Upcoming 150-Player Shooter With ‘Very Positive’ Reviews Arriving on PS5 and Xbox Soon

Okay, so imagine this: July 9 rolls around and bam! Holdfast: Nations at War suddenly crashes onto the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S scene. Maybe you’re like me and have this awkward thing for historical multiplayer shooters. This one’s been out on PC, and people are pretty hyped about it. Like, “Very Positive” rating hyped. Steam doesn’t hand those out like candy, you know?

But here’s the thing about Holdfast: It’s like a mash-up of Napoleonic Era drama and World War 1 chaos—with, I don’t even know, like 150 players just going wild. Can you picture that? Almost feels like you’re dropped into a history book with the pages flapping like mad around you. Pure anarchy, just the way we like it.

Oh, right! I stumbled upon this video they launched, hopefully, it’s as cool as the game sounds. And honestly, the proximity chat? It’s a riot! Imagine yelling “FOR THE QUEEN!” or whatever while you’re getting pummeled by cannonballs. Ah, the epic meme possibilities are endless. Got me thinking, and laughing, mid-battle.

Now for the consoles, what quirky adventures await? Basically, you get to choose from a bunch of historical factions—pirates, maybe? Or not, I digress. There are 70 maps! 70. And crossplay! How neat is that? Xbox, PlayStation, and PC folks all slugging it out. Customization galore, too: over 100 cosmetic bits to fuss over. Makes me wonder if I should focus more on my character’s hat or maybe develop a strategy for battle first… decisions, decisions.

Hold up, editions galore! Whether you’re going classic with the Standard or going all out with the Collector Edition, there’s a flavor for everyone. Personally, I’d probably opt for the ones with more cosmetic jazz—kinda how I roll in these games.

For PC players, now’s probably a good time to hop on the bandwagon. They slashed the price like crazy on Steam until July 10. From $19.99 to just $4.99. 75% off! Even my wallet’s raising an eyebrow in interest. While the console crowd is jumping in, why not join during this chaotic convergence of platforms, right?

And here I totally meant to organize my thoughts more, but hey, chaos suits the mood of the game, doesn’t it?
