We have been itching to build this game for years now,
said Simon Bradbury, Co-Founder and Design Lead at Firefly Studios. It's been exciting getting to work with some of the team from back in 1999. Coders, artists, even some of the original voice actors! Stronghold is over 20 years old now, but getting our hands on many areas of the game, like updated art, better UI, UX improvements and new campaign missions, these are all things that make us happy. This is the start of a new era for Stronghold and we can't wait to show you what we've been working on.
Stronghold: Definitive Edition continues its legacy with the skills of the original team. Relive the creations of the original designers, artists, actors, and composer Robert L. Euvino.
In Stronghold, players will siege unforgettable villains and manage bustling castle economies. They can opt for combat-free gameplay through various economic game modes. Players can now experience the game with enhanced visuals and siege scenarios.
The game features the original Stronghold's classic military and economic campaigns. The latest addition to the "castle sim" series is a new 14-mission narrative campaign. The campaign is designed by Firefly Studio's founders, Simon Bradbury and Eric Ouellette. A 10-mission "Castle Trail" mode challenges players to defend or besiege historical castles.
The game includes new single-player content, technical enhancements, and quality-of-life improvements. It is now possible for players to customize the features and controls of the game based on their preferences. With Steam multiplayer support, players can wage war against each other online. Players can design challenging maps or download hundreds of player-created maps from the Steam Workshop.
Stronghold: Definitive Edition is now available to wishlist on Steam before its release on November 7.
