Sure thing, here’s a reimagined version of the article:

So, here we go. “Holdfast: Nations at War” is landing on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and I guess I should’ve seen that coming. July 9th is the big day, for anyone keeping track. Console folks are about to dive into this multiplayer madness that PC gamers have been raving about. It’s sitting at a “Very Positive” on Steam, which seems like a nice thumbs up from those who have played it.
What’s the deal with this game anyway? Well, it’s a historical shooter but with twists. We’re talking Napoleonic Era drama mixed with World War 1 skirmishes. Up to 150 players in these chaotic battles — it’s like a history lesson gone wild. Anvil Games Studios, why’d you go and make things this epic?
Oh, quick detour — there’s this image floating around, teasing us about console releases. Seen it somewhere, don’t remember where. Anyway, back to the game. “Holdfast: Nations at War” started its journey back in 2017 in early access. The full PC release was in 2020 — feels like forever ago, right? They even put out a trailer with gameplay highlights and memes from player clips. Honestly, the proximity chat just adds layers to the chaos. There’s these in-character antics during battles that are pure comedy gold (or chaos, depending on your viewpoint).
So, what’s in store for console warriors? Historical factions, battles on land or at sea, over 27 classes, 8 factions, and 70 maps. A bit of everything, really. Customization heaven too with more than 100 unlockables. And crossplay! Xbox, PlayStation, PC folks — all in the mix. Talk about a party, huh?
If you’re wondering about editions, here’s the rundown: Standard Edition gives you the base game with a Frontlines WW1 DLC. Napoleonic Edition has that plus the OST and some packs. Great War Edition swaps the Napoleonic Pack for a Great War Pack (decisions, decisions). And the Collector Edition? Everything bundled in one. Choices, am I right?
Oh, right, PC folks. If you’re tempted to join the fray, there’s a Steam sale until July 10. The game’s down to $4.99 from $19.99. That’s a 75% slash, nothing to sneeze at. Packs and extras got discounts too. With console players flooding in, seems like now or never to jump in. Ready to hold the line?
