Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition’s Autumn Update adds new maps, commanders, and campaigns, with some content restricted to paid DLC.
Shortly after the release of Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition—a remaster of the original title—Firefly Studios is launching the game’s first major update. Dubbed the Autumn Update, the content pack will roll out in two parts. The first part has revealed new units, characters, visuals, and larger maps. The update is expected to be released for players in late August.
Let’s take a closer look at what it offers in terms of free and paid content.
Stronghold Crusader Definitive Edition: Autumn Update Guide
The Autumn Update for Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition is the first content update for the remastered game since its launch. It expands on the RTS’ map pool with three new maps for different game modes. The update will introduce three new AI commanders, including the Crocodile, Canary, and Trader. All commanders have animated interactions with the player. They are also playable for multiplayer and skirmish modes.
The series’ first Economic Campaign will release alongside these additions, challenging players with resource management and expansion objectives rather than combat. For those who prefer the industry of war, the Sands of Time skirmish trail offers nine missions with ranked leaderboards and target completion times.
Finally, the addition of two-player co-op to the game’s skirmish trials and campaigns introduces a new layer of strategy and coordination to Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition.

Autumn Update Content Summary
- Three New Maps: New maps for skirmish, free build, and multiplayer.
- Two New Commanders: The Canary and the Trader.
- Economic Campaign: The series-first economic campaign will test players’ knowledge of the game’s resource and city-building systems with only a light touch of combat.
- Sands of Time: A new nine-mission long skirmish trail focused on combat and siegecraft with target completion times and online leaderboards.

Free Vs Paid Content
Not all the new content rolling out with the Autumn Update is free. Certain parts of the above-mentioned additions are locked behind a paid DLC. The DLC’s price isn’t known yet, but it shouldn’t raise many eyebrows given the full game’s modest pricing.
| Free Update | Paid DLC |
|---|---|
| • The Crocodile (CPU Commander) • Economic Campaign • New Maps | • The Canary (CPU Commander) • The Trader (CPU Commander) • Skirmish Trail |
