Halloween Update 2022

Stronghold Crusader 2 · published 25 Oct 2022, 17:02 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

To ring in All Hallows the deranged coders and artists at Firefly have once again cursed your pigs, peasants, poultry and more in Stronghold Crusader 2!

Reduced to little more than bones, dust and spooky procedurally generated names like ‘Reginald the Ripper’, your lifeless peasants now wander decrepit castles as skeletal subjects. Tomb stones, rotting pumpkins, cobwebs and more also now adorn your once magnificent castle structures, along with unholy flames in the workshops of your medieval minions.

So what’s a Lord to do? Well you can remain terrified of Reginald or purge him from your castle with new green wildfire! Whatever floats your boat. Just keep them working, fight back against the curse and perhaps the horror will pass...

Our Stronghold Halloween update is now available on Steam for players with the latest version of Stronghold Crusader 2. This event will last for eight days, with the above spooky cosmetic changes in place until November 2nd at 10am GMT. After this the curse will fall, your peasants and livestock returning to normal, fire to its natural non-demonic colour and castles to their former splendour.

Happy Halloween!
