Manor Lords, the highly anticipated city-building game from Slavic Magic, has set a new milestone by becoming the most wishlisted game in Steam’s history. With over 3 million wishlists, Manor Lords has surpassed all previous records and is poised to become one of the most popular games on the platform.
The game, which combines medieval aesthetics with city-building mechanics, has been in development for several years and has garnered significant attention since its demo was first released in 2022. The demo quickly surpassed 500,000 wishlists, setting the stage for the game’s eventual success.
As Manor Lords’ release date approached, the game’s wishlist count continued to grow exponentially. It reached the 2 million milestone shortly after the announcement of its 2024 release date and then hit 2.5 million during its marketing campaign. With less than a week to go before its early access launch, Manor Lords has now reached the unprecedented milestone of 3 million wishlists.
This achievement is a testament to the game’s strong appeal and the anticipation surrounding its release. City-building games have always been popular, but Manor Lords’ medieval setting and unique gameplay mechanics have set it apart from the competition. The game’s developer, Slavic Magic, is a small Polish studio led by Greg Styczeń, who has previously worked as a solo developer. Manor Lords is their first major release, and its success is a significant achievement for the studio.
Manor Lords is set to release in early access on April 26th for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The full release is expected to follow later in 2023.
