Gird your loins, sharpen your steel and travel back in time to the legendary crusades for the holy land, in this expanded definitive edition of the fan-favourite Stronghold Crusader! Engage in historical desert skirmishes reimagined with new missions, units, AI opponents, larger maps and upgraded visuals, all faithfully reforged using the source artwork, music, returning voice talent and veteran developers of the original game.

In Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition, players dominate the greatest frontier of the medieval age, waging brutal war across timeless battlefronts and sieging epic fortresses, to relive the glorious clashes that have shaped human history. Journey across the heart of the medieval world and take part in the legendary Crusades for the holy land with enhanced visual fidelity and a fully remastered soundtrack courtesy of legendary series composer Robert L. Euvino.

Catapulting from its towering 23 year history, Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition expands on the original RTS city builder. Four new AI opponents, eight Bedouin warrior units, two historical campaigns to learn how to command these soldiers and four ‘Sands of Time’ skirmish trails to test your skill means there is plenty to look forward to.

Skirmish mode lovers meanwhile will also be rewarded with larger map sizes and new maps to battle across, along with a new co-op skirmish trail, custom options and other player-requested changes.

Snarls! Soon you will see what it means to wage real warfare! That is… In our final instalment of Stronghold: Definitive Edition’s ‘Jewel’ campaign! Valley of the Wolf extends the base Stronghold: DE campaign with new missions and extra achievements. Under the tutelage of the wise Sergeant, finish the fight by rescuing Sir Longarm’s captured kin once and for all as this new DLC is out now for $2.99, €2.99 and £2.49.

This final chapter of ‘The Jewel’ campaign pits players against the greatest rogue of them all… The vicious Wolf! To safely retrieve the Jewel of the North and put an end to The Wolf’s insidious scourge, players must plunge directly into the belly of the beast and bring the fight to his borders. Against great odds in unfamiliar territory, survival alone demands that nothing is held back.

Also out as part of our ‘Spring Update’ is a second castle trail of 10 siege scenarios. This new ‘Noble Trail’ will arrive alongside additional maps for Multiplayer, Free Build and Siege modes, with the exciting (and long overdue!) introduction of our first ever Polish castles to be featured in a Stronghold game.

Malbork, Niedzica and Biskupin will all be found in the new castle trail, while Ogrodzieniec will be playable as a standalone map through Siege mode. We would like to thank our Polish fans who suggested these epic citadels online and in person last year, at events like Gamescom and EGX. Your support for Stronghold: Definitive Edition has been incredible and we hope to bring demos of future Stronghold games to events in Poland. So please keep an eye on our socials for the latest news!

Be sure to check out our full patch notes on Steam. These will include a run down of other minor features, fixes and improvements coming to the game as part of the Spring Update in version 1.3.

Thanks for playing!
