Eternal Crusade introduces the new game mode “Stronghold” and increases the maximum number of players per map. We have the details.
More Players, More War
Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade received its 15th major content patch, bringing some innovations to the 41st millennium. Well, strictly speaking, it’s about “more war,” but that’s what the fans wanted. The main feature is the new “Stronghold” mode, where two teams fight for control of a fortress.
One team has to storm the fortress, while the other players can take cover behind the walls to push back the attackers. To balance the advantage of defense somewhat, the team in the castle has only a certain number of tickets (= lives) available before the supplies run out. At the same time, the player limit per map has been raised to 64, allowing for even larger battles.
Additionally, there are some new weapons, a revamp of the interface, and new voiceovers for many characters and announcements.
However, players are also warned: The patch was created rather hastily and has not been extensively tested internally. Accordingly, there may be problems and bugs that will hopefully be fixed quickly through hotfixes.
Currently, Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade is still in Early Access on Steam and plays more like a lobby shooter. What the game is supposed to offer at release, we have compiled for you in this post.
