Following our extensive Mega Q&A series we’re rounding off the year with a full development update for Stronghold Next! We dive into the production, programming, art and design of Next in our first ever dev diary for the upcoming castle sim. Watch as four Stronghold developers provide a snapshot of where we’re at in terms of production, as well as revealing brand new details about the game!

Player feedback is already a huge part of the development for Next and in our end of year update we go into specifics. We’re improving castle walls, adding classic castle life features, a more cinematic single player campaign and more. In addition the team are planning technical improvements including staged destruction for your castle, better textures and of course all-new units with fresh animations.

Stronghold Halloween Update

Undead Peasants & New Castle Cosmetics!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rB3rOml_Nc


Rest in peace Nick… Today our Marketing Manager sacrifices himself to bring you Halloween updates for three separate Stronghold games! Celebrating this most unhallowed time of year your peasants have been cursed in Stronghold Crusader 2, Stronghold Legends and Stronghold 2. In Crusader 2 they are reduced to little more than dust and bones until All Hallows’ Eve, these lifeless subjects wandering decrepit castles in a dire state of disrepair. Tomb stones, rotting pumpkins, cobwebs and more adorn once magnificent castle structures, along with corrupt colours and unholy flames in the workshops of your medieval minions.



The return of the Stronghold Halloween Update and corruption of Sir William also means the curse once again falls on our Steam Edition games! Terrify your workers with horrifically impractical and yet somehow perfectly balanced pumpkin-head peasants or purge them from your castle with green wildfire. Keep them working to fight back against the curse or cower and wait for the horror to pass after Halloween has ended.



Our Stronghold Halloween updates are now available on Steam for players with the latest versions of Stronghold Crusader 2, Stronghold 2: Steam Edition and Stronghold Legends: Steam Edition. This event will last for one week with the above cosmetic changes in place until November 1st. After this the curse will fall, your peasants returning to normal, fire returning to its natural non-demonic colours and castles restored to their former splendour.

Happy Halloween!
