Last week we took a short break from showing off our new Early Access tactical dungeon crawler to run around the PC Gamer Weekender interviewing our fellow developers. Watch as we run through our eight top picks of the show and interview some amazing developers including British videogame superstar Julian Gollop! Follow us as we investigate everything from medieval RPGs and fantasy RTS games to farming simulators and cat dating sims! Featuring Kingdom Come: Deliverance, SpellForce 3, Real Farm, Endless Space 2, Deep Rock Galactic, Purrfect Date, Phoenix Point, Biomutant and of course our very own MetaMorph: Dungeon Creatures.

We also just want to say massive ‘Thank You!” to all the amazing studios that featured in our video. We really appreciate your time during the event and hope to see you again very soon.

To celebrate the Steam Lunar Sale we are putting massive discounts on all Firefly Studios titles, from Stronghold HD all the way through to our new Early Access game MetaMorph: Dungeon Creatures. So what are you waiting for? Go get up to 90% off on satisfying your castle simulation urges!

If that doesn’t convince you, then watch as Spencer Steel presents his legendary gaming hour and takes you through each amazing deal. Whether you want to orchestrate massive caste sieges in the Stronghold series, zap some alien critters in Space Colony, or go on a rampage in a menacing dungeon full of lethal foes in MetaMorph: Dungeon Creatures, the Steam Lunar sale has got it all!

It’s Team Lionheart versus Team Saladin in Firefly Studios’ very first Stronghold community quiz! Stronghold tournament winners Max and Nico take on Firefly veteran Paul and German Community Manager Pascal in this two vs two clash of Stronghold scribes. Questions range from which units a particular building can produce to game-specific protagonists and some oddly specific knowledge of tree physics!

Watch the video in full for Paul’s peerless impression of Pascal Deveraux, bonus points awarded for Firefly’s extensive Stronghold expertise and some particularly impressive fan knowledge to boot. Test your memory of Stronghold 2, Legends, Crusader and other classic titles in eight rounds of nerdy goodness in our first ever devs versus players match-up!

After two weeks looking toward the future of Stronghold, both for our mainline series and updates for Stronghold Kingdoms, this week we’re revisiting the past! So lend us your eyes and ears as we run through our top 7 Stronghold and Space Colony Easter eggs! While there may be one or two secrets that aren’t really secrets anymore, given it’s 15 years since Stronghold invaded hard drives worldwide, we bet you don’t know them all! We’d wager the ability to play Legends in third person, early Trump references in Space Colony and even the Stronghold ghost managed to pass most fans by! Obviously these are just a few of the secrets, references and Easter eggs we’ve hidden across more than 10 titles since 2001, so if you have a favourite reference not featured in today’s video let us know!

We’re kicking off 2018 with a short announcement on the status of our upcoming Stronghold game, which we are currently referring to as Stronghold Next. It gives us great pleasure to announce that we have now entered into full production on the next mainline Stronghold game for PC. Planned for a late summer reveal, Stronghold Next will be shown for the first time with a full gameplay reveal and information about the new title. You can expect the game’s setting, new units and mechanics, full title and planned features to be revealed as soon as we’re ready to show you what we’ve been working on. Continue reading →

No one ever *truly* expects Shooting Stars, which is why we’re giving 2017 the send-off it deserves with a collection of the year’s very best Firefly Studios video outtakes! Join us as we look back on a year of trailers, studio tours, highly professional interviews and costumed antics for Stronghold, MetaMorph and Stronghold Kingdoms. The product of what must be hundreds of hours of footage, our first outtakes was designed by resident videographer Aaron to fulfill your desire for behind-the-scenes hijinks and (more importantly) memes.

Enjoy!
