Publisher Hooded Horse and developer Slavic Magic revealed today that the upcoming medieval strategy title Manor Lords has a release date. Players will be able to don the mantle of Medieval Lord as they oversee their own medieval manor on April 26. Manor Lords will also launch as a Day One title on Game Pass for PC.
Yes, mi’lord?
Manor Lords features a unique playstyle, allowing players to manage the city-building of their manor while also fighting off threats such as bandits and rival lords. As a lord, players will exploit the local resources to build up their castle and surrounding kingdom. As you expand your settlement you will establish trade routes and master your surroundings as you seek to meet the demands of your people.
In terms of combat, Manor Leads features a real-time tactical combat system where you rally your working population in your manor as militia to join you on the battlefield. As your military is also your workforce, each death on the battlefield can result in a labor shortage once the war is over.
It was also revealed that Manor Lords will eventually make its way to consoles as well, at which time it will also be a Day One on Xbox title.
I’ve had my eye on Manor Lords since it was revealed. There was a demo during a Steam Next Fest months ago and I know a lot of people enjoyed it. Even though I didn’t get a chance to play it, the bits I saw looked like quite an experience. It looks like things have been even further optimized as well. It’s always cool when you get to build things and then also go down in first person and explore.
Manor Lords releases on April 26 on PC and as a Day One on Game Pass title.
