Massive 150-Player Shooter with Stellar Reviews Set to Hit PS5 and Xbox Soon

Sure thing, let me see if I—oh wait, gotta backtrack a bit. We’re diving into something about this game, Holdfast: Nations at War, which is kind of like if you could throw yourself back in time and have a proper brawl with history. No, really.

So, here’s the scoop—you’re a console player? Well, mark July 9th on your calendar because that’s when PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S are getting this wild ride. PC folks have been raving about it, like non-stop praise. Seriously, check out Steam; it’s got a “Very Positive” vibe going.

Now, what’s the deal here? It’s a shooter game, but not just any run-of-the-mill type. We’re talking Napoleonic Era clashing with WW1. Quite the range, huh? And it’s not a small-scale skirmish—150 players going at each other. I’d say it’s a madhouse, kind of like when you step on LEGO barefoot, but with muskets and cannons.

Ah, there I go again, sidetracked! Anyway—right—the game got a proper release in 2020 after teasing folks in early access since 2017. And they’ve been sneaky, throwing out this trailer. Kind of a mishmash of epic battles and, get this, meme-worthy moments. Players chatting, role-playing in the midst of chaos. Almost like being in a play where everyone forgot their lines.

What’s coming to consoles? Expect a historical brawl-fest. Pick your side, from 8 historical groups—are we calling them groups?—and dive into 27 classes, 70 maps. Overwhelming? Maybe. But with 100+ unlockable goodies, from emotes to backpacks, you’re basically in for a collector’s dream.

And don’t start thinking you’re playing solo. We’ve got crossplay, folks. Xbox, PlayStation, PC—everybody gets to throw down together or against each other.

Bit of a side note, but here goes nothing—there are four game editions you can snag. The Standard gives you the basics plus some WW1 goodness. Napoleonic Edition adds some flair and an OST—music while you conquer. The Great War edition swaps Napoleonic stuff with Great War packs. And if you’re thinking, “Give me everything,” well, the Collector Edition heard you.

Oh, PC players! Forgot to mention (or did I?), there’s a sale happening. 75% off until July 10th. Base game’s just $4.99. Weird, right? I’d dive in now before everyone else catches on.

So yeah, that’s the hodgepodge tale of Holdfast: Nations at War on consoles. Chaotic, kind of like trying to balance a wobbly stack of pancakes, but good fun, I reckon.
