Over the last few months, the strategic city-builder, Manor Lords, from developer Hooded Horse has maintained the position as the top-most wish-listed game on Steam. But now, the indie game is finally launching into early access for PC, Xbox and Xbox Game Pass on April 26, 2024. Hooded Horse’s simulation game seems to have a lot in common with Age of Empires at first glance, but it’s also wildly different. One of the ways it differs is in regards to multiplayer.

BTW, Manor Lords is currently on sale for PC at CDKeys.

Is Manor Lords multiplayer?

No. As of right now, it is only a single-player game. It’s possible that the developers could add multiplayer as time goes on, but last we heard through a Reddit response in 2020, the devs want to “polish the single player element first before considering multi.”

Specifically, back in 2020 Reddit user, @Willaguy, asked in the Manor Lords subreddit if there were “any plans for multiplayer?” To which, Slavic Magic dev, @gstyczen, responded, “Thanks! I want to polish the single player element first before considering multi.” So it sounds like multiplayer isn’t out of the question, it’s just definitely not here at early access launch.
