The highly anticipated game Manor Lords has stormed into early access with resounding success. Since its announcement trailer on YouTube in July 2020, gamers have been eagerly awaiting its release, drawn in by its stunning visuals and promises of immersive city-building and epic battles.
What sets Manor Lords apart is its challenging gameplay that demands skill, appealing to a dedicated community of strategy and city-building enthusiasts. With features like gridless placement, real-time strategy battles, and a robust urban planning system, Manor Lords captures the essence of medieval life, creating an authentic and captivating gaming experience.
Within just 24 hours of its early access launch on April 26, Manor Lords attracted an impressive 159,701 players, maintaining a strong player base of around 90,000. This achievement is especially noteworthy as Manor Lords surpassed the player counts of popular titles like Baldur’s Gate 3, GTA 5, and Destiny 2, showcasing its appeal even as an indie game without the resources of larger studios.
Adding to its success, Manor Lords is now available on PC Game Pass, allowing players to experience its allure before deciding on a purchase. Until May 10, the game is offered at a reduced price of $29.99, making it even more accessible to gamers worldwide.
While the game’s success on Steam and Game Pass is evident, players on other platforms may need to wait to explore Manor Lords’ unique features fully. The developers, Slavic Magic, and publisher, Hooded Horse, have indicated that the game may remain in early access for about a year, with adjustments based on player feedback.
Manor Lords’ remarkable start marks a significant milestone in the gaming world, drawing attention for its engaging gameplay and immersive medieval setting.
