Coming as a free patch for existing players
Following up on the news thatFirefly Studios is putting out“HD” versions ofStrongholdandStronghold Crusader, we now have more specifics to work with. This is actually coming in the form of free patches for owners of the aforementioned games (and alsoStronghold Crusader Extreme) which will bump up the resolution cap from 1024×768 to 2560×1600.
That means you’ll have the option to view the full map on a single screen, a welcome feature for an older strategy series such as this. The studio has dedicated websites for both theoriginal titleandCrusadershowcasing screenshots of how it all looks in practice. Really, any excuse to jump back into earlyStrongholdis a good excuse.
Look for the HD patches on GamersHell and GameFront to start, followed by additional mirrors thereafter. New players can grab either re-release on GOG.com, Amazon, GetGames, and DotEmu starting tomorrow.
