Medieval city builder Manor Lords is a smash hit, selling two million copies in just three weeks.
Manor Lord Launches into Early Access, Tears Up the Charts with Over 170K Concurrent Users

Between Palworld, Helldivers 2, and now Manor Lords, it’s been a year of games coming out of left field and achieving runaway success.
Manor Lords, a medieval city building game that is equal parts Banished and Total War, is one of the most wishlisted game on Steam with an estimated three million wishlists, and launched into Early Access this week, tearing up the charts with a 170,000 concurrent user peak as of the writing of this article.
The game is an impressive feat by Slavic Magic developer Greg Styczen, a single indie dev from Poland, though he was able to outsource some work through his Patreon and money received as part of an Epic MegaGrant.
Manor Lords originally caught fire with its demo released back in 2022, driving over half a million new wishlists at the time and putting the title on many gamers’ radar.
The game features city-building mechanics with many of the typical trappings of the genre, but also allows players to fight for territory in huge battles reminiscent of what one would find in games in the Total War series.
Manor Lords is available now in Early Access on Steam, PC Game Pass, Epic Games, and GOG.

No Rest for the Wicked Early Access Review
When No Rest for the Wicked was released in Early Access, there was excitement, bt it wasn't without issue. Initially, the game had a staggeringly unsteady frame rate and other technical issues — which is to be expected from a game in Early Access. But developer Moon Studio has rolled out patch after patch, rectifying these issues and more or less changing the game over a series of weeks. I had the opportunity to play No Rest for the Wicked in its earlier stages, marred by frame drops and freezes, and more recently, as the game itself has evened out. And what I’ve found lies beneath is a game that blends the isometric and action RPG genres together in a tantalizing way that could shape up to be something exciting, even if it isn’t exactly original.
