Medieval strategy game Manor Lords will launch in Early Access for PC via Steam and Microsoft Store on April 26, 2024, publisher Hooded Horse and developer Slavic Magic announced. It will also be available via PC Game Pass. A release for consoles and Xbox Game Pass will follow at a later date. Specific consoles were not announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via Hooded Horse:
Manor Lords is developer Slavic Magic’s highly anticipated historical city-building game set in 14th-century Europe. 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.
Key Features
- Authentic historical details inspired by 14th century Franconia, from building architecture to civilian clothing.
