Firefly Studios is celebrating the 20-year legacy of the Stronghold series with a brand new Definitive Edition. Stronghold: Definitive Edition is updating the iconic castle sim with modern gameplay, improved visuals, Steam-integrated multiplayer, and a new campaign.


The game will feature the original game’s classic military and economic campaigns as well as a new 14-mission narrative campaign. On top of that, a 10-mission “Castle Trail” mission pack will allow you to defend or siege real historical castles. And if that’s not enough, Stronghold: Definitive Edition will even allow you to create and share your own maps.


“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 is coming to Steam on November 7. You can check out the trailer below:
