Greetings sire! Your stronghold awaits you. The ultimate version of our first ‘castle sim’ is now available on Steam with upgraded visuals, new missions, Steam multiplayer support and more. We are incredibly excited to be launching our first 2D Stronghold game with new content for over 20 years and even more thrilled by your warm response to the game over the past few months.
When we were in the planning stages for Stronghold: Definitive Edition we had faith in the demand for new 2D isometric strategy games, but could never be 100% sure. Your overwhelming support, feedback and love for our series’ 2D roots made this project possible and we cannot wait to hear what you think of it. This game has been a labour of love for the team, both for Stronghold 1 itself and also a bygone golden era of isometric 2D strategy. We hope that shines through in the game, as we continue to improve it with updates and new content into early 2024.
As a way of saying ‘Thank you!’ on the community side, please enjoy our launch trailer scored by series maestro Robert L. Euvino with a brand new Castle Jam inspired composition. The man himself was kind enough to compose this new piece for the launch of Stronghold: DE, a roaring tribute to your favourite Stronghold song, celebrating the launch of a project that is dear to us.
Stronghold: Definitive Edition comes packed with new graphics made using the original source art, a new 14 mission single player campaign, 10 mission historical castle trail, remastered audio, returning voice actors, community requested features, gameplay modernisations, Steam multiplayer, Workshop support and more. It is out now on Steam with a 10% launch week discount!

Happy Launch Day everyone! Thank you for your support, feedback and dedication to Stronghold. Enjoy the game :) - The Firefly Team
FYI Firefly: Typo in flash text "Kindgom" near the end 😅
❤❤❤
Is there at least 1% of chances, that I and my wife could again be castle-mates in this game? ;-; Just like in Stronghold Crusader 2? ;----; I would cry tears of joy
Enjoy yourselves at the pub!
No skirmish no buy
When I was 6 years old, I watched my big brother play. Since then I have invested countless hours into the Stronghold series. I am happy to also be part of Stronghold DE. Here we go!
Lmao I played it when I was 5😂 it was very fun so that my father also joined to play😂
same bruh
@@XD-qx6sq yep same my dad used to play this game alot,he started playing this game when the game got released and i was 2 years old back then and now im 24,time does fly
You're a dedicated besieger, sire!
same man, my brother was like 23 and i was 5 or so, i still remember him building towers and putting down windmills but never got the game's name, found it like 1 year ago and been playing tons of Stronghold HD and Crusader, wanna hop on a game bro?
Was the trailer supposed to give me goosebumps?... because it sure did. Well done!
Can we thank Robert L. Euvino's brand new composition for this?
@@fireflyworlds Stronghold 1's soundtrack was so well made, that my music teacher didn't even believe it was made for a videogame
@@duteythat's legit awesome! 😎
same here :)))
🎉#LESGO❤🏳️🌈
So much nostalgia. Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader were the gaming cornerstones of my childhood!
Hope you enjoy the new campaign :)
Big props to whoever made the music here! Goosebumps!
Robert L. Euvino is a genius!
😍
Hitherto it has been declared I'm both a genius AND a legend. And because it has been decreed as such, it must be truth! Strange though, if anyone who knows me personally saw this they'd just roll their eyes and throw up in their mouth a little. 🤪
@@roberteuvino6895 haha you’re a legend man!
I hope the game will have great success cause you deserve it. Listnening to the comunity is nowadays really rare thing. Thank you for keeping this beautiful series alive. Many of us have grown with these games. I started when I was 8. Next year im going to the University.
How weird. Anyways. Sire, Your Castle awaits you!
So far so good :) Enjoy uni!
Got the OG Stronghold from my parents when I was like 5 years old, because I was interested in knights and castles and videogames. I didn't actually _beat it_ until a year or two ago but it was so formative for me lmao. The artstyle was and remains unmatched and this remaster really seems to be keeping the soul intact, can't wait to try it out
Let us know what you think!
I love that they returned to the roots and the classic version of the game.
All the nostalgic feelings are back.
Definitely going to play it with my brother.
give us STRONGHOLD CRUSADER 3 ASAP we are grinding on the same game for 20 year
starting from this part 0:45 - 0:50 was pretty neat video editing! Well done to whoever edited this! (rhythm)
Me and my siblings used to play the stronghold demo on my grandparent's computer religiously. I don't know why we never asked for the full game but I always cherished those memories and even picked up the game during the pandemic. The definitive edition was a complete shock to me (didn't even know about it until after it was released) and i've been having a blast. I told my siblings about it during thanksgiving and it was the perfect catalyst to discussing fun memories from our childhood. We're all married and some have kids of their own but this game really made an impact on us. Thank you
Kudos to the team for keeping the original soundtrack it surely brings back nostalgic childhood to me.
Now Stronghold Crusader 2, so much nostalgia. Thank you Firefly, it was nice to see you during gamerscon London few years back
Perfect, now we need stronghold crusader definitive edition 🔥
Can't wait to play so much free build
Same, I just want to build pretty looking castles haha
The only game in 2023 worth playing has been released! I'm gonna be trying some Stronghold content for the first time in my life this month! I have the highest hopes from this game! Love you Firefly Studios!
Just brought back a key part of my childhood. I had stronghold 2 growing up. I remember staying up all night playing this game. Wow, nostalgia.
Played this throughout my entire childhood. I just wanna thank you all for such a clean, quick and responsive game with so many fun things.
Thank you for playing!
Old school stronghold
Will you make contact to the ucp team? And integrate an "UCP AI battle option" ingame in teamwork with the official stronghold ucp-development team?
And please bring back the really nice option that you can half flatten the walls vision (50% flatten) (it is extremly useful when you want to see what is in your storehouse
when higher buildings for example mills stand in front of it and you have no vision on the storage!)
really appreciate and love the game
have a beautiful day
The music is so perfectly timed I can watch this so many times.
A diehard fan since the very first demo and Defending The Homeland Mission. Playing Stronghold (exactly one, not Crusader) is some of my brightest gaming moments to date.
I am thankful to be alive to witness this, thankful for Firefly still being alive (and well!), thankful that this Definitive Edition has come out! Already purchased and can't wait to play!
Thanks for taking part in the demos/tests :)
I'll buy a copy for each of my childhood friends who still alive today. can't wait for a grand online battle.
I hope you emerge victorious, my liege!
Now, do a crusader remaster
Congrats on your launch firefly. Your game was the first one i played when i was 9 years old. Now im 27 and ready for this game 🎉
Can’t wait to relive my childhood in 4k, thank you so much firefly
Thank you!
Can’t wait to play!
Will the ability to add AI to multiplayer matches be added at a later date or is that not planned?
Rarely these days we see a remaster that is so respectful to the original and yet adds to the fun experience. Lots of respect to Firefly and their work, looking forward to buy the remaster!
Glad you like it! Any feedback just let us know
I am not sure if this has already been noted, but there is a spelling mistake @1:42: PROTECT THE KINDGOM.
Just to let you guys know if that is of any importance. :D
Maybe it was intentional! (It wasn't)
@@fireflyworlds Hahaha
seeing the trailer gives me a lot of memories when i was 6-7, playing this with (and against) my cousins. time to brick back to good old days
I wish if I was a rich man to support this studio by Millions of dollars, just to see a remake for stronghold crusader or anew sequel
SKIRMISH MODE PLEASE
That's what was fun about the first stronghold crusader game
There was no skirmish mode in the first Stronghold game
it was introduced for the first time in the second one, SH: Crusader
@@Zarturael my bad, mate
can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get an option to use the original soundtrack, and also get a release of the new soundtrack on spotify and other platforms?
Stronghold: DE uses the original game soundtrack, this has simply been remastered and improved (lossless / double bitrate). Our trailer song will be uploaded to Spotify when we get the chance :)
@@fireflyworlds thats great news, thanks for the response.
i was afraid you guys changed the soundtrack and didnt include the perfect original.
its one of my favorite soundtracks ever and i listen to it frequently.
can we get the improved bitrate version on spotify then, or is the spotify version already improved?
Great one! , i wanna know who's the singer of "dar meshq" in stronghold crusader2?
That would be the lovely Lydia Pidlusky. :)
Man. I used to play this at my grandma's place when I was just a kid. Old chunk of a damaged crt monitor. When I grew older, I was always thinking about this game. Wanted it on my consoles. Haven't played in 20+ years. I'm excited to get my hands on this.
Unbelievably awesome that this game is getting an HD DE, nothing beats the art, music, and gameplay of this game! Except for Crusader. Really hope that is next :)
I remember back then when playing and looking at the food and feeling hungry hahahaha What a piece of my childhood, buying this version soon
stronghold crusader : Definitive Edition ? that will bring me back tons of players since it was the best game in your entire collection
please do stronghold crusader : Definitive Edition
Does it still have "Ghost - watching over you?", because that would scare the crap out of me when I'd play the game late at night.
Today I feel 22 years younger. Thank you!
Let's go!🎉
Can't wait for the next game to have some fun time with my pal, keep up the good work.
i thought this game was gonna be like stronghold crusader where you have missions building your castle then destroying the other enemy castles. i love doing those missions still to this day. this feels like half a game to me. hopefully you guys update it with missions like stronghold crusader
Hi there! Sadly skirmish mode was never part of our plans for DE. This is due to our small team size and the difficulty of backporting Crusader code to Stronghold. We've been clear about this during development in Q&As and dev diaries, although it is of course impossible for this message to reach absolutely everyone by launch. We priced DE accordingly, however if no skirmish mode is a deal breaker for you, you'll just have to wait for future games in the series :)
Fond memories of this game. I played it so much the advisor dude would call me out with a 'aren't you tired my Lord' or 'aren't you hungry'
Wow now that brought back memories, when did the first Stronghold came out? I'm 50 now and remembered playing that when I was young, this game and The Settlers 1 to 4 (the one with the Myan's, Romans, Egyptians etc.) got me very interested into strategy gaming.
Stronghold Crusaders was my favorite when playing these. 😁👍
I literally have tears in my eyes looking at this !! Sweet, sweet childhood !!! Please give us more and more content ! Invest into this title and expand it ! Word of mouth will spread ! Just don't get greedy and treat us fairly ! I'll pay whatever you ask me to pay if you're fair !
Hops needed my Lord for a long gaming night!
Finally a game worth playing !
ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО!!! СУПЕР!!!
The castle builder is here and it's the world premiere!!Give two Oscars at once!
thank you very much!!! super!!!
Literally about to finish work and buy this!!!! OMFG I am sooo excited!
I remember my dad came from work and gave me stronghold crusader game. He used flaskdisk to insert it to our computer. I was sick and watching tangled movie at the time. When I look at the game, I was like woah!! Since then I always play all the series of stronghold. Literally my childhood ❤
Back to the glory days of strategy gaming! This and stronghold crusader were such a blast.
Compared to original version resolution on 1080p, this game for me should be just a bit sharper. For example on normal zoom wood on original version is better and roof of my castle.
Definitive has these seems more blurred than the old version. Hm...
But when zoom all the way it's sharp but I cant see much around me.
What do you think, can we fix this?
please update presence of warships. so can fight in the waters .
Is it available this remastered sountrack 0:57 full version somewhere? it's sound amazing ❤
We'll get it on Spotify soon :)
It would be awsome if you released it on UA-cam Music as well.
Any plans for Stronghold 2 DE?
I remember my dad gifting me Stronghold and sitting on his lap as we would play it together. Between this and the Age of Empires series, endless games were had together with him. Now my daughter and I share that same experience together. Thank you @firefly for making such a great game. 😇❤️
Okay, can we get the trailer music somewhere? Remixed original tracks sound so good
We'll get it on Spotify (along with the Warlords soundtrack) when we have a moment after launch :)
@@fireflyworlds Lovely 😍
This game remains in my memories from elementary school
1:43 FOR KINDGOOOOOM
Will there be a Crusader remake?
Man the nostalgia really hits hard.
i remember playing stronghold from a demo disc in a magazine when i was young, i'm 29 now and own all of the games and will be owning this edition too :D
Incredibly done! Grew up with this game, this trailer brought back many warm memories and massive gratitude to all developers and composer Robert L. Euvino for creating such a wonderful atmosphere. See you all on the battlefields lords!
😍
A few things i noticed so far
the troups in the army part of the book still have random sizes
and when i tried place troups on towers they would sometimes just stop or even gon on the wrong tower (which weren't connected)

Well done. Now we need Stronghold Crusader Definitive Edition and everyone will be cheering to the heavens.
Playing it right now and haven't been this happy in a long time, thank you Firefly!
I know you have a small team and you said it’s time consuming to do so, but I still think this game desperately needs a skirmish mode. It would be time well spent on tbh. And it would bring you even more profit on this game.
P.S. also fix the issue with trees going extinct even if you’re not at or close to the vegetation limit.

Firefly never disappoints.
Could you upload the new version of castle jam on it's own? So great to listen to the soundtrack of the game !
We will soon! Keep an eye on Rob's profile on Spotify :)
Did anyone noticed the typo?
It says Kindgom instead of Kingdom.
PROTECT THE KINDGOM
@@fireflyworlds i hope this never changes
Stronghold has always been my favorite series. Ive been buildig castles for almost 30 yrs now. Ill be picking up this definitive edition, but i wont lie, i yearn for a new title in the series with bigger expansive maps.
and yes, this 'childhood' game that I used to argue with my brother to whos next to play. glad that i can now play it just by myself
"Here comes bessie" had me dying lmao, always loved that sound bit.
I will protect the Kindgom! 1:42
Great Trailer!
Honestly if it had skirmish mode I would buy it on day one. But without it I'll wait for when it's on sale.
This makes me happy, so excited to sink hours into this. Such a core memory of my early gaming experiences!
thanks a lot,great game. many people waiting fot it..
This is amazing. Thank you for this. Now we wait for Crusader DE.
I don't know what to say. This means a lot. This is like when you remember your deceased father in a situation with your son 😢
From 0:47 to 0:50
The legend of our childhood. That perfect game that instilled in us the love of strategy games. I wish you success. If you release Crusader Definitive, you will definitely have a big explosion....
Actually the first game i got to play on my pc as a kid! Stuck with me my whole life, as did the whole strategy genre. Not to mention being a history buff...
will you be doing something like this with crusader?
Stronghold is a great game. Definitive Edition was very good. I am also happy for the future content and updates. And thanks for the Turkish language support. I hope you started working on Crusader as well :) Good luck 😘
The amount of nostalgia in this game is beyond description
Wonderful work! Thank you everyone involved, time to relieve my childhood a little bit :)
Enjoy!
Been playing since I was little when my Dad showed it to me. Still have physical discs of Crusader and other Stronghold titles from over the years. Love this franchise to death. Been playing DE. tons. Love the modern controls and honestly everything you've all done with this iteration of the game. I hope that with the positive feedback you've gotten it helps confirm Crusader DE. But I understand if it doesn't happen. But going to be honest that would make me a very happy castle rat if it were to happen.
My timbers are being shivered, I cannot wait till stronghold 2, my childhood.
awesome trailer ! hyped
please share with us the new version of castle jam
Coming soon to Spotify!
Ahora Stronghold Crusader con las AI
@fireflyworlds Is there a place where I can find this version of Castle Jam? Or if not, would you be so kind to upload a clean version? its a banger of a song, iam loving it!
Coming soon to Spotify!
@@fireflyworlds THX
Greetings Lord Andrew, your Stronghold awaits….indeed it does. Thank you Firefly
1:53 Should've said "Your Stronghold: Definitive Edition awaits you".
Looks great. Well done!
Consider adding a skirmish mode-it's a must-have! Implementing it, Firefly, would greatly benefit your game. It adds significant replay value, allowing players to enjoy the game even after completing the campaign.
Stronghold is one of my favorite games :) Good job! Greetings from Poland to the entire Firefly team!
GRAZIE GRAZIE e GRAZIE. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Purchased and approved !! Thanks for this one Firefly, Stronghold was one of the thing i was missing in my life :D
I fell like the child i was 20 years ago, as a christmas day
