In a remarkable display of community creativity, a group of modders has successfully ported Manor Lords to virtual reality, and the results are nothing short of astonishing! The mod, created by Flat2VR, a community of modders and developers, allows players to experience the medieval strategy game in immersive 6DOF VR, complete with mouse and keyboard controls.
The mod’s announcement on social media caught the eye of Manor Lords developer Slavic Magic, who was left impressed and bewildered by the mod’s functionality. “Wow, I have no idea how it’s done, but I’m impressed it works,” they replied. The mod is made possible thanks to UEVR, a mod that enables VR modifications for Unreal Engine-powered games.
This incredible achievement comes just days after Manor Lords’ early access release, which has already seen massive success, selling over a million copies in a single day and reaching a peak Steam player concurrent of 173,178. The game’s popularity has earned it a spot among the top indie games of 2024, alongside Palworld and Helldivers 2.
Sources that made early review praised Manor Lords as a “gorgeous medieval city-builder” that offers hours of engaging gameplay. With this VR mod, players can now experience the game in a whole new dimension, building and managing their medieval hamlets in immersive virtual reality.
The Flat2VR mod is a testament to the power of community creativity and the potential of VR gaming. Who knows what other surprises the modding community has in store for us? One thing’s for sure – Manor Lords has never looked better!
