Samantha Béart and Ben Starr headline a new Stronghold game coming to Steam later this year
Stronghold 4 has been officially revealed at the PC Gaming Show, marking a significant milestone for the long-running medieval strategy franchise. Despite its numbered title suggesting it’s the fourth mainline entry, Stronghold 4 is actually the 10th game in the series, which has entertained players since its original inception with its distinctive focus on medieval castle design and warfare.
The game is notably headlined by prominent actors Samantha Béart and Ben Starr, both known for their acclaimed roles in Baldur’s Gate, suggesting a more cinematic approach to the franchise compared to previous entries. While specific details about their roles in the game remain limited from the reveal, their involvement indicates an emphasis on narrative and character-driven elements.
Gameplay remains rooted in the series’ core appeal: players will design and construct medieval fortifications, develop their castles, and engage in strategic warfare against enemy forces, destroying opposing structures in combat scenarios. This classic formula has defined the franchise for decades.
Stronghold 4 is slated to launch on Steam later in 2026, with players able to add the game to their wishlists immediately through the PC Gaming Show’s official Steam page. Additional details about gameplay features, campaign structure, and other platform availability are expected to be revealed in the coming months.
