Stronghold 4 is the long-awaited next mainline entry in the Stronghold 'castle sim' series, bringing cinematic story and medieval immersion to the forefront of real-time strategy.

Immerse yourself in a cinematic campaign, hone your siegecraft with new mechanics in skirmish mode and customise your castles with a wide selection of castle pieces and cosmetics.

Follow the tale of Penryn of Wethel as his simple shepherd’s life is upended and he is forced through trial by fire to become the leader he sees within himself.

Feel the impact of a living medieval world on your castle economy and siegecraft, as you battle against hostile outlaws, rival lords and the elements themselves, with the bloody sieges and grand warfare of Stronghold feeling more epic than ever before!

Stronghold 4’s public demo arrives for you to play on 23rd June.

Wishlist the game to get notified as soon as the demo goes live!
