After producing one of the most played demos of the entire Steam Next Fest, Firefly Studios is announcing today that Stronghold 4 will now be launching April 20th 2027.

The aim had always been to launch into Early Access with as much polished content as possible, so this extended window allows the studio more time after that to add to the public release version of the game and incorporate feedback from that into version 1.0.

By launching into Early Access on April 20th, Stronghold 4 players will receive everything intended for the original release date such as a full story campaign, custom skirmish mode, a skirmish trail and Free Build but also included now is the economic campaign, important quality of life improvements and additional essential polish.

So on top of ensuring that the EA release is as content rich and polished as possible, this extra time allows the team to properly showcase all the new and cool aspects of the game, such as medieval siegecraft, villages, weather and more!

March through the new skirmish demo, shape the game with your feedback and prepare to return to the lush green roots of Stronghold in spring 2027: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2153760/Stronghold_4/
