“We have faith in the demand for new 2D isometric strategy games” said Firefly Studio’s Chief Marketing Officer Nick Tannahill. “The overwhelming support, feedback and love for our series’ 2D roots made this project possible and we cannot wait to hear what players think of it! Stronghold: Definitive Edition has been a labour of love for the team, both for the series itself and a bygone golden era of isometric 2D strategy. We hope that shines through in the game, as we continue to provide updates and new content into early 2024”.
