First-Person Shooters

BlackMill Games, creators of the acclaimed WW1 Game Series, have announced that Gallipoli, the next major instalment in the series, will launch on 21 May.

As teased in the trailer, players can experience the renowned beach landing in First Person, rowing from sea to shore in fragile boats under heavy fire. Jump from your rowboat onto the beaches to seek cover from enemy fire, and at a later stage fight their way across the hills to the front line trenches.

Set across the pivotal campaigns on the Ottoman Fronts of the First World War, Gallipoli delivers an authentic depiction of WW1 combat, with a focus on the Gallipoli campaign and the ANZACs. Relive the battles that unfolded from the Gallipoli Peninsula, including an authentic recreation of ANZAC Cove, to Lower Mesopotamia, taking up arms as soldiers of the British Empire or the Ottoman forces.

Players can also look forward to historically accurate details such as personal explosive devices made from ration tins, ‘slouch’-style hats for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and a recreation of the infamous beach landings, featuring the iconic (but dangerous) rowboats.

Jos Hoebe, founder of BlackMill Games spoke on the development and the significance of ANZAC day to their community, “Ahead of ANZAC Day this weekend, our new trailer aims to shine a light on ANZAC Cove, a battlefield we’ve carefully brought to life in-game. It’s a setting that carries real historical weight and we hope to encourage reflection on the events that took place there.”

New trailer showcases the Cold War gone hot!

Blue Dot Games are proud to reveal that their upcoming 40v40 squad-based tactical first-person shooter ‘83 is coming to Steam Early Access on April 23rd. Set in an alternate 1983 where the Cold War escalated into an all-out warzone, ‘83 is a spiritual successor to Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, with members of the original dev team founding Blue Dot Games. To commemorate the Early Access release date reveal, Blue Dot Games has unleashed a new trailer offering an extended look at its launch trailer debuted during the Galaxies Showcase today.

’83 – Early Access Launch Trailer

“Our motto for ‘83 was “accessible realism”, where everything – from the uniforms to the specific sounds of and animations of firing each gun – is thoroughly researched to create a historically accurate shooter, yet we still want the game to be fun to play, with merciful respawn times.” said Tony Gillham, CEO at Blue Dot Games. “Don’t let the accessibility fool you; while anyone can pick up ‘83 and have a good time, teams will still need to communicate and perform their role well to seize a victory. ‘83 carves out specific Commander and Squad Leader roles for veterans to guide their squad, while rookies can learn the ropes from the front lines until they know the game well enough.”

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.

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.

Electronic Arts Inc. and Battlefield Studios today launched Season 2 across Battlefield 6 and REDSEC. Season 2 sends the fight to Europe with two new maps, limited-time modes, and much more, rolling out across three seasonal phases beginning today.

Launching across Battlefield 6 and Battlefield REDSEC, Season 2 introduces two all-new maps, Contaminated, a large-scale map set in a once-vibrant forest now scarred by experimental weapons and heavy shelling, alongside Hagental Base, a military facility that becomes the stage for intense close-quarters combat and stealth-focused gameplay later in the season.

BATTLEFIELD 6 OFFICIAL SEASON 2 GAMEPLAY TRAILER

Phase 1: Extreme Measures, begins today with the debut of Contaminated, and the introduction of VL-7, a new limited-time experience built around psychoactive smoke intensifying combat. These smoke clouds blanket key areas of the map, disorienting players with immersive hallucinations and forcing squads to adapt in real time.

On March 17, Phase 2: Nightfall takes the battle to the deepest depths of a military facility called Hagental Base. Tied to this phase’s theme, a limited time mode brings darkness to the map, where blacked out corridors create a stealth driven experience. Players gain access to Night Vision Goggles, allowing squads to navigate the darkness and gain the tactical advantage. Nightfall will also arrive in Battlefield REDSEC with a dedicated Gauntlet playlist.

Season 2 concludes on April 17 with Phase 3: Hunter & Prey, introducing Operation Augur, a limited-time mode across both Contaminated and Hagental Base. Inspired by Battlefield 1’s Operations mode, this is Battlefield at its most cinematic, with emphasis on large-scale objectives, sustained momentum, and squad coordination over the course of an extended campaign.

Additional Season 2 highlights include new weapons, vehicles, gadgets, and customization options rolling out across all three phases, along with a new Battle Pass and store content.

Battlefield 6 and REDSEC are available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (Steam™, EA App, Epic Games Store).
