Massive 150-Player Shooter with “Very Positive” Reviews Arriving Soon on PS5 and Xbox

Alright, here we go. Imagine seeing this game popping up on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on July 9. Yeah, that’s happening. It’s this game called Holdfast: Nations at War. If you’ve been lurking in the world of PC gamers, you probably heard whispers about it. Folks there seem to dig it, given its “Very Positive” badge on Steam. It’s like the game invites you into this chaos of historical warfare. And guess what? It’s not just one era—it’s a mash-up of the Napoleonic times and World War 1. Up to, wait for it, 150 players. Bam. It’s almost like stepping into a time machine with about 149 other people.

Anyway, where was I going with this? Oh yeah, the game started off as a kind of behind-the-scenes deal back in 2017. It got its official PC badge in 2020. And now, fast forward a bit, there’s this trailer flaunting all the epicness. They even tossed in some meme-ish moments. You know the ones—players doing their thing, cracking jokes, all while pretending they’re marching through history. The real kicker? There’s this proximity chat feature. So, literally everyone in your audio space can hear you, even when you’re just trying to sneak around whispering strategies. Or singing shanties. Your call.

So what’s the deal with Holdfast on consoles? You get to throw down with historical factions—many of them. By sea or land, doesn’t matter. Plus, you choose from 27-ish classes. Seems like a lot of choices, right? With 8 factions and, no joke, 70 maps. Let’s not forget about how you get to doll up your characters with a hundred bitty unlockables. Emotes, weapons, hats, the whole shebang. Crossplay’s on too, meaning PlayStation, Xbox, PC gamers… they all get to dance this chaotic historical jig together.

Alright, what’s the loot situation on consoles? You got choices. Standard Edition gives you the base game and Frontlines WW1 DLC. Napoleonic Edition is like the Standard, but it throws in some extra tunes, a snazzy Loyalist Edition Upgrade, and historical flair with a Napoleonic Pack. The Great War Edition flips out the Napoleonic for some other pack. And if you’re the “Gimme everything” type, there’s the Collector Edition. All in.

Oh hey, PC gamers, you’re not left out. There’s this sale happening. Until July 10, the base game’s going for about five bucks. It used to be 20. 75% off, if numbers tickle your fancy. Extra packs and stuff also have their prices cut. So, if you’re itching for some digital historical warfare, now might be your moment to jump in. The console folks are joining, adding more faces to this grand, chaotic war ballet. Woo!
