Gallipoli drops players deep into the Middle Eastern campaigns of World War 1

BlackMill Games, the studio behind the highly regarded WW1 Game Series, is proud to reveal Gallipoli, the next major game in its historically authentic FPS saga. Launching on PC (Steam, Microsoft store and Epic Games), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Gallipoli takes players to one of the most overlooked but dramatic theaters of the First World War, the Middle Eastern Front.

Watch the new trailer now!

From the windswept beaches of the Dardanelles to the scorching deserts of Lower Mesopotamia, Gallipoli delivers the series’ most immersive and intense depiction of WW1 combat yet. Players can battle from the beaches, clash through ruined cities and sandstorms, or engage in desert warfare to hold and reclaim strategic ground as either British Empire or Ottoman forces.

“With Gallipoli, we’re highlighting a front that’s often overlooked, despite its importance,” said Jos Hoebe, founder of BlackMill Games. “Others have explored it before, but this game lets us go deeper, offering a more accurate and complete portrayal in line with the rest of the WW1 Game Series.”

A New Front in the Great War
Gallipoli expands the scope of the WW1 Game Series, offering a dramatic shift in setting, tactics, and terrain. Inspired by the expeditionary warfare of real historical Gallipoli and Mesopotamia campaigns, this is the most diverse battlefield yet in the series.

Key features:

More than a battle, it’s a campaign
Gallipoli is the fourth standalone entry in the WW1 Game Series, following Verdun, Tannenberg, and Isonzo. Each title focuses on a different front of the war, offering grounded and historically inspired FPS gameplay that fosters tactical cooperation and authenticity.

With Gallipoli, the series moves beyond the trenches and Alpine warfare of Europe to spotlight the lesser-known Middle Eastern campaigns. This entry captures the strategic ambitions of both the Allied and Ottoman expeditionary missions, and the soldiers who fought far from home under extreme conditions.

Add Gallipoli to your wishlist now on Steam to stay informed as we march toward launch. It’s also available on the Epic Games Store here.

The first major ‘Autumn’ update will arrive in two parts – a free content update as well as an optional paid DLC. The free content will introduce The Crocodile, a brand new computer-controlled opponent with his own tactics, castle design, army and of course, snappy personality!

The wizened lord of the marshes, The Crocodile is a bitter cruel fellow, driven beyond sanity by envy of his rival lords. Players will encounter The Crocodile across a new five mission economic campaign, in addition to being playable in skirmish mode (and in case you’re wondering – yes, the game has actual crocodiles, too.) While there will be some degree of combat to contend with in the economic campaigns, the ultimate goal and thus victory will be decided by mastery of the game’s various economic industries and castle-life mechanics.

The free component of the Autumn Update will be capped off by the inclusion of three new maps, one for Skirmish, Freebuild and Multiplayer.

The paid DLC will feature two new CPU commanders in the form of The Canary and The Trader, and a new 9 mission ‘Sands of Time’ skirmish trail – complete with target completion times and leaderboards. Players can expect military scenarios will test their strategic prowess and skills of siegecraft, as they wage war against these new tricky CPU characters.More about these new adversaries and their attributes will be revealed in due time!

After Stronghold Crusader: DE’s fantastic launch, Firefly is highly determined to keep pushing further, through the likes of additional content updates and gameplay improvements, to truly make this definitive edition the completely elevated tribute of a strategy classic.

Blue Dot Games are proud to reveal the latest trailer for ‘83, their upcoming 40v40 squad-based tactical first-person shooter set in an alternate 1983 where the Cold War escalated into an all-out warzone. Coming to Steam Early Access later this year, ‘83 is a spiritual successor to Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, which much of Blue Dot Worked on. This latest trailer, Cold War Gone Hot, shows off ‘83’s horrific “what if” scenario where players take the side of NATO or Warsaw Pact forces in sprawling, period accurate battles.

Watch the ’83 – Cold War Gone Hot Trailer HERE.

This offers the first look at the Fulda Gap map. Set in Germany between the Hesse-Thuringian border, the Fulda Gap was a strategically important region during the Cold War, as its two narrow corridors of lowlands offered the Warsaw Pact a potential path for its tanks to initiate a surprise attack. That makes it the perfect playground to enact this invasion that very well could have been. ‘83 puts players in the boots of a soldier in this shadow history, wherein massive 40v40 matches feature authentic Cold War-era weapons, vehicles and squad-based objectives. Coordinate with teammates, capture critical points and dominate the battlefield with smart tactics and teamwork.
