Stronghold: Definitive Edition – 2024 Winter & Spring Updates

Together with a host of fixes and improvements, the first of these planned DLC packages, the Winter Update, will feature the new Swine's Bay DLC narrative campaign,, which follows the events of the main game and is narrated by returning series actor Christopher Kent. In Swine's Bay, players are pushed through seven ruthless military combat scenarios across original maps as they seek to retrieve the Jewel of the North from the clutches of the infamous slaver Captain Hogsfoot.

Releasing alongside this DLC, the free update will add a second economic campaign, voiced by another returning Stronghold actor Jay Simon. These missions are designed to test players' strategic skills beyond the warfront with a series of intricate resource production and management challenges. Kingdoms may be crushed by warriors, but they can only be raised by those with the vision to build.

Looking forward to the future of the studio in 2024 and beyond, Firefly is actively engaged in a number of announced and unannounced games, the most prominent of which is the as-of-yet untitled Stronghold Unreal project, built using the industry-leading tools of Unreal Engine 5. Needless to say, witnessing the love for mechanically deep, passionately made strategy games like Stronghold: Definitive Edition has lit a fire under the studio, and the team can't wait to share more
