Microsoft has revealed the second wave of games joining Xbox Game Pass in April 2024 and two major Day 1 releases are headlining the package: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is coming out on April 23 and just three days later the Early Access release of Manor Lords will follow – and Game Pass subscribers can play both of them immediately.

Manor Lords, of course, is the most-wishlisted game on Steam at the moment with over 2.5 million users having put the city-builder on their personal wishlist. Despite lots of content still missing from the title, its gorgeous visuals, great atmosphere, and rock-solid gameplay are already more than convincing – you can check out our Early Access impressions for more.

Of course, Manor Lords will only be available on PC for the time being, as there is no console version for the game made by solo developer Slavic Magic yet.
