Does Stronghold 4 Have Multiplayer?
Last checked: 2026-10-28
Not at the 7 December Early Access launch. Online multiplayer, co-op skirmish trail and the economic campaign come with 1.0 — expected around six months later.
Direct answer
No — not on 7 December 2026. The Early Access build is single-player: campaign, skirmish vs 8 CPU lords, Free Build and the skirmish trail.
What is coming and when
The studio's own EA Q&A: the 1.0 version delivers online multiplayer, a co-op skirmish trail and an economic campaign, with Early Access expected to run "around six months" (could change). That puts multiplayer roughly mid-2027.
Buying advice in one line
If multiplayer is your only reason to buy, wishlist and wait for the 1.0 announcement — the game will also likely cost more by then (the studio says it may raise the price during EA), so that is the real trade-off.
Not yet documented
Statistics, cost and balance details have not been published. They will be added — with the build they came from named — once the game is playable.
