Witness the game that started it all, carefully rebuilt using the source artwork, remastered music, returning voice talent and veteran developers of the first entry in this legendary series.

Welcome to the fractured, war-torn frontier of medieval England. With the King betrayed by his treacherous lords and a realm on the brink of collapse, take control of scattered forces and reunite your kingdom against the monstrous Rat, Pig, Snake and Wolf!

Strike down each villainous Lord in missions ranging from breaking sieges and capturing enemy castles to building epic fortresses and repelling enemy assaults. Test the limits of your strategic mind with castle assaults and grand banquets in military and economic campaigns.

Dive into classic RTS and city builder gameplay now elevated with remade graphics, modernised gameplay, Steam Workshop support, community requested features and a higher fidelity/remastered soundtrack from series maestro Robert L. Euvino. Gather resources, construct mighty castles, protect your townsfolk, manage your gold, raise armies and wage all out war!

Stronghold: Definitive Edition features the original game’s classic military and economic campaigns, together with an entirely new 14 mission narrative campaign designed by Firefly Studios founders Simon Bradbury and Eric Ouellette. This is alongside extra single player content in the form of a 10 mission ‘Castle Trail’, which sees players either defend or besiege historical castles such as Warwick, Dunnottar and Marksburg.

Exclusive to the definitive edition, this new 14 mission campaign sees players march across the devastated English hinterland in search of Sir Longarm's captured kin, before venturing beyond the story in a challenging new historical 'Castle Trail' of 10 unique scenarios.

In addition to a host of technical enhancements and player-requested quality of life improvements, Stronghold: Definitive Edition will allow fans old and new to customise their experience with individual settings for many of their preferred game features and controls. Beyond this and fresh single player content, players will also weave new gallant tales of victory by picking a fight online with full Steam multiplayer support. Alternatively designing their own fiendishly challenging maps via Steam Workshop or downloading hundreds of player creations made during the game’s rich 20 year legacy.

• ZOOM INTO NEW VISUALS remade by the original artists with improved animations, textures and lighting.
• REMATCH CLASSIC VILLAINS as you hunt The Rat and The Pig in a challenging new 14 mission campaign.
