Manor Lords, the hotly-anticipated medieval city-builder that recently became the most-wishlisted game on Steam, has gained 500,000 prospective players in the past three months - far more than its solo developer's girlfriend predicted it would ever gain.
Yesterday, Manor Lords publisher Hooded Horse confirmed that it had hit 2.5 million wishlists on Steam, a milestone likely hit off the back of the news that the strategy game had overtaken Hades 2 to become the most-anticipated game on Valve's platform. It's an impressive feat - many of the top-performing games on the wishlist chart are sequels to beloved games - Hades, Hollow Knight, Ark, Frostpunk, and Stalker all maintain a presence in the top ten, but Manor Lords sits ahead of all of them.
