibrant world inspired by medieval life in the 14th century. They will have to build a new home for their people, exploit local resources, expand the settlement and establish strong trade routes to meet the growing demands of the population. Surviving the first winter will be a challenge, but once players master their environment, they will need to be on the lookout for new threats, such as bandits and rival lords seeking to claim territory.
Manor Lords combines detailed city building systems and complex production chains that feed a layer of real-time tactical combat, where workers are also warriors. Lords can hire their own retinue, but the support of the people is crucial to face serious conflicts. In addition to arming and equipping their citizens, players will need to ensure that the settlement can withstand their absence in the campaign, as every day absent is a day off work and each fallen man is one less worker available to serve the needs of the people. the city.
