Stronghold: Definitive Edition is a remaster of Stronghold (2001) featuring redone visuals, new campaigns, new audio and Steamworks-based multiplayer. It uses the Unity engine as a wrapper for the original game.
Post-release, the game received five minor and two major free updates coinciding with paid DLC. The Winter Update (version 1.2), released on February 13, 2024,[1] contains new economic missions and maps, as well as video clips for the new Sergeant character, and released alongside the Swine's Bay paid DLC. The Spring Update (version 1.3), released on April 30, 2024, includes a new Castle Trail and maps, and released alongside the Valley of the Wolf DLC.[2] All patches also included bug fixes and mission tweaks, with the 1.11 patch also re-encoding all videos from MP4 to WEBM format due to severe artefacting and playback issues with the former.[3]
