Manor Lords currently does not have multiplayer, but the dev hasn’t ruled it out as a possible feature that could be added later. For now, though, Manor Lords will be a single-player experience with its launch on April 26.

On a Reddit post, the game dev said they plan to “polish the single-player element first” before considering adding multiplayer. This means a potential multiplayer feature likely won’t be seen anytime soon, even if the dev decides to add one.

The dev also addressed another question about co-op multiplayer on Steam and said it “would be cool to add later on” but reiterated that the single-player experience is the main priority since this mode is what the game was built around.

You may not be able to team up, battle against, or otherwise engage with other players in Manor Lords when it launches, but the good news is that it’s not completely off the table. But considering this game is being developed by just one dev, it will likely take quite a long time for multiplayer to be added if they decide to introduce it.

If you’re planning to jump in and play Manor Lords yourself, you might want to know whether it’s on Game Pass and what PC specs you need. Knowing this information is crucial for starting your city-building and enemy-battling journey.
