Happy 8th birthday Forts!

Thank you to everyone who has joined us on this now 8 year journey of construction, destruction, and reconstruction. Perhaps the real fort we've been building was the friends we made along the way? Numbers and graphs and words alone can hardly express how much the Forts community means to us. Every stat represents countless stories from everyone who has ever played or watched Forts. We are honoured to share this ongoing story with all of you.

And to further celebrate, the entire Forts catalog is on sale now until April 26th. It's the perfect time to expand your own Forts library or to share Forts with friends. Here's to year 9!

From the casual Corporals to the completionist Commanders. Whether an Engineer just dipping their toes or a dedicated Fabricator. If you're still a newly minted Private, fresh from the barracks and stilll learning which end of the cannon to point towards the enemy, or a seasoned Sergeant who has definitely never collapsed their own fort, your contributions show up in these totals. Where will you be in year 9?
