Developer walkthrough accompanies the playable demo available during Steam Next Fest

Sherman Commander is coming to PC on Saturday, March 14, bringing its action-packed tactical tank simulation to Steam. To mark the occasion, Daedalic Entertainment and developer Iron Wolf Studio have released a new gameplay video featuring developer commentary by Artur Salwarowski of Iron Wolf Studio. At the same time a playable demo is now available as part of Steam Next Fest. In the video, Salwarowski walks viewers through the game’s core design philosophy, highlighting the blend of first-person tank action and squad-based tactical combat, with a strong emphasis on infantry cooperation and battlefield awareness.

The commentary also reflects on feedback gathered during the open playtest and how it directly influenced the game’s evolution, including increased unit autonomy and a stronger focus on leading troops from inside the tank rather than from a tactical map. Sherman Commander is developed by Iron Wolf Studio and published by Daedalic Entertainment, with the demo offering an early hands-on look at the refined gameplay systems.

Gallipoli launches later this year on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S

BlackMill Games, creators of the historically grounded FPS WW1 Game Series, today revealed new footage from their game Gallipoli during IGN Fan Fest, highlighting the Siege of Kut Al Amara, one of the most significant battles on the Ottoman fronts of WW1.

Watch the Gallipoli: Siege of Kut Al Amara Trailer HERE.

Siege of Kut Al Amara
Developed with BlackMill’s signature commitment to historical authenticity, the Kut Al Amara campaign brings the siege to life across a battlefield that transitions from open desert warfare into dense urban combat. Players can fight from sun-scorched dunes and trench networks toward the town itself, battling through key strongholds such as the British “Mud Fort”, palm-lined approaches along the Tigris, and the narrow streets of Kut’s bazaar district.

Some of the new weapons coming to Gallipoli
The Arsenal found on the Ottoman Fronts often saw older weapons pushed back into service. Some of these were considered dated even by 1915, but in war necessity will always prevail. The American-made Peabody-Martini M1874 returned to the battlefield and saw service with many Ottoman troops, while the Hotchkiss Portative Mk.I provided mobile firepower much like the famous Lewis Gun, an icon of the fighting of the Great War.

Gallipoli aims to deliver large-scale, squad-based multiplayer combat set across the deserts, trench networks and defensive strongholds of Lower Mesopotamia. As the next standalone entry in the WW1 Game Series, Gallipoli expands on the franchise’s historically grounded first-person shooter gameplay, allowing players to fight as soldiers of the British Empire or Ottoman forces.

Add Gallipoli to your wishlist now on Steam and Epic Games Store.

Blue Dot Games has unveiled a new Developer Tapes video for ‘83, revealing how real-time strategy mechanics elevate its upcoming 40v40 squad-based tactical FPS. Set in an alternate 1983 where the Cold War escalated into global conflict, the latest showcase focuses on the Commander role – a strategic position focused on battlefield oversight, tactical decision-making and team coordination. The video offers an in-depth look at how this RTS-inspired system enhances teamwork and reshapes multiplayer engagements.

‘83 Developer Tapes #7 – Commanders

In ‘83, every team has the option for a single Commander. These leaders spend the majority of their time in the overhead command view, controlling the battle like a real-time strategy game; managing squads, deploying abilities, and reading the flow of combat from above. As a Commander, your first order of business is to set up a command post, where you can see squad positions, objectives, enemy markers, and key updates in real time. Think of it as your war room, everything important flows through this interface. From here, you can send attack or defend orders, or place waypoints on the map telling your soldiers where to go. Furthermore, Commanders have a dedicated Commander VOIP channel, available only to them and squad leaders, which can be used to issue orders and plan strategy without the distraction of general team chatter.

In addition to issuing squad orders, Commanders can call in a variety of support options like artillery and rocket barrages to clear areas or suppress enemies, smoke shells to block enemy lines of sight, reconnaissance aircraft that reveal enemy positions from high altitude, or a reinforcement wave tool to call in an instant respawn for your whole team. Abilities cost resources like fuel or munitions and have cooldowns, so timing and prioritization are key. Ultimately, playing the Commander is about situational awareness, team coordination, and tactical decision-making. You influence the shape of the battlefield, direct the momentum of each push, and guide your team toward victory…or defeat.
