The thunder of cannons, the roar of a cavalry charge, and the slightly-off-key tune of a player leading his comrades into battle have finally arrived on console in Holdfast: Nations At War.
The viral PC sensation Holdfast: Nations At War has made its much-anticipated landing on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S today. The multiplayer first and third-person shooter from Anvil Game Studios, which has built a famously dedicated community over many a year, is now ready to swell its ranks with a new legion of console players.
With massive 150-player servers and complete crossplay between PC and consoles from day one, the scale of war has never been this grand, or this hilarious.
Charge into Battle Across Two Eras
Holdfast: Nations At War offers players the unique opportunity to fight on multiple fronts across history. You can equip your musket and march in disciplined lines on the battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars, or head to the gritty, trench-ridden frontlines of World War I. The choice is yours, with each era offering distinct weaponry, tactics, and battlefield roles.
The headline feature of Holdfast is its sheer scale. You’ll be fighting in massive 75 vs 75 multiplayer battles, creating a true feeling of being just one soldier in a huge conflict.
This is all brought to life by the game’s famous proximity voice chat, which allows you to hear the war cries, strategic callouts, and comical ramblings of every squadmate and enemy in your immediate vicinity, leading to some of the most immersive and funny moments in online gaming.
Find Your Role on the Battlefield
With a grand selection of over 27 classes to play, there’s a role for every type of player. You can ride to glory on horseback as cavalry, command troops as an officer, give ’em steel with a bayonet as a line infantryman, or even provide musical support as a fifer or drummer.
The conflict isn’t just confined to land. You can command mighty warships from the golden age of sail, coordinating with your crew to unleash devastating broadsides. Or, in the WW1 setting, you can bombard the beaches of historic Gallipoli with the powerful cannons of a dreadnought.
More than just a game, Holdfast is an experience driven by its players. The role-playing features and proximity chat have created a unique community where full-on clans engage in tactical battles while other players simply look to create and capture hilarious, viral moments.
Whether you’re a hardcore roleplayer, a casual gamer looking for a laugh, or an FPS pro wanting to pull off musket trickshots, you’ll find your place on the frontlines.
