Sound effects coming to SHK next week!
Stronghold Kingdoms has now gone gold, with a GM update scheduled for Wednesday 17th October 2012.
Kingdoms will be leaving its open beta phase next week with a new update that adds sound effects to the game. Following on from the addition of Quests, the new Coat of Arms Designer, graphical updates and our milestone of one million registered players, we feel it’s time to finally bring the game out of beta.
Sound effects have been frequently requested by players and having tested them over the past few weeks we feel they are ready for release, adding another layer of immersion to the game that should appeal to players new and old. Battles will rumble with the marching and clash of armies, scouts will be heard galloping to their next target and traders carting off goods to the parish capital. We will also be adding a number of sounds to the user interface, providing better feedback during gameplay.
The release of Stronghold Kingdoms makes no change to the free to play model on which the game was built and the 50% bonus to Crown purchases will remain.
We hope you enjoy the update!
