The Stronghold Kingdoms series retains a following with over eight million registered players. ĭespite the uneven success of some of its games, the studio continues to develop new games and has sold over seven million copies to date. The lead designer at Firefly Studios, Simon Bradbury, stated that the title was "our favorite game, it’s our fans’ favorite game and it’s the game we have been waiting to put into production for several long years now." The title was initially scheduled for release in early 2013 but due to delays was not released until 23 September 2014. More recent games included Stronghold Crusader II, the sequel to their 2002 game Stronghold: Crusader. Fans pointed to various issues, including the difficulty involved with building walls and the absence of a kingmaker. The game received some criticism on gaming sites for game bugs. Stronghold 3 was officially announced on by SouthPeak Games, and was released in October 2011. A subsequent newsletter stated that the studio had "something very big in the pipeline" which would be revealed in 2010. In 2009, when asked if they had any other unannounced games in development besides Dungeon Hero and Stronghold Kingdoms, the studio responded that they still had one more game in development. The studio later canceled the release of the planned Dungeon Hero game. In 2008, Firefly announced that they would be working on Stronghold 3 followed by Crusader II because of demand from fans. Around this time, the studio began a collaboration with Firaxis Games that produced CivCity: Rome, a game that received poor reviews and was the last Firefly game published by Take-Two Interactive.
The last of the series, Stronghold: Crusader Extreme (2008), received an average score of 40 percent on Metacritic. The later Stronghold releases, Stronghold 2 (2005), and Stronghold Legends (2006), both received poor reviews and were given Metacritic scores of 63 percent and 57 percent respectively.
