Description

Fight on multiple fronts in Holdfast: Nations At War - A multiplayer first and third-person roleplay shooter set during the great Napoleonic Era and WW1. Charge into battle with over 150 players per server!

History

Development on Anvil Game Studios’ debut title 'Holdfast: Nations At War' officially started in June 2014. The idea was to create a competitive and teamwork oriented multiplayer game inspired by the Napoleonic Era. This setting meant that the game's mechanics were developed based on the tools of the time; muskets, cannon and warships from the golden age of sail.

Holdfast: Nations At War was made available for purchase through Steam’s Early Access program on September the 21st 2017.

Having spent more than two years pushing updates to deliver on the promises set out in the roadmap all the while acting on feedback put forward by its dedicated community, 'Version 1.0' saw a successful release on the 5th of March 2020. Anvil Game Studios will continue to support 'Holdfast: Nations At War' with additional features and content following its full release.

Throughout these years Holdfast continued to receive multiple updates consistently adding new content, features and even a free total conversion DLC based in WW1 called 'Holdfast: Frontlines' which was released as a thanks to the community. This expansion marked 'Version 2.0' launch for Holdfast and propelled the playerbase to an all time high.

After 9 dedicated years of developing the IP, Holdfast will be making its way to consoles on July 9th 2025 and will be available on Playstation 5 / Pro and Xbox Series S / X with full cross-play support. Players around the world will be able to engage in 150+ player battles across an impressive selection of battlefields and scenarios.
