Firefly Announces Stronghold Crusader 2

We are proud to announce Stronghold Crusader 2! Set to march across digital battlefields in late 2013, Crusader 2 will take legions of Stronghold fans back to the ancient deserts of the Middle East for more real-time mayhem between brutal knights and fiery Caliphs.

Our aim is to build on the trademark gameplay of the original Stronghold Crusader with new visuals, a sleek new battle interface and engine enhancements including effects, animations and real-time physics. Stronghold Crusader 2 promises you fast-paced skirmishes against fiendish AI opponents, as well as new maps, new unit classes, new traps and castle designs unlike any seen before in the series.

Stronghold Crusader is our favorite game in the series and we know many of you feel the same way. It’s the game we’ve been waiting to put into production for several long years and now that we finally have the chance to self-publish Crusader 2 we will not disappoint.

We’ve launched a teaser website at StrongholdCrusader2.com and will be posting new concept art, renders, updates and game info very soon. In the meantime please enjoy the art below and tell us what you think of the announcement in the comments below!

Stay tuned for more information!

Fingers and toes crossed.... once again.

Stronghold 3 went down in flames.... (in FF defense it was their publisher pushing them to release early). Will they have learned their lesson? Find out after this short commercial break.

The only thing that gives me more faith in this than their previous attempts at sequels is the fact that it's self-published. Fingers crossed.

I was a huge fan of Stronghold 1, not so much Crusader or Stronghold 2. I hope it's a mix of S1 and Crusader

As a mod for Stronghold kingdoms I just wanted to let you know some screenshots were released last night showing some gameplay action. A video is coming hopefully soonish

Remember Stronghold Crusader 2 isnt due out to 2014 and feedback and wishlist is on the mainsite and players are encouraged to participate!!

Stronghold Crusader 2 unlike Stronghold 3 is being self published and will contain SKIRMISH MODE!

Just to mention that they are now crowdfunding for this. £10 gets you the whole game in digital format. Take a look at their website for more info.

Excited for this.
Still playing Crusader one until this day, Stronghold 2 & 3 let me down so when back to the roots of it all.

All I want is more Crusader trails!

11 days to go to fund it and at the moment it is 32k

. Shame its not getting the press it deserves.

Stronghold Crusader 2 is set to appear at eurogamer, going to give it a try later this week!

Huggie86 · 26 Sep 2013 at 06:17

The original games are excellent, let us know if its any good and worth adding it to my calender. Anything has gotta be better than the last pile of rubbish they released.

If they repeat the mistakes of SH3 it'll be the nail in the coffin for that brand, I get the feeling the "HD" re-releases of the old SH games have probably sold more than SH3 did

Have to go back to their roots, with emphasis on the game actually being functional when it ships.. its frankly appaulling that anybody could allow a triple a title to ship in the state it did
Can always patch in more content if its lacking, just make sure the thing bloody works first!
