Stronghold Warlords is getting back to the rack with the new update

Firefly Studios have released a new spotlight video for Stronghold Warlords, that talks about six new additions coming to castles in the game, including a little bit of torture, for that accurate medieval experience. By taking Stronghold east Firefly will explore new castle economies, religion, new resource chains, and introduce other series improvements such as a brand new roads system and mini-economies for the titular warlords.

From dancing bears and peasants skipping around the maypole to jousting, and even the controversial gong system, Stronghold has always added plenty of little touches simulating the bustle of a larger feudal city, with even more elements added on top of this.

“Self-publishing means we can give the sim side extra time, meaning the return of classic features like torture and fresh game modes,” said Simon Bradbury, Designer and Founder of Firefly Studios. “It’s nice having that freedom to iterate on the daily life aspects of what it was like to live in a castle, with proper systems-driven gameplay and detail.”

The game is set to release on PC sometime in 2020, but no window has been narrowed down for it yet.
