Manor Lords | Release Date Reveal Trailer
Manor Lords | Release Date Reveal Trailer
Early access comes out on 26 April 2024.
I'm excited to see how the game plays, and how much it has changed since the last free-play event was held.
Weird thing to say, but this game has the best muddy paths in games.
Nice! Been watching this for so long, super happy it's coming to GOG! Own what you buy guys!
April already. Nice!
Yeah that was a nice little surprise! When I saw the release trailer, I was honestly expecting it to drop late 2024.
I've been eyeing this one for a while. Kind of reminds me of Stronghold in its heydays.
Awesome! I've been excited for this game for a while now, glad to see it finally get a date. I might have to break my no-early-access rule for this one.
Early Access is just a marketing strategy these days anyway. I have a couple of games in my library that have been "early access" for nearly a decade. For all intents and purposes, the games are complete, but the devs just keep adding new features. Outside of the major AAA companies, games these days seem to just be ever-evolving, so long as sales are enough to keep the dev interested in adding new features.
Yeah, it looks like these days it's more of a way for a developer to state that they intend to make changes in more drastic and sudden ways than what you would expect from a normal release (and also a way to benefit from the exposure of two launch events I guess). It's just that some of these types of releases in the past were launched more as a way to test the waters for concepts that were abandoned when they didn't find early success so I'm still a bit weary from those days.
A more cynical person would argue that the quality of most high-production releases at this point qualify as "early-access" anyway. But I'm definitely not that jaded, no sir.
