Overview
- Developer Slavic Magic and publisher Hooded Horse announced that Manor Lords has sold more than four million copies and released Major Update 8 to coincide with the milestone.
- Major Update 8 introduces a full cow economy with importable and breedable cattle plus seasonal breeding and a Hungry Animals mechanic that requires players to feed livestock in winter.
- Oats have been added as a crop that can be turned into animal feed, while new production chains let players brew apples into cider and honey into mead.
- The update adds cheesemongers, small barns for sheep and other buildings and systems changes designed to support longer production chains and seasonal work patterns.
- Hooded Horse is promoting the release with a 35% Steam discount through September 10th, the game remains in Early Access across Steam, GOG, Epic, Microsoft Store and PC Game Pass, and the developer has signaled a faster update cadence with more content planned later this year.
