Firefly Studios is preparing Stronghold 4 - the next main part of castle sim.The game is announced for 2026 and is being built as a prequel story to the original Stronghold, combining the economy of the castle, the construction of fortifications and sieges.
The developers promise a cinematic campaign, Skirmish Trail, free construction and custom skirmishes.In Custom Skirmish you can field up to eight computer opponents.
The main character of the campaign is Penryn.Its story takes place before the events of the first game, and the economy will be influenced not only by enemies, but also by the conditions of the surrounding world.The fortress should function as a living settlement, and not just a collection of walls.
Stronghold 4 maintains the balance of RTS and economic simulator instead of going into pure combat.Other notable projects of the exhibition season are collected in our final material.
The official factsheet clarifies the scale of the campaign: it is designed for 22 missions.The cast includes Ben Starr, Samantha Beart, Wallace Hammond and Harry McIntyre, with new music written by Robert L. Euvino.
Weather will become part of the system game: snow interferes with the growth of crops, heavy rain reduces the shooting range of archers.Firefly is also bringing back ditches and mines and promises larger maps.Steam indicates Russian interface and subtitles.
The game plans to launch on PC through early access.Steam's minimum requirements currently list 16GB RAM, GTX 1060, and 33GB storage;SSD recommended.These are preliminary parameters that can still change along with the build.
