Stronghold: Definitive Edition marches out November 7th
The even newer edition features the original game’s two campaigns alongside a new one designed by studio co-founders Simon Bradbury and Eric Ouellette.

Striking before and after transitions aside, what else is new? Long-time series composer Robert L. Euvino is back to remaster the soundtrack, alongside returning voice talent and a refreshed look made “using the source artwork.”
That first HD re-release happily retained the original’s great offence and defence tug of war, as Nate Crowley (RPS in peace) named it one of thebest base building games on PC. He explained that “it’s Helm’s Deep with stiffly-animated knights instead of orcs, and there’s a lot of fun to be had in working out where to put your curtain walls, siege weapons, and nightmarish fire traps.”
