World War One has arrived in the mountains of the Italian Front - beautiful but deadly in equal measure. Inspired by the two year struggle for control of the Isonzo river valley and Alps during World War One, Isonzo elevates the WW1 Games Series, figuratively and literally.
The new Offensive game mode puts you right in the middle of key historical offensives on the Italian Front - lead the charge across stunning Italian landscapes on the attack, or prepare your defence on dynamic battlefields.
Everything is recreated based on research and field trips, from the uniforms to the huge arsenal of weapons. Blow your enemies away at range with mortars, artillery and air support, or finish the job at close quarters with a bayonet. Watch out for the dreaded poison gas...
You’ve never experienced WW1 action quite like this! Isonzo is available on PC (Steam and Epic Games), PS5 & PS4, Xbox Series S/X & Xbox One.
We’re only scratching the surface of what’s new in Isonzo - there’s more yet to be revealed, including details on the new features and more beautiful Italian battlefields are on the way: Follow our Reddit or Twitter to get the latest updates!
The WW1 Game Series currently includes Tannenberg and Verdun (set on the Eastern and Western Fronts). These authentic WW1 shooters let players choose from a range of squads from across the war, as they fight for control of the ever-changing frontlines.
While you wait for Italian Front to heat up, you can already join trench warfare in Verdun, or maneuver for control of key sectors in Tannenberg.
The next free update for Isonzo is coming in Q3 of this year, and we're ready to start sharing some teasers. First up are a few glimpses of the new Offensive map which will headline the update. As we mentioned in the roadmap update, you can expect to be fighting on an overcast summer day - but merely calling it 'overcast' doesn't do justice to the hard work our mappers have put in. Get a load of these skies!
There are certainly dark, forbidding clouds hanging overhead in places...
...and the sections of burning forest don't help...
...but in places the sun is trying to break through...
...like here - where it looks almost idyllic (aside from all the battle damage).
You probably have questions. What are these places? How extensive are those bunkers on the slope? Who is attacking and who is defending? For today that will all have to remain a mystery, but we'll be revealing more with each coming dev blog.
If you have the PC or Xbox Game Pass, you can now download Isonzo for free as part of your subscription. Note that people playing via the Game Pass will not be joining the pool of Steam and Epic Games players - you can see how the various cross-play setups work in the image below.
We've written bits and pieces about the light machine guns in Isonzo (as distinct from the heavy machine guns which are static weapons placed by the map...
A new campaign event begins in Verdun and Tannenberg, and Isonzo gets a small update.
The Ascent event is over, so we look at some player screenshots and what's coming next.
