Firefly Studios has released a demo of the upcoming Stronghold: Definitive Edition, following the game’s successful reveal just a few short weeks ago. The demo is now available on Steam and features a number of new changes and improvements, including:
- Updated artwork: All artwork in the game has been remade, from landscapes and resources to units and buildings. The art team, which includes talented developers from Stronghold 1 and 2, has used the original source assets as their starting point to ensure authenticity as well as improvement.
- New features: The demo also includes a number of new features, such as a tutorial for new players, a Steam multiplayer mode, and a new campaign.
- Feedback: Firefly is encouraging players to provide feedback on the demo through the Stronghold DE Survey. This feedback will help the studio to further improve the game before its release on November 7th.
News of the re-release has been well-received, with over 100,000 Steam users wishlisting the game already.
