Manor Lords is Releasing on April 26th
The number one spot for the most wishlisted game on Steam is Manor Lords, the upcoming medieval strategy game developed by Slavic Magic, which is set to release on April 26th, 2024. Manor Lords was first announced back in 2020, and even by that point, it was already in development for more than three years. The game is a gridless medieval city builder which features a handcrafted world with stunning graphics and a combat system which is very similar to the Total War franchise. Following a lot of teasers and a demo that was released in 2022, the game has managed to reach a wide audience and has quickly become one of the most anticipated games of the year.
In January of 2024, the developers revealed that Manor Lords has reached the milestone of 2 million Steam wishlists, making it the most anticipated game on the platform. With strategy sim games making a huge comeback in the past few years, a lot of players are interested to see a new take on the genre that is not made by Paradox or Creative Assembly. Manor Lords is inspired by the art and architecture of late 14th-century Franconia, and the developers have stated that it aims to avoid medieval tropes in favor of historical accuracy, which will make the game feel more authentic and believable.

Nonetheless, the game seems like a very promising and unique take on the genre, so if you are interested in city builders or even the historical period that it takes place in, you might want to give it a try!
That is everything you need to know about Manor Lords. The Early Access stage of the game is coming out on April 26th, and if you are interested in a medieval strategy simulator, make sure to keep an eye out for it.
