Over 2 million players have added the strategy game Manor Lords to their wishlist on the Steam platform. Grzegorz Styczeń, the game’s creator and founder of the one-man studio Slavic Magic, admitted that this result exceeded his wildest expectations.
Styczeń’s surprise stemmed from the considerable uncertainty that accompanied the release of the game’s first announcement in 2020. “I astounded my girlfriend with the promise of 14 thousand wishlist entries, while her expectations were only half as high,” Styczeń said, positively surprised by the tremendous interest in Manor Lords.
The information about surpassing the magical boundary of 2 million players was delivered in a separate announcement on the Steam platform. The game’s creator thanked everyone for their support and dedication, assuring that further updates on the project’s development will be shared with the fans in the coming months.
Manor Lords has held the second position in the ranking of the most anticipated games on Steam for many months. Although the title Hades 2 still maintains the top spot, Grzegorz Styczeń’s game managed to surpass competitors such as Frostpunk 2 and Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl.
Styczeń hopes that the success of Manor Lords will inspire other developers who are struggling to release their games on the market. Despite marketing-related doubts, the creator did not give up and continued working on the game.
Manor Lords will be released on PC on April 26, including on the Game Pass system. A version for Xbox Series X/S consoles is also planned. The game promises to be an interesting city builder with real-time strategy elements, inspired by the popular Total War series. To achieve success in Manor Lords, not only an understanding of medieval economy but also strategic thinking will be necessary.
