Tannenberg brings the massive battles of the Eastern Front to life with up to 40 players fighting for control of the battlefield.

Inspired by the infamous Battle of Verdun in 1916, Verdun takes place on the Western Front between 1914 and 1918, in one of the bloodiest conflicts in world history. As a multiplayer FPS set in a realistic Great War atmosphere, the vicious, close-quarters nature of trench warfare means that skill with a bayonet can be as vital as good aim with a rifle.
Five distinct game-modes with many historically accurate features such as realistic WWI weaponry, authentic uniforms, horrendous gore and maps based on the real battlefields of France and Belgium. The dynamic Frontlines game mode features up to 40 human and AI players taking turns to go over the top and attempt to capture the opposing trench line.
Tannenberg takes place across the lakes, forests, mountains, and snowy plains of the Eastern Front. Players will be able to master a range of authentically modelled equipment brought to the field by Russian Frontovik and Cossack squad’s, the renowned Latvian Riflemen or the Romanian infantry squad. Alternatively, they can join the Central Powers to serve in an Austro-Hungarian K.u.K unit, with the German Infantry or the Bulgarian rifle section.
The game offers several modes, including the exciting Maneuver mode that reflects the nature of war on the Eastern Front, as up to 40 human and AI players battle across large maps where the objective and battle line are always shifting. Survive by working together with your four-man squad and utilizing your distinctive skills. There is a wealth of historical detail, including realistic weaponry, authentic uniforms, horrendous gore and maps based on real battlefields. Both Verdun and Tannenberg are expected to launch on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in January 2022 for only $24.99 US and $29.99 Canada
