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!
I think 2D is the only way to go. But unfortunately they will probably not accept going back to that.
Yeah , it simply doesn't work for them..maybe other dev can do a proper 3d transition , I hope they learned that. Put it in 2D HD and it's going to be awesome...I mean look some of todays games , Bastion for example looks gorgeous..
Sorta have the old Crusader feeling, but till I play it no. Also, the tall towers are back, hope they aren't limited to two people as in the video, loved to spam those towers, put 5 archers on each one and a fire..thing, however it's called, I remember that ninja looking guy was doing his base like that.
This looks like a proper Stronghold again, can they succeed? I really hope so because I *loved* the original Stronghold (and Crusador), but the rest of the games were downright aweful.
Thanks to everyone who supported our Gambitious crowdfunding campaign for Stronghold Crusader 2. Whether you donated, shared the news with friends or simply viewed one of our update videos we hugely appreciate you spreading the word.
As you know our campaign did not fully fund, however rest assured all pledges have been cancelled and backers will not be charged any money. Crusader 2, the sequel to our favourite Stronghold game, will still be made and we will still be holding a beta.
Here are our plans going forward:
Release Date – Crusader 2 is[url] still on track for release in early 2014[/url] with all the same features, units and game modes originally planned for release. The only change we will have to make is that some additional game content will be made available a little later on post-release. This will be made available as a mix of free downloads and DLC.
Multiplayer Beta – A multiplayer beta will still take place in early 2014, although the number of invites sent out will need to be reduced to keep the scale of the beta small and affordable. You can expect to hear more about the Crusader 2 beta at the start of next year.
