At a glance

Stronghold 4 is a real-time strategy game from Firefly Studios and a narrative prequel to the original Stronghold. Set in medieval England years before that game, it follows Penryn of Wethel, whose shepherd’s life shifts toward leadership and a search for knighthood. Castle management and siegecraft are shaped by a living world: snow can hinder crops, heavy rain can reduce archery range, and castle constructions include deadly traps. The game features a cinematic campaign, skirmish mode with new mechanics, larger maps, and a wide selection of castle pieces and cosmetics for customizing castles. It is listed as an Early Access title in the Simulation and Strategy genres. Steam features include adjustable difficulty, saving at any time, achievements and trading cards, plus options such as mouse-only play and custom volume controls. The listed platform is Windows. Its release date is listed as 2026.
