Holdfast Development Roadmap 2022!
Mon, 28 February 2022



Holdfast: Frontlines was a massive hit! Breaking its all-time concurrent player peak record 3 times over, it saw many new and old players alike return to experience the free total-conversion DLC. However. the team here at Anvil Game Studios already has their eyes set on bringing fresh new content to the game. Check out the development roadmap for a sneak peek at what’s to come.

We do most certainly hope that this will keep you just as excited as we are for the future of Holdfast! Expect updates to hit both the game’s Napoleonic front on both land and sea as well as the latest addition to that of the Great War.

An update will release early this week targeting bug fixes and optimisations.




Our Vision. Holdfast’s Future



The release of Frontlines stays true to AGS’s roots - Forging our Way Through History. It marks the beginning of a new era for Holdfast both literally and figuratively. The development of Frontlines has been well over a years worth of effort and required the expansion of our team to ensure multiple projects could be worked on at once and that nothing would become neglected.

Both Harper and Storey will be joining the team officially as artists to continue their work on Nations At War, Frontlines and a 3rd yet-to-be announced project that is early in the works. We’re most excited to share more about this in the future but for now we’ll leave you with one thing, as can be said with any title we develop, it will have you, our beloved community in mind. Graciously we ask for your patience and know that development of Holdfast will not cease thanks to the expansion of our team.

We’re sure you’ll enjoy this just as much when it sees a release!

We truly believe that the community is the content and our efforts will not stop here. As mentioned, the release of Frontlines is not an endpoint, rather the start of a new era for the team and this genre of warfare roleplay games we all dearly love. This expansion of our team will allow for content based releases to be worked on at a larger scale and efficiency as shown with Frontlines.

We also want to continue providing the tools for our most dedicated fellows to better enjoy the content we create. Our great community of modders have already been hard at work since the first iteration of the Holdfast SDK which is why we plan on releasing ‘Version 5’ of the SDK that will incorporate the new Frontlines additions amongst additional modding abilities. This will allow modders to create their own unique experiences for the game, perhaps even in eras or settings of their own picking.

Multiple competitions based around the updated SDK will also rise giving players the opportunity to get their own creations into the game. We've also committed to introducing additional content throughout this year on both the game’s Napoleonic and Great War fronts.

Finally, a thank you from everyone at Anvil Game Studios for your ongoing support, it is invaluable and has powered us on to create new experiences to give back to this wonderful community. We hope you enjoy all our efforts and we look forward to seeing you on the Frontlines after all this time!

Until then, may good health be yours. 💕

1st Series. Words From The Producer
Sat, 10 September 2022




Bringing Holdfast into the new age.

Greetings good fellows of our beloved community. First and foremost let me start by thanking every one of you lot for your most generous support and for being with us throughout this delightful journey. I can speak for everyone here in the team that it has been a great pleasure working on the game and seeing you enjoy the content we create.

Some of you might be asking the question of what’s the next big step for Holdfast and the team. I’ll be answering some of your questions in this decently sizeable post.

Anvil Game Studios is currently undergoing a major restructuring of its workflows, pipelines and schedules. We will be better defining the responsibilities and roles everyone in the team plays within the company based on each individual’s core strengths and aspirations. Why are we doing this? We want to ensure that our planned growth doesn’t come at the cost of lesser-quality releases or the sanity of everyone whom I have the greatest of pleasures working with.

Within the next year, we will be bringing new folks into the flock. As we have done so before, we will first look to recruit talented individuals within the confines of our community. The team will continue to grow as we embark on more ambitious updates for Holdfast and beyond.

Our sights are now set on a series of releases leading into 2023 that will bring Holdfast into the new age. Rather than continuing to pile on the many features that Holdfast sports, we will place the good majority of our development schedule focusing on improving existing content to deliver a smoother experience. We’re already doing this with Linebattle 2.0 by improving on performance, the fluidity of the game’s animations and its audio-scape.

To go hand in hand with the above-mentioned endeavour, we have been revisiting our planned update release strategy to ensure the longevity of Holdfast while keeping in mind the needs and wants of our community. We want you to be able to enjoy Holdfast and all that it has to offer for the years to come!

We will also be moving a few features from the 2022 roadmap to future updates. But does this mean that the next foreseeable releases will be lacking in fresh new content? Most definitely not. We are committed to delivering improvements to existing content alongside new maps, a new… Austrian faction and more.

How will we be bringing Holdfast into the new age?

●Polishing the game’s existing animations.
●Improving the first-person view.
●More passes to redefine the role every class plays on the battlefield (both army and naval).
●Cavalry, artillery, skirmishers and other mechanics will be undergoing significant reworks.
●Increase gratification for kills.
●Expanding on the recently released progression mechanics.
●Improving replayability and player retention (more maps, roleplay features etc).
●Revisiting old props and game models.
●Further improve our sound-scape.
●Redesigning our dated user interface.
●Dishing out more optimisations to the game.
●Bug fixes, optimisations and stability.

Our update release strategy has been fine tuned with something big we have in store for Holdfast in 2023. This will ensure the longevity of the game for the years to come. We’ll be sure to bring you in on this as we reach closer to this huge release!

I’m sure you’d also be interested in knowing what we’re planning for the next update so without further notice, here’s what you should expect to get your hands on with the release of version 2.8. Be sure to join Discord if you’re looking at getting in touch with us or wanting to provide us with feedback.

What’s in store for the next Holdfast update?

●Napoleonic howitzers.
●More additions to Holdfast’s soundscape.
●Engine upgrade.
●Feature allowing artisans to select the recently introduced new faces through the Holdfast SDK.
●Festive content! We’ll be planning ahead for some lovely Fred lore additions this Halloween.

Until next time, I thank you once again and may good health be yours.

Major Update! Austrian Empire Released
Tue, December 20, 2022



Steadfast and ready for battle, the Österreicher have arrived to Holdfast!



The long awaited Austrians finally arrive! Ram your shot and prepare for battle, the Austrian nation marches into Holdfast with this major update release. These dashing fellows in white are the latest addition to the Napoleonic front of the game and feature unique uniforms, voice lines and music to accompany them.

Before grabbing your musket and heading to the front, take a moment to watch the release trailer below and take a dive into the rest of this blog post to find out what else is coming and meet the latest fellow joining us on the battlefield… Nick ‘Wobblebang’ Claus.




Austria When? Austria Now

The Österreicher marches onto the field of battle in this major update. Featuring unique uniforms, voice lines, music and of course very splendid headwear, the Austrians will certainly make an impression on the battlefield and leave their mark.



These fine chaps in their glorious white are now available to play across all Holdfast Nations At War servers. So hop on Holdfast to enlist and fight for the Kaiser.

Nick 'Wobblebang' Claus!

After the antics of Fred during the dark Halloween nights we have been sent the ‘gift’ of none other than Nick ‘Wobblebang’ Claus who has come to cleanse the land of Fred's minion’s evil doing during this most festive season. Good ol’ Nick has brought with him not only his unwavering festive spirit but he has even kindly placed some presents for us all under the Christmas trees.

Unfortunately for us however, someones been letting him at the whisky again… so don’t expect much from him as he can be a little explosive at times.



Players are able to select the Nick ‘Wobblebang’ Claus head for a limited time throughout this festive update, allowing them to spread Christmas joy the only way Mr Wobblebang knows how. Our good fellow is doing his best!


Hills of Tyrol

Accompanying Nick and the Austrians will be a new battlefield for the games Napoleonic front. Inspired by the western Austrian state of Tyrol this small country town sits quietly beside a still lake making it the perfect place for a spot of fishing or in the case of Holdfast, some good old fashioned volleys of powder and shot.



The Hills of Tyrol is now playable across all Nations At War servers.

A Christmas Gift

All of the available Nations At War DLCs have been updated! Following this release, owners of the game's Napoleonic uniform DLCs will be treated with a free upgrade to the DLC that will introduce additional uniforms from both Italy and Austria to the various packs.



This upgrade to the game's DLCs will also apply automatically to players who newly purchase them. All of Holdfast’s DLC will be on sale for the duration of the Steam Winter sale. Feel free to pick up some additional uniforms for your classes during this holiday season!

2nd Series. More Holdfast In 2023
Sun, 1 January 2023


Wishing you all the best for the new year.



Greetings good fellows of the community. As another delightful year for Holdfast comes to an end, everyone at Anvil Game Studios has their sights set on yet another exciting and ambitious chapter.

It's been a whole 5 years since Holdfast saw a release on Steam Early Access back in 2017. Wondering about whats next for the team? Our commitment to Holdfast and its most-beloved community hasn’t changed.

Staying true to our vision that will bring Holdfast into the new age, in 2023 the team will continue focusing their efforts on a series of planned updates targeted at improving existing content to deliver a smoother experience. You will also not be left wanting new gameplay additions while all of this is ongoing. We have updates in store on that front as well within the same year.

Our strategy is fine-tuned with something big in mind for 2023. We want to ensure players of generations both old and new can continue enjoying Holdfast and all it has to offer for the years to come. To fully enjoy the beauty of multiplayer titles, it is instrumental that at any point during the day one can find like-minded individuals to play with.

You’ll soon have the pleasure of meeting talented new developers joining the team. Those in our Discord have seen some of these new faces cropping up already. We’ll be leaving official introductions for the coming year offering them some peace and quiet as they get accustomed to the codebase and everything else required to make games happen.

Stay tuned for more Holdfast. On behalf of everyone here at Anvil Game Studios, I wish you all, our dear community the best of health. May your 2023 be filled with great joy and happiness!

3rd Series. The AGS Team Grows!
Thu, 9 March 2023

More on what's to come.



Greetings good fellows of the community! Continuing with our commitment to bringing Holdfast: Nations At War into the new age the team has been hard at work laying the foundations for our 2023 plans which are just as much exciting as they are ambitious.

Holdfast has always strived to break through boundaries and revolutionise this genre of roleplay shooters and our year ahead will remain focused on this target. Bringing forth the next chapter of Holdfast will ensure its continued growth and expansion of a community that we have all come to love so dearly.

Once more, we want to ensure that you can continue enjoying Holdfast for the years to come.

With this goal in mind, the Anvil Game Studios team has welcomed 3 additional talented individuals who will be joining us on this journey to uplift Holdfast, and community-focused games from the team beyond to newer and greater heights.



Those eagled-eyed fellows in the official Holdfast Discord server would have already noticed these new faces but as an official introduction, we now have the pleasure of introducing to you the latest members of the team.

Gest - DevOps

Joining us as part of our development operations he's the one that makes systems happen for developers to work efficiently. It is an instrumental role that will enable the team to produce larger, more inspiring releases.

Matt - Game Developer Int.

As an intermediate Game Developer, Matt will be heading the charge forward in our primary efforts to polish up the game ready for the current and next generation of Holdfast enjoyers to get their fix of musket and trench warfare for many more years to come.

Grandayy - Game Developer Jnr.

Covering all things Holdfast, Grandayy will be getting his hands dirty in bringing additional gameplay mechanics and content into the game to enhance the overall experience on the battlefield and at sea.

While the onboarding process of these new fellows does of course take time, especially with Holdfast’s impressive 1 million+ lines of codebase, through the mentoring of our seniors all these chaps have made excellent progress.

You can expect to see content in the game from them very soon.


Increased XP Event Announcement

Serving as a small show of thanks from us for enabling our creative visions to come to life and making a dream come true, starting on the 15th of March 2023 until the 24th of March 2023 players can hop on Holdfast and get an increase of 1.5x for all score earned on all official servers.

Join us on the above mentioned dates and feel free to say hello if you spot these new chaps in the game to bid them welcome!


What We've Been Up To

Even with the team being busy to the brim onboarding these new individuals in the increasingly complex but awe-inspiring and rewarding field of game development, we're still set on bringing you more Holdfast content.

Be on the lookout for our next community-focused update targeting a late April release making accessible the regiment registry (clan system) while playing a match, bringing additional features to the said registry, a game-wide regiment chat, new leaderboards and much more.

This will all be coupled with a complete backend redesign of all the above-mentioned systems enabling us to continue expanding on similar features in the future. Holdfast is built on community and we want to continue showing our support as you have done so generously throughout these brilliant years.

On behalf of everyone at Anvil Game Studios, I wish you all, our dear community the best of health.

5th Series. The Barracks!
Thu, 29 June 2023

Visit the barracks and customise your soldier before heading into battle.




Greetings good fellows of the community! After many months of hard work we are now reaching ever closer to the release of the next major update. Internal quality assurance testing have been ongoing these past weeks and we have already undertaken early feedback sessions as we prepare to move into a larger scale closed BETA.

This update has taken some time, however, testing and polishing has been integral for bringing in a fresh lick of paint to the game and laying the foundations for the updates that will follow.



This update will bring with it an entirely redesigned user interface which will introduce some much needed modularity and scalability to the UI while also making Holdfast more accessible for all players.

One feature of this is the new ability to customise your soldier and playercard within the main menu. Before heading into battle, visit the barracks tab and customise your soldier for each and every nation. Any changes here will also be reflected within the in-game spawn menu.





*The above footage is a work in progress and may not be representative of the content upon release.

This introduction of the barracks will be the first phase of a new slew of cosmetic unlocks that will be obtainable through challenges coming with an update later this year. Playercard customisation for this update will be limited to begin with but we look forward to bringing in new medals, banners, weapon designs and much more into the barracks with the coming updates.

Rest assured that our commitment to Holdfast and its community remains as strong as ever! Revealing more of our plans for the year, sappers will be equipped with an improved arsenal of buildables.

The sapper was always intended to have a far great presence on the battlefield and the introduction of these new constructible objects will bolster their impact throughout matches and provide some far greater and robust defences to dynamically change up the battlefield with towers, palisades and much more.
