We are celebrating today’s DRM-free launch with a behind the scenes video, courtesy of Stronghold series composer Robert Euvino. A close friend of ours, Rob’s work has been highly regarded since the release of the original Stronghold (2001). An integral part of series’ identity, find out what goes into creating the sounds of roaring soldiers, marching armies and clashing swords.

This new DRM-free version of Stronghold Crusader 2 comes packed with a year’s worth of free updates. New features include a classic Stronghold Crusader map pack, AI invasions for the otherwise tranquil Sandbox mode and custom modifiers for multiplayer like Strongwalls. Also added is support for GOG Galaxy, the fully optional gaming client that allows players to download updates, play online multiplayer, chat, track their game-time and more.
