Starting today anyone who pre-orders Stronghold 3 from GameFly’s Direct2Drive will receive an exclusive single-player level based around a historically accurate recreation of Edinburgh castle, as it was during the medieval period. Players can choose whether to attack or defend the famous location – which stands upon an extinct volcano in the center of the city – before heading online to compare their performances in the brand new leader boards.
“We’re pleased to be partnering with 7sixty to offer consumers at GameFly’s Direct2Drive an exclusive castle to explore,” said Sean Spector, GameFly co-founder and SVP of Business Development and Content. “The additional level is a great value-add as it’s not available anywhere else, it expands the single-player experience, and offers players the opportunity to become king of that castle in the online high score tables.”
Customers who pre-order will also receive a free copy of Stronghold, the hugely popular PC title that catapulted the series into the limelight back in 2001. It’s a great warm-up for knights who need to practice their battle tactics before the release of Stronghold 3 or fresh-faced squires who have never played the franchise before and need to get up to speed on the intricacies of castle building.
