Manor Lords has proclaimed it will release into Early Access in April 2024
Hooded Horse and developer Slavic Magic were on hand at the recent Xbox Partner Preview, to reveal that Manor Lords would be hitting Early Access on April 26th, with it hitting PC Game Pass on the same day, as a Game Preview title. Check out the trailer for it below.
In the game players will step into a vibrant, detailed world inspired by 14th-century medieval life as they build a new home for their people. Exploit local resources, expand the settlement, and establish robust trade routes to meet the people's ever-growing demands. Surviving the first winter will be challenging, but once players have mastered their surroundings, they’ll need to be wary of new threats such as bandits and rival lords seeking to claim territory for themselves.
Manor Lords mixes detailed city-building systems and complex production chains that feed into a real-time tactical combat layer where the workers are also the warriors. Lords can hire their own retinue, but the support of the people is crucial for serious conflicts. Not only will players need to arm and equip their citizens, they’ll also need to ensure the settlement can withstand them being away on campaign – every day absent is a day not worked, and every man slain is one less worker available to address the town’s needs.
While the game is launching into Game Pass for PC, it will also be available to Steam and Epic Game Store fans as well, so you have the chance to get the game on your store of choice.
