Manor Lords developer Greg «Slavic Magic» Styczeń announced in the usual fashion (a <a data-analytics-id=«inline-link» href=«https://x.com/LordsManor/status/1812896892017111274?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1812896892017111274%7Ctwgr%5E1932b020c0b109e9cbd319c64265f12962fbaeae%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ffeedly.com%2Fi%2Fcollection%2Fcontent%2Fuser%2F574ed570-a871-4c41-9477-e6e79b7d11f5%2Fcategory%2F1a7d9edd-e8c1-4588-8e54-0f854e876278» target="_blank" data-url=«https://x.com/LordsManor/status/1812896892017111274?ref_src=» https: referrerpolicy=«no-referrer-when-downgrade» data-hl-processed=«none»>random post on X
